From tracking leopards at Okonjima to coming face-to-trunk with desert-adapted elephants in Damaraland, this family adventure was all about connecting with nature.
“The elephant walked right up to our jeep – it was SO exciting!” – Kate
Etosha National Park delivered its usual magic, with sightings of giraffe, zebra, black rhino, and more. “
At one waterhole, we counted 19 giraffe – watching them drink is hilarious!” – Stella
Stella’s favourite moment was kayaking with hundreds of playful Cape Fur Seals at Pelican Point.
“They flipped, splashed, booped our paddles and leapt over the kayak!”
For Mark, it was the eerie beauty of Dead Vlei.
“It felt like another planet – just us, the dunes, and those haunting trees.”
And the cherry on top? Sandboarding near Swakopmund, turning nerves into exhilaration.
“Terrifying at first... but so worth it!” – Stella
Mushara and Okonjima topped the list for quality and care – even the vegetarian dishes earned high praise. Buffets at larger lodges were less exciting, but there was always something tasty. Stella was adventurous enough to try springbok kebab – and loved it!
“We absolutely loved our trip to Namibia. The landscapes are so varied and mindblowing, the wildlife is incredible, the history and culture are fascinating, and the people are so friendly and welcoming. Namibia Tours & Safaris were brilliant throughout - from the well-equipped 4x4 and preloaded GPS to the wildlife book we used every day. Special thanks to Andrea and Kaylee for being so responsive and helpful. Thank you for an unforgettable holiday!”
