Namibia’s magical beauty and huge virgin landscapes makes it one spacious paradise. Stunning wildlife, spectacular natural beauty, bustling towns, food safari and gourmet meals, deep history and bespoke retreats. Namibia has the power to capture your heart, enticing you with its ancient landscapes, the deafening silence of the illumination of its horizons.

 

See it drenched in gold when the sun’s last rays retire to make way for ta night sky glittering with thousands of stars. It’s no wonder that more than half of all visitors return again and again to this fascinating destination. Namibia means “Vast Land,” and that is exactly what it is but also a kaleidoscope of land contrasts. With only 2.5 million people it is the second least densely populated country in the world after Mongolia. It is sometimes surreal to travel mile after mile and not see anyone or even pass another car on long stretches of very well-maintained roads. Endless space itself is an allure of luxury with blue skies and lots of sunshine.

​

Sharing the largest and oldest rippling sand dunes in the world with Namib, Sossusvlei and the Kalahari deserts that all blaze red in the setting sun. The tourism board always seems to promote Namibia as a desert locale, but it is so, so much more than that!

There is the famous skeleton forest in a dried lakebed and there is even a skeleton coast –literally scattered with skeletons of old ship-wreaks where the dunes and treacherous reefs of the ocean meet. But what surpassed my expectations was that there was so much diversity of landscapes; in a five-hour drive you would be offered five totally different landscapes.

​

• Situated in Central Namibia, the cosmopolitan city of Windhoek serves as the capital of the country. It is home to an international airport and a plethora of restaurants, shops, entertainment venues and accommodation options. The city is clean, safe and well-organized, with a colonial legacy that is reflected in its many German eateries and shops, and the widespread use of the German language.

• The Erongo Mountain Range stretches across the plains between the towns of Omaruru and Karibib, and is home to a remarkably rich natural heritage with its spectacularly scenic landscapes, magnificent caves and rock painting sites, and its impressive array of wildlife. We will be hiking, rock climbing, games drives, horse riding safaris and mountain biking at Ai Aiba Rock Painting Lodge.
