Namibia Central Highlands Safaris

Rolling hills, private reserves and conservation travel

Some of Namibia's highlights such as the Erongo Mountains, an Okonjima tour, and the Waterberg National Park, are here.

The Central Highlands form a scenic and ecologically important region between Windhoek and Etosha, offering a gentle transition from city to safari. With their undulating landscapes, acacia woodlands and granite outcrops, these hills are home to several private reserves that combine wildlife, conservation and community in a way that’s become a hallmark of Namibian travel.

One of the best-known areas here is the Okonjima Nature Reserve, home of the AfriCat Foundation. It’s a fantastic introduction to Namibia’s conservation story, with opportunities to learn about efforts to protect cheetahs, leopards and other carnivores through research and education. Guided nature drives and walking safaris offer the chance to spot a range of wildlife, including rhino, giraffe, and pangolin.

This region is ideal for a first or final stop on a broader Namibian itinerary. It breaks up longer drives between Windhoek and Etosha, while offering high-quality lodges, excellent guiding and rewarding wildlife experiences. The Central Highlands may not be as dramatic as the dunes or the desert, but they’re full of quiet charm - and play a vital role in connecting the dots between Namibia’s wilderness areas.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
