Guided Safaris
Does self-drive sound like too much of an effort? A guided safari is your next best option. Small-group safaris are very popular in Namibia.
The Fish River Canyon
Need a rest from your safari in Namibia? Treat yourself on a spa day at the foot of the world’s second-deepest canyon. Here you can relax at a hot mineral spring. If you’re looking for more luxury, many lodges in Namibia have a spa facility.
Peace and quiet

Rich history
The Namib desert is considered to be the oldest desert in the world, but that’s not the only thing that’s old in Namibia. For some history whilst your safari, you visit one of the oldest Bushmen rock art sites in the world.
Desert-adapted wildlife
Namibia is home to the Big Five but you can find lots of other animals in Namibia that have adapted to the dry desert such as the Oryx (gemsbok)
Count the stars
Namibia is one of the best stargazing destinations in the world, perfect for a romantic night sleeping underneath the stars. Snuggle up with your loved one after a long safari day and see who counts the most falling stars.
