Add to this a plethora of hospitable lodges, exceptionally good roads and many superb areas for wildlife safaris, and the country becomes perfect for individual exploration – by light aircraft, guided expedition or self-drive.

To focus on the highlights of a Namibia holiday is to take in the soaring red dunes of Sossusvlei, the rich colonial culture of the coastal towns, and the wildlife in Etosha National Park: mountains, sea and safari in one iconic trip.

But spread your wings further, and the options are even more tantalising. With a fifth of this huge country protected by national parks, and much more safeguarded in superb private reserves, there is no shortage of mountains to hike, of wildlife to seek out, of sheer space in which to safari.

This extraordinary diversity of landscape protects the people of some of Namibia’s most ancient cultures, from the semi-nomadic Himba whose villages are scattered among the vast rocky plains of the north-west to the San, or Bushmen, who have for millennia hunted on the open plains of the Kalahari 

Whether you choose a fly-in safari, a guided journey, or the freedom of the open road, Namibia promises a safari experience to suit your style and inspire your sense of adventure.
