Why Namibia?

With only 2.4 million people spread across a vast landscape twice the size of California, Namibia offers a sense of peaceful isolation that is truly remarkable. This serene seclusion makes a luxury experience in Namibia so uniquely captivating.

Experiences

Experience otherworldly landscapes, surreal vistas and activities that are strikingly unique on the African continent.

Soaring above the desert dunes, which shift from red to orange to caramel and meet the white-capped Atlantic waves, is a breathtaking scenic flight experience. Namibia’s extreme climate is home to unique desert-adapted wildlife such as elephants, zebras, giraffes, and lions, while the coast is teeming with thousands of coastal birds and marine life. 

For a deeper connection with the country’s history, you can engage with the last remaining hunter-gatherer societies, the San, or experience the semi-nomadic lifestyle of the Himba tribe in the remote northwest.

To fully appreciate Namibia’s vast landscapes, take a hot air balloon ride over the sand dunes and salt pans, spotting ostriches and springbok below. A visit to the eerie Skeleton Coast, with its centuries-old shipwrecks and the world’s largest colony of Cape fur seals, offers a hauntingly beautiful adventure. The uninhabited landscapes beyond are equally captivating, with the chance to spot elusive lions or desert elephants.
