Namibia is probably one of the most diverse safari experiences you can have in Africa. This country is not all about looking for lions and elephants as there is so much more then those classic African safari experiences. You can have these here but explore further and you will have an incredible experience, like the safari I have just completed. We enjoyed the massive and ancient sand dunes of the Namib desert, then went looking for the incredibly adapted creatures that have made the skeleton coast and it's dunes their home in a place that seems so desolate nothing could exist. We were also in kayaks paddling among a colony of Cape Fur Seals and even had Heaveside's Dolphins playing alongside us plus a very unusual experience of a Humpback Whale coming up among the kayaks!! No one will forget that. We then went walking through the extraordinarily beautiful Damaraland and each night we slept out on beautiful star-bed platforms to enjoy the vast and clear African Skies. From there we went right up to the Kunene River on the border with Angola to enjoy this beautiful river in an otherwise very dry area and home to the very proud and traditional living Himba People, it was certainly not a living museum experience as it is obvious all around, that this is genuinely how people live and dress here. We then explored right from West to East of the vast Etosha National Park and Ongava Reserves to end our safari with great game viewing of all your classic African Animals and here they are in big volume! An incredible adventure that is like no other in Africa.
