Namibia is one of the most unique and lesser known safari destinations of Africa. Whilst the Namib desert and famous sand dunes are frequently visited by travellers from across the globe, there are a multitude of incredible experiences in Namibia that provide ample reason to plan a trip solely to this destination, or combine it with your visit to other destinations in Southern Africa.
Namibia is also famous for self drive safaris due to the good road system and relatively small size of the country, self drive and 4x4 enthusiasts have a deep affinity for the sceninc dunes and drives that Namibia offers to those that grace their shores. Short stay fly in safaris are also an option for those that are simply looking for a taste of the destination or are limited on time.
- Hot air ballooning over the Namib desert
- Sossusvlei sand dune exploration
- Quad biking in the namib desert
- Whales, seals and dolphins off the coast
Namibia is a great year-round destination, but the best game viewing, especially in the Etosha National Park, is from May to October whenthe weather is clear and dry and wildlife flock to watering holes. From November to April, some days will be humid and rain may follow, often in afternoon thunderstorms. It can be trickier to see animals as they tend to scatter then and not congregate around watering holes.
Traveller tip: Make sure you have adequate sun protection, even in the winter months. So pack a hat and lots of sunblock!
With its location right next to the international airport, Windhoek is a friendly, safe and clean capital city to set up base. Windhoek has a range of high-end hotels, boutique hotels, and small lodges to check-in to before starting out on a Namibia adventure.
Must see: The National Museum of Namibia and St. Mary’s Catholic Church which is still active

Outstanding Experience! (Cape Town, Sabi Sands, Vic Falls)
After attempting to book this trip myself (a couple coming from the US), I gave up and reached out to Sara from Safari.com. I told Sara what I was thinking and by the next day she had created several wonderful itineraries! Based on her suggestions, we personalized the itineraries and within 7 days I was booked and all set!! Sara was available at all times (before, during, and after the trip). We are currently heading home and we are so happy with all the bookings Sara created for us! Everything went flawlessly. Her 3rd parties for tours and transfers were perfect (always early, professional, knowledgeable, and kind). The hotel acknowledged our anniversary thanks to Sara. We stayed at the Victoria & Alfred hotel in Cape Town, then off to Dulini Moya in Sabi Sands, and finally Victoria Falls Island Treehouse in Zimbabwe. I highly recommend all of them. Tell Sara what you envision your experience to be and your budget and she will make it happen!! Her knowledge was so helpful in assisting us to choose the perfect itinerary. It was comforting that she kept in touch while we were traveling throughout Africa. I feel so lucky to have had Sara arrange this trip and will certainly request her expertise again in the future!! You won’t have to worry about anything because she is on top of it all. Do not hesitate!! Book with Sara from Safari.com!
