Namibia offers unique safari circuits combining spectacular deserts and authentic wildlife observation. 2-week trips allow you to cover the classic triangle: the giant dunes of Sossusvlei, the fauna of Etosha and the wild Atlantic coast. Our private circuits adapt to family pace, while small group trips foster exchanges among nature enthusiasts. Each package benefits from the expertise of an English-speaking local guide to decipher these territories with fragile ecosystems.

Frequently asked questions

How long to spend in Namibia?

2 weeks minimum to cover the essential sites: Sossusvlei, Etosha and the coast. 3 weeks allow you to add Damaraland and Himba cultural encounters.

The best time for a Namibia tour is during the dry season, from May to September. During these months, wildlife congregates around water sources, making game viewing exceptional. Temperatures are mild, and rainfall is minimal, ideal for exploring the dunes of the Namib Desert and the wildlife-rich Etosha National Park. If you prefer milder temperatures and occasional wildlife sightings, the shoulder seasons (April and October) are also pleasant options.

May to October offers pleasant temperatures and wildlife concentrated around water sources. Avoid December to February (very hot, rainy season).

What budget should I plan for a family trip to Namibia?

Count 3000-4000€ per person for 2 weeks in family lodges. Children often benefit from discounts. Budget for activities and scenic flights.
