Namibia - Delta, Dunes & Falls (18 days)
Namibia is one of the great surprises of southern Africa, boasting some of the most spectacular and breathtaking desert scenery on earth. The great sand dunes of the Namib Desert, which rear over 300 metres above the desert floor, are a sight never to be forgotten. When one adds some of the world's most weird and wonderful vegetation, the wild Atlantic coast and the famous rock etchings of Twyfelfontein, it all results in a destination of unparalleled diversity. And as no visit to Africa is complete without viewing wildlife, the famous Etosha National Park provides the perfect opportunity to encounter a great array of animal and bird life, the equal of any in Africa.
When you combine all of this with a visit to an area containing arguably the most amazing wetlands in the world, namely the wonderful Okavango Delta in neighbouring Botswana, the result is an expedition of extraordinary diversity. The Okavango boasts delightful water-based scenery, often in total contrast to the dry and arid lands which surround it, along with some quite exceptional birding - you don't have to be an enthusiast to be soon enthralled - and the opportunity to see much of the wildlife which Africa is so justifiably famous for.
To complete this magical safari we travel to Livingstone in Zambia. From our lodge, perfectly positioned on the banks of the Zambezi River, we visit spectacular Victoria Falls or 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' as it is locally known, meaning 'The Smoke That Thunders'. 

Sometimes the going on this trip is quite tough, the distances covered fairly large and some of the roads and tracks are not exactly smooth, or free from dust, but the rewards are exceptional. We endeavour to make things as comfortable as possible, by travelling in a custom-built safari vehicle with large windows for exceptional game viewing and staying in local guesthouses, lodges and hotels.
