NAMIBIA Best of Namibia
August 30 - September 14, 2024
16 Days / 15 Nights
ZAR 82,500
(Approx $4853 USD at 17:1 exchange rate)
Single Supplement 6900 Rand
(Approx. $406 USD at 17:1 exchange rate)
Namibia is a vast, sparsely populated country situated along the south Atlantic coast of Africa. Namibia's excellent infrastructure, superb lodges, vast open spaces, and easy birding all contribute to its reputation as one of the most popular birding destinations on the continent.
This incredible tour of contrasts will take us to three world heritage sites, from the mighty Victoria Falls and the serene Okavango Delta Panhandle to the arid expanses of the Namib Desert. We’ll be treated to a vast array of endemic and desert-adapted birds of the dry west, a taste of the spectacular shore-birding in and around Walvis Bay, incredible waterbirds in the Okavango Delta, and the amazing supporting cast of the African Savannas. From Pel’s Fishing Owl to Dune Lark, African Skimmer to Damara Tern, this tour offers some of the best birding in southwest Africa. Namibia is also a photographer's dream with wonderfully obliging birds, amazing scenery, and bucket-loads of big game, including Africa’s famous Big Five.
