TOP LOCATIONS
Located in northern Namibia, Etosha National Park is one of Africa’s most unique and breathtaking wildlife destinations. Home to 114 mammal species and over 340 bird species, the park offers exceptional sightings of elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, wildebeest, giraffes, hyenas, zebras, springbok, kudu, gemsbok, and eland.
What sets Etosha apart is its vast, shimmering Etosha Pan, a massive salt pan so large it can be seen from space. This stark yet stunning landscape provides a dramatic backdrop for wildlife photography, with animals often seen against its striking white expanse.
Scattered throughout the park, numerous waterholes serve as vital lifelines, especially during the dry season. With the open terrain offering little cover, many animals have adapted to drink during the heat of the day when predators are less active, creating incredible opportunities for game viewing.
Whether you're drawn by the abundant wildlife or the surreal beauty of the pan itself, Etosha National Park is an unforgettable safari destination unlike any other.
SWAKOPMUND
Known for its laid back feel along the Skeleton coast, with palm trees, sandy beaches, good restaurants and gift shops, makes this town the perfect stop over between Etosha and Sossusvlei. Established by German colonists in 1892, with German Colonial Architecture, a small part of the population is still German-speaking. Here, where the Desert meets the Ocean, you can relax or join one of the many adventurous activities from quad biking, fat wheel biking, ocean safaris, dune boarding, surfing, hot-air ballooning or scenic flights.
The Skeleton Coast got its name from the whale and seal bones found on shore from the past whaling industry, although in more recent years, received the name from sailors who feared sailing the coast due to the epic winds and unpredictable changing sandbanks that resulted in a number of shipwrecks, of which some of the oldest can still be seen today. Although it may sound like an area with an eerie past, it is indeed an area diverse and full of animal life. The coast itself is inhabited by hundreds of thousands of Cape Fur Seals, of which the largest colony, call Cape Cross their breeding ground.
DAMARALAND
Damaraland is known for its scenic and fascinating beauty and it’s also where you will find the free-roaming Desert Adapted Elephant. This is my absolute favourite location in Namibia, characterized by dramatic landscapes featuring ancient volcanic mountains, deep canyons, expansive plains, and rocky desert terrain. The region's rugged beauty and vast open spaces make it a paradise for landscape photographers and adventurers.
Here you can also visit Twyfelfontein, a World heritage site comprising of ancient rock engravings, Organ pipes, Burnt Mountains and a Petrified Forest. It is also the most famous rock art concentration in Africa featuring more than 5000 petroglyphs and 200 rock paintings. Driving through Damaraland is not only soul-fulfilling because of the landscapes, but you get to meet the Himba and Damara and see how they live off this land.
SOSSUSVLEI
Surrounded by the iconic rolling sand dunes of the Namib Desert, Sossusvlei is one of Namibia’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Located within the Namib-Naukluft National Park, one of Africa’s largest conservation areas, this stunning white salt pan is framed by towering red dunes that have become a symbol of Namibia’s wild beauty. These monstrous dunes, sculpted by the wind over millions of years, are among the tallest in the world, reaching up to 400 meters. Their ever-changing shapes and shadows create an almost mystical atmosphere, where the whispers of the wind seem to dance along the dunes’ crescent ridges.
Despite its extreme aridity and soaring summer temperatures, Sossusvlei is alive with resilient wildlife. From oryx and springbok to reptiles, insects, and birds, life here has adapted in remarkable ways to survive the harsh desert conditions. A visit to Namibia is simply not complete without witnessing this otherworldly landscape, where time, wind, and sand have created one of the most mesmerizing sights on Earth.
