A brilliant desert safari experience

An almost unique safari experience with a myriad of desert dwelling species

Namibia offers visitors a truly unique wildlife experience, with an astonishing array of mammals found throughout the vast desert that covers much of the country.

Almost all visitors will gravitate towards spending a few days in the iconic Etosha National Park in the north of the country, where rhino, elephant, lion and leopard are the headline species. As well as traditional guide safaris, guests visiting the park can self-drive through the park, which adds to the sense of adventure that safaris bring.

Further west, the deserts of Damaraland are home to desert-adapted rhino and elephant, with some amazing experiences to be had approaching these fascinating creatures on foot in the company of expert local guides.

Seemingly everywhere one travels through the country, sightings of smaller desert wildlife, notably springbok, oryx and ostrich, are commonplace and a delightful way to break up long journeys.

Visitors to the fabled Skeleton Coast are treated to some incredible elephant and giraffe sightings, as well as having the opportunity to spend time with desert wildlife researchers, which is a rare experience. Very fortunate visitors to the area may even see animals such as lions and brown hyenas on the beach, as well as elephants frolicking in the surf – a once-in-a-lifetime sighting if you are lucky enough to come across it. Swakopmund and the nearby town of Walvis Bay are outstanding areas for birding and there is also the chance to learn about smaller desert wildlife on the unique “living desert” tours that are operated from the town.

For visitors looking to enjoy a more “traditional” southern African safari experience, the beautiful Caprivi Strip offers riverine terrain, more large animals such as buffalo, as well as wild dog – more akin to neighbouring Botswana than the rest of Namibia, but a wonderful experience nonetheless.

Our Namibia specialist, Ruth, says:

“I’ve been lucky enough to travel all over Namibia, and it’s a country that never fails to surprise me. The landscapes are like nowhere else - vast, cinematic and constantly changing - and the sense of space is incredible. It’s also one of the easiest and safest countries in Africa to explore independently, which makes it perfect for a self-drive or a tailor-made adventure. Whether you’re watching rhinos at a waterhole, climbing a dune at sunrise or sleeping under a sky full of stars, Namibia just gets under your skin in the best possible way.”

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. It was good value for the level of luxury we had.

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps was ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

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!)!
