This holiday to Namibia in September 2027 is the ultimate safari, and undeniably one of our favourites. Ideal for couples, a group of friends and solo travellers, this small group safari uses one large group vehicle driven by a knowledgeable guide. Simply watch the world go by, this is Africa TV at its best!
This destination is a vast country where sand dunes disappear into the ocean, wildlife graze in the shimmer of mirages and where there is a wilderness waiting for you to explore. Visit the oldest desert in the world, the Namib Desert, see the highest sand dunes in the world at Sossusvlei and travel though the world famous Etosha National Park.
Naturally the wildlife is extraordinary so be prepared to spot lion, elephant, cheetah, giraffe and a host of colourful birds. Sit by a waterhole and let the wildlife come to you.
Be inspired by the vistas and return with too many photos!

Okaukuejo Rest Camp - see Etosha at night
Etosha, meaning “Great White Place”, is dominated by a massive mineral pan. The pan is part of the Kalahari Basin, the floor of which was formed around 1000 million years ago. The Etosha Pan covers around 25% of the National Park. Enjoy an array of wildlife at the Okaukuejo waterhole. At night the waterhole is floodlit but the light doesn’t penetrate into the surrouding bush. It creates something of a stage, focusing the attention on the animals that come to drink.
Accommodation: the bush chalets are a few minutes’ walk away from the famous waterhole of Etosha. Each bush chalet has a braai area outside. The rooms are tastefully decorated and well thought out with lovely en-suite facilities.
Days 11 - 12
