Namibia, Chobe and Victoria Falls

£1,645.00

A classic Namibia loop that covers the big landscapes without rushing: Windhoek as the launch pad, red Kalahari dunes for your first desert night, then the Namib’s headline scenery at Sossusvlei and Sesriem. From there it is Swakopmund’s coastal reset, Damaraland’s raw geology and ancient rock art at Twyfelfontein, and Etosha’s waterhole-driven wildlife before a final pause at Waterberg’s plateau country, then back to Windhoek.
