8 Day Highlights of Namibia

8 day escorted tour, Windhoek to Windhoek

Tour HN

To this day, Namibia encompasses magnificent and unspoiled wilderness areas – some unique to the African continent. To blend the classical highlights of this largely arid country with its hidden and remote hinterland requires flexibility and a sense of adventure. The 8 Day Higlights of Namibia travels from the dunes of the Namib to the rugged terrain of Damaraland where the desert-adapted elephant and rhino have found a refuge. The key to the success of this diverse journey is found in the small, personalised group size of a maximum of nine. This tour is a must for wildlife, desert and dune enthusiasts.

Highlights include:
• The world’s oldest and most awe-inspiring sand dunes at Sossusvlei
• Explore the pristine wilderness of Damaraland, Cape Cross, Brandburg and the ancient desert plant Welwitschia Mirabilis
• Track desert elephant and rhino in the Etosha National Park
