Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences

Namibia

Namibia, a country of hauntingly beautiful desert landscapes, combines unforgettable scenery with excellent wildlife viewing and opportunities for cultural exploration. Sparsely populated, it’s a place to get away from it all --just prepare to be dazzled by settings unlike any others in Africa.

Top Namibia Experiences

  • Spotting the big cats -- lions, leopards, cheetahs -- as they approach the waterholes in Etosha National Park, sending zebras and antelope scattering.
  • Focusing your lens on the mammoth red dunes at Sossusvlei, perhaps the most photographed landscape features in all of Africa.
  • Tracking endangered black rhinos and desert-adapted elephants in the presence of a skilled guide.
  • Riding a hot air balloon over the desert to get the full view of the vast deserts below, a rugged patchwork of sands, plains, canyons, and mountains.
  • Encountering San -- with their distinctive clicking language -- and Himba tribal peoples whose ancestors have occupied these lands for millennia.
  • Coming upon ancient rock art depicting antelopes who look as though they could leap out from a nearby ravine today.
  • Visiting the isolated Skeleton Coast National Park to view the Cape fur seal colonies.
  • Drinking in the solitude and silence of a Namibian night while camping under a canopy of stars.
  • Relaxing at a lodge offering wellness treatments such as massage and mud therapy.

Southern Africa Safari
The first 14 days of the trip through South Africa/Zambia/Botswana were amazing. The itinerary was fantastic with game drives and but also a good amount of breaks. The pacing was fantastic. Jesse was the best trip manager I've ever had in 4 Contikis. He always had the greatest stories and knew the answer to every question that I had about the area/animals. His talks were well presented and extremely interested. Sometimes, a 5 min presentation turned into a 30 min conversation due to all the questions we had.

The entire trip was outstanding! The one little thing that needs help is the bud we get through Namibia at the end, was far from comfortable on such long drives

Meeting a herd of desert elephants off the beaten track and having them all to ourselves to watch as the sun went down.

The colours of the sand dunes.

The leader, Riaan was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about a variety of topics and could answer questions and provide information on the subjects that members of the group were interested in. He spotted and named animals and birds before nearly anyone else even saw them. He checked in personally with every group member a couple of times a day, making sure they were each comfortable/happy and had enough water to drink in the heat. When there were optional trips, he acted as taxi driver, making sure each person was on time for each activity, despite this requiring several trips back and forth for him. He arranged and personally cooked two barbeque suppers for the group when he knew the restaurant options were limited.
