Highlights:
- Etosha National Park wildlife
- World’s highest sand dunes
- Cheetah, Lion & Leopard Foundation
- Family Safari to Namibia
The wildlife of Namibia is nothing short of spectacular from the imposing forms of elephants and rhinos to small brightly-coloured birdlife. Etosha is a premier game viewing destination and its waterholes attract prides of lions, herds of impala, springbok, giraffe, kudu, wildebeest, zebra and oryx. By contrast the coast offers thousands of fur seals, flamingos and the opportunity to see dolphins. To top it all you’ll spend the night at the ‘Africat Foundation’ where you’ll see cheetah, lion and leopards whilst learning how these amazing animals are being protected.
The red sand dunes of Sossusvlei are said to be the highest in the world. Climb one before dawn breaks and you’ll be amazed as they change colour with the rising sun. Of the peoples of Namibia the semi-nomadic Himba are probably the best known, their long hair matted with red clay. They still live according to a very traditional lifestyle and you’ll spend time in a village experiencing a completely different way of life.
