Isolation, and solitude, perfect for looking for wildlife.

Bogged boats, huge population of sea lions, a place unique in the world, amazing proximity between sea and dessert...

Absolute great experience. A lot of wildlife there, despite the dry area. Desert adapted lion and elephants are there. And lots of Flamingos and Seals at the coast. Like to drive in the dry river bed of Hoanib.

The ocean is harsh and beautiful here—watch out for fog!

The cape seal colony is an incredible sight!

Wind swept and an excellent feeling of remoteness

In November of 2013 I joined a small group of travelers that toured Nambia with Overseas Adventure Travel. We flew to Johannesburg, South Africa and stayed overnight and then flew to Windhoek, Namibia. After spending a couple of nights in the Capital of Namibia we flew on to Sossusvlei in the Namib desert and stayed at a beautiful lodge where we went on game watching trips and saw many Oryx, gazelles, jackles, eagles, and ostrich. Sundowners in the desert were unique and wonderful. We then went to Sossusvlei and climbed some of the huge pink sand dunes that the region is famous for. We then flew to Walvis Bay and Swakopmund. A cruise of Walvis Bay is not to be missed. They have oyster farms there and they were served with Champagne on the half shell. Giant white pelicans came in for feeding as well as two or three large cape fur seals. Dolphins and whales were also swam near our boat. Swakopmund was an interesting place with many German and Dutch descendants from the colonial days when
Read more the country was known as Southwest Africa. We drove to The Cape Cross Seal Colony on the Skeleton Coast were huge numbers of seals could be seen birthing their pups. Many still had their placentas attached! We then flew to Damaraland to see Desert Elephants and other wildlife unique to that very arid land. The lodge again was remarkable and comfortable. A visit to the local boarding school was enjoyable. We then flew to Etosha national Park which is the size of Swizerland!. The lodge had a watering hole outside the fence and a wide range of wildlife came in to drink. Black Rhinos came in at night. White rhinos are also in the park. Game walks were included with rifle armed guides to protect against prides of lions in the area.
If anybody would like to use OAT they have a online video of the Nambian tour on www.OatTravel.com. I would recommend this country for touring as it is unique in landscape, wildlife and local tribes.
