Safari Description
Three nights in the friendly coastal town of Swakopmund is precisely the right time frame to really experience everything that is on offer, including the climate. The Namibian coastline is often chilly, with a cool breeze and frequently foggy mornings and afternoons.
We cruise the famous lagoon at Walvis Bay with its myriad of ocean creatures and birds. Cape fur seals, flamingos, great white pelicans and much more are all on the sighting’s menu.
Sandwich Harbour is an Atlantic Ocean and dune sea adventure where we roller-coast the high dunes and play chicken with the waves during our trip to the remote, beautiful and historic Sandwich Harbour.
The dune sea of the central Namib Desert is the most iconic of all the destinations and many other attractions that Namibia has to offer, and with good reason. Explore Sossusvlei and Deadvlei, as well as the opportunity to climb the famous Big Daddy Dune
