Our specialist says:

An off the beaten track adventure through some of the more remote areas of Namibia

This trip is perfect for second-time visitors to Namibia looking to enjoy another perspective on the country, as well as for first-timers who don’t have wildlife as a focus for their trip. This is very much a landscape and activity-orientated journey.

Starting with a night in Windhoek before heading south to the Western Kalahari Desert and exploring this beautiful desert wilderness. Then on to the breathtaking Fish River Canyon, the second largest river canyon in the world and a wonderful place for exploring, hiking and biking. A scenic drive takes you up to the quaint outpost of Aus, where feral desert horses can be found roaming freely. Aus is the ideal staging post for heading to Kolmanskop, the old abandoned diamond mining town and one of the most photographed places in Namibia. The final stop will be a couple of nights in the beautiful Wolwedans Nature Reserve, a Dark Sky reserve and a wonderful spot to round off any adventure.

The perfect choice if you are looking to focus on Namibia's dramatic landscapes, wide open spaces and interesting history as opposed to the wildlife found further north, this trip is fantastic for second-timers and can be easily combined with some time in the north to create an all-encompassing adventure through this incredible desert country.
