Travel beyond the limits of imagination



Travel westwards from Victoria Falls, into Botswana and beyond, gliding in a mokoro through the waters of the Caprivi Strip, with its abundant game and birdlife. Enjoy boat cruises and fish for tiger fish at the confluence of the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers. Heading south from here, deep into Namibia, discover large herds of blue wildebeest, zebra, springbok and oryx on the move through Etosha National Park, where one water hole provides game viewing for many hours. Search for noisy colonies of playful Cape Cross seals and adventure into the dunes, canyons and jagged mountain peaks of the Skeleton Coast, with its many shipwrecks. Namibia is a vast and beautiful country.

The rugged tranquility and breathtaking mountain landscapes of Kaokoland, with its Himba settlements and lush oases, enchant all travellers who venture here. Unique desert adapted wildlife, including elephants and the last free ranging black rhino on earth, inhabit the desert wilderness of Damaraland. Race down the dunes on a quid bike or sandboard outside Swakopmund and enjoy afternoon tea and cakes on one of the town’s quaint cafés. Like Swakompund, the windswept fishing village of Luderitz further south boasts ornate German architecture in a beautiful but stark desert landscape. Deeper in the reaches of the desert, marvel at spectacular Fish River Canyon, the second largest in the world.

Far from the coastal sand dunes, in the heart of Namibia, the rugged mountains of the Namib-Naukluft Park astound and amaze with plummeting ravines, rock pools and desert adapted wildlife.
Soar above the dunes at Sossusvlei, said to be the world’s highest, in a hot air balloon or explore the carved rock walls of the Sesriem Canyon.
