Travel to Namibia and discover one of the most sparsely populated countries on earth. Crossing the border from South Africa, you’ll travel along Namibia's beautiful coastline, to sand dunes, moonscapes and savanna grasslands teeming with wildlife. Namibia is a country of contrasts and a paradise for wilderness lovers! Scale dunes, walk through the desert, savour local dishes, and relax on seldom-visited beaches. Soak up African sunsets, birdwatch, go on game drives through Etosha National Park and do it all with a local leader armed with all the fascinating insights.
Highlights
- Dine in Lambert's Bay in an open-air restaurant, Muisbosskerm. National Geographic rated this amazing spot as having one of the 'Top Ten Sea Views to Dine For'.
- Spend a full day exploring Cape Town. With its world-renowned beaches, vibrant communities, and nearby winelands, it's the perfect blend of natural beauty and urban zest.
- Go birdwatching in Fish River Canyon and watch the African sunset that makes this place so much more than just one of the world's largest gorges.
- Enjoy plenty of time for seaside leisure in Swakopmund, amid the dramatic breakers of the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe visit the local markets or chill out on the beach.
- Etosha National Park is one of the best places in the world for wildlife spotting, and you'll enjoy a full day of game drives here, both in closed trucks and open-air 4WDs.

I certainly feel that I have discovered the landscapes and peoples of Namibia on this amazing trip. Admore was a brilliant leader and Abel was a fantastic driver - negotiating Namibia’s roads requires skill.. The variety of activities and landscapes meant that each day was different,. The lodges were excellent and the food was abundant and tasty.

This trip is an awesome combination of nature, culture and activities, in a truly unique destination. It offers the iconic must-do's like the Dune 45 in Sossusvlei as well as some not yet discovered experiences like the Fish River Canyon and the chill, coastal vibe of Swakopmund. I came away with a much deeper understanding of the culture having visited some of the tribal people (Himba, Damara) along the way, as well as an exhilarating game drive in Etosha (including a rare cheetah sighting). The amazing dream team of our leader/guide (Spha) and driver (Goodman) significantly enhanced my experience on this trip - I don't say this lightly having travelled to 70+ countries in the past. I came back home with some special memories that will endure for a while. I don't understand the low ratings of this trip... if you read the essential trip information, you will have an amazing experience. Namibia is a destination that requires getting off-the-beaten path to get the most out of it and Intrepid does it really well.

Namibia is a truly undiscovered treasure. My fellow travelers and I were fortunate to learn about the customs and traditions of this vastly explored land, often brought to life by our engaging and thoughtful guide and driver who made the (be forewarned) long bus rides both interesting and even enjoyable.

If you are looking for and abundance of wildlife, culture and adventure in Africa then look no further. This trip is truly exciting and memorable for all of the right reasons. Namibia is beautiful and welcoming and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Our (family) of Sandile and Dumis, went out of their way from the ‘get go’ to make this a truly magical and memorable experience. Would highly recommend topping and tailing with some time in Cape Town before and after your trip. We travelled in October which was very hot but quieter than at peak season. If you prefer it cooler, go earlier but it will be busier. We saw an abundance of birds, wildlife, culture and flowers throughout our trip and the history and terrain of the country is equally fascinating.

I am leaving Nambia with a feeling of complete fulfillment and gratitude. The itinerary was comprehensive and well paced - I will be eternally grateful to Intrepid, Bonnie, and Siya for a truky remarkable experience. I can't wait to get home and make all my friends jealous - and then recruit them for my next Intrepid adventure! Cheers!

An absolutely fabulous trip! Whilst the roads were frequently bumpy and the journeys often long, the rewards were more than worth it. The accommodation was amazing and there were plenty of food options. Pack less than you think- you really don’t need much.
08/31/2023
Had a fantastic experience travelling through Namibia. Accommodation and food was of a very high standard. Roads were bumpy at times but never unmanageable in Chris the driver's capable hands! Tour leader Nathi was also excellent, and Intrepid continues to deliver great trips wherever I've travelled with them.
08/25/2023
There were very long days with corrugated roads but the accommodation and experiences more than made up for it. Highly recommended but it’s definitely not for the faint hearted.
10/28/2023
It's been 4 months but I still reflect on this incredible experience: the animals, the landscapes, but above all, the people you meet on the way. Namibia was unlike anywhere else, and I recommend everyone go at least once. The vistas in particular are unforgettable: at times it felt like we were walking on the moon.
06/11/2023
Namibia is exquisite. Yes there are long driving days but I didn't mind, there were always interesting things to look at and various stops and opportunities to see daily life in remote areas. This was my first comfort tour so a bit more expensive but it was almost all inclusive, lovely lodges, activities and meals.
06/09/2023
There is a vastness in Namibia which is mesmerising, though this means that there are often long travel days over extremely corrugated roads. While there are not as many animals to be seen as in Botswana, the thrill of discovery is just as high. I absolutely loved it. Excellent driver, super leader and a fantastic group -what more could you want? Comfort level is definitely worth it. Excellent accommodation and food.
03/01/2023
Great trip-you will experience such wonderful sights as you travel through this beautiful part of the world-stunning.
02/11/2023
This was an exceptionally good tour. It is not for the faint hearted as the drives are long and can be tiring, . However the rewards are many. The wild and desolate scenery is truly magnificent and breathtaking. The quality of the accommodation , often in very remote places was of a really high standard. The trips informative and interesting. A wonderful trip. 5 * from me.

Namibia is not at all what you expect, the countryside constantly changes on your adventures. One minute you can see where the giants have played with rocks like marbles and the next you are viewing a Martian landscape. It is a must to add to your travel wish list.
09/22/2022
This was a very varied tour. I wasn’t sure if I’d like a trip that was safari every day, so I chose this (also because I love desert landscapes). This was perfect: something new every day and a taste of safari (turns out 2 days is enough for me). Dune 45 and Dead Vlei were astonishing. Driver Abel went above and beyond! The hotels were surprisingly good, as was the food, although not much choice sometimes) and hard for those with food restrictions).
09/23/2022
The itineraries for the Namibia and Botswana trips my wife and I took were very good. We saw a lot of great places and had a lot of very special experiences. The Etosha National Park game drives and river cruise were the best wildlife experiences I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot. The only negative in these trips is that there was a lot of driving in a vehicle that was not as good as it could have been. With a better van, that includes better suspension and air-conditioning, these trips will be close to perfect.
08/06/2022
A good trip with an excellent tour leader. Some disorganisation from intrepid that resulted in a wasted day and missed hotel stay. Overall worthwhile and enjoyable.
07/31/2024
The trip to Namibia was excellent. We lived the life in Namibia personally. Swaokupmund and Etosha park, the dessert, plane tour over the dessert were my favorites. Also walking in the canyons and seeing the ancient cravings were very good. The team leader was excellent with much enthusiasm. He answered all our questions. The driver was very good and friendly. There was a good team feeling.
07/11/2024
This was a trip of a lifetime! Tshepo was a wonderful guide, and our driver Mr. Chris handled the tricky roads very well. The itinerary is accurate and I left with so many special memories. Namibia is honestly just as you picture it to be. The accommodations were beautiful and food was tasty and plentiful even for a vegetarian.
05/31/2024
It's a very good Tour to get an overview over the whole country in just about two weeks. Even the long drives where interesting, due to changing landscapes and multiple stops on the road. The Food was very good and even as vegetarians we found lots of different and delicious things. We will always remember Shadrack, our driver, and his funny and lovely character.
