Namibia is blessed with truly spectacular scenery and in a country with such a sparse population, it has a great deal of exciting and unique game. The majestic Gemsbok, ochre coloured Desert Elephants and an abundance of Cheetahs. Hard to believe but in Namibia, cheetahs are considered a pest. The country is also home to a thriving population of Black Rhinos and one of the destinations we offer is a breeding and sanctuary where you can track this impressive beast on foot.

Etosha National Park is the jewel in the crown, a large flat salt pan which stretches as far as the eye can see, and a magnet for all types of thirsty game. The park is very well managed with fantastic government chalets and accommodation inside the park or it can be visited with daily forays from Private Lodges outside the gates. It would take several days to drive the entire park. On the outskirts of the park are several luxurious Lodges where you are able to take evening game drives and which have their own watering holes to watch game after dinner.

There are several organisations in Namibia that rescue cats and other game, the most well known being the Africat Foundation which is located between Etosha and the capital, Windhoek. It is possible to stay overnight and go out on drives to see some of the tame and not so tame cats which have been rescued and are waiting to be released. The Foundation has an educational programme which guests are encouraged to experience. Okonjima is home to numerous species of big cats, including cheetahs, caracal, leopards and lions. Get up close and personal with some of these impressive pussy cats.

Head west into Damaraland, where you can track wild Black Rhino on foot and watch out for desert elephants roaming the scrubland. The area is also home to the enigmatic Himba tribe, whose villages you can visit.

Further south are the famous red dunes at Sesriem and the Namib Desert, one of the oldest and driest places on earth. Marvel at the amazing number of animal species that have adapted to life in this environment, surviving on the sea fog for moisture. Safaris here involve much more participation as your guide reveals the many creatures that call this area home. A really different safari experience.
