FAQs

  • Marrakesh: What does a modular trip mean? A modular trip means fellow travellers will join and leave at various locations. There’ll be some goodbyes, sure, but there’ll also be plenty of hellos with new like-minded travellers.

Included Experience

  • Windhoek: We’ll take a scenic drive through Namibia’s capital, uncovering the city’s top landmarks – from the striking Christuskirche and the Independence Memorial Museum to the grand Parliament Building and its peaceful gardens.
  • Etosha National Park: Experience life in an African bushman village, as the local people give you a snapshot of their desert lifestyle.
  • Spitzkoppe: We'll stop off in Spitzkoppe for a bite to eat and a chance to check out the granite peaks that stand out across the glorious desert landscape. Group pic by the famous 'Rock Arch', anyone?
  • Sossusvlei: Explore Sossusvlei, snap shots of Deadvlei and wander around Big Daddy sand dune

This trip was incredible! The activities available ranged from climbing red sand dunes and star gazing in the desert, to getting up close to giraffes, zebras, and lions on safari and kayaking with seals jumping up onto the boat. Our guide Often did an amazing job of showing us the highlights of Namibia. Long stretches on the road but the view of the beautiful and changing landscape along the way made it all so worth it! Would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to explore the path less travelled and immerse themselves into Namibian culture. Very easy booking process!
