SAFARI & WILDLIFE IN NAMIBIA
Spot wildife in the world's oldest desert
Namibia is one of the most spectacular places in Africa to go on safari. You'll be spotting: elephants, giraffes, lions and maybe even rare black rhinos.
From wild animals to majestic whales
Namibia serves up one of the most spectacular safari experiences in southern Africa, bringing you face-to-face with some of the continent's most incredible wildlife. The country is home to Africa's largest elephants, which roam majestically across the wide-open plains, giving you an amazing chance to spot these giants alongside countless other animals in their natural habitat.
A trip to Etosha National Park is your ticket to seeing iconic wildlife like lions, rhinos, and giraffes up close. Meanwhile, the famous Skeleton Coast will blow you away. Not just with its dramatic, rugged landscapes, but also with the massive whales gliding right along the coastline. On top of that, the Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world, stretches out as far as the eye can see, creating a stunning backdrop for your journey.
Before diving deep into the wilderness, take some time to explore Namibia's vibrant capital, Windhoek, to get a real taste of the local culture. It is the perfect launching pad for an unforgettable safari, where you'll get closer than ever to wild animals in one of the most breathtaking natural landscapes on the planet!

In general, Namibia is a safe country to travel in. As always, you must of course use your common sense when traveling, and among other things, make sure to take good care of your valuables. If you are going to drive around Namibia, you must be prepared for the fact that there are primarily gravel roads. We recommend that you avoid driving after dark, as the roads can be challenging and you can risk wild animals suddenly crossing the road - and trust us, you don't want to get into trouble with a giraffe.
English is the sole official language of Namibia. However, because the country is highly multilingual, the most widely spoken languages are Oshiwambo (spoken by nearly half the population) and Afrikaans (the primary lingua franca). German is also widely used because of the history of the country.
In Namibia, Namibian dollars (NAD) are used, but the South African Rand (ZAR) is also accepted in many places. In most hotels and in larger shops, you can pay by card, but in remote areas cash is needed, just as it is nice to have cash for small purchases, tips and in case a card terminal is down.
Of course! You can combine safaris with activities such as sandboarding on the huge dunes, 4x4 driving through rough terrain, and desert hikes in the Fish River Canyon. If you are going on a self-drive tour in Namibia, it is strongly recommended to rent a 4x4 car, as many roads are gravel roads. In addition to the fact that you can drive on an individual trip yourself, you can also participate in an organized round trip where you drive around the country
For sure! You can experience a unique encounter with traditional people. In addition to the Himba people, you can meet Damara and San people, each of whom has preserved traditions and art forms through generations. Namibia's history as a German colony has also left visible traces in architecture, food, and language, especially in cities like Swakopmund.
