If you've ever dreamed of discovering the true face of Africa - this trip is for you: surreal landscapes, breathtaking views of mountainous dunes, rich flora and fauna in their habitat, unique cultures. NAMIBIA electrifies visitors and for a reason it is called the most photogenic place on Earth!
It is difficult to describe the color of hot sand warmed from the sun, you just have to see it. The impressive Skeleton Coast, called by the former Portuguese sailors "the gate to hell", located on the Atlantic with shipwrecks on it. It's no secret that the coast is also a favorite seal place that you can often find there.
People living here regardless of whether they represent the tribe of Bushmen Damara, Herero, Bantu, Hottentots or Himba adhere to the principle that the cheapest and easiest way to improve their image is to smile. You'll also find out how much truth is said that we Europeans have watches and Africans have time.
What awaits you here are unforgettable joint evenings with the greatest sunsets, campfires under a canopy of stars, camps set up in the middle of the wildest corners of the world and the company of animals known so far mainly from National Geographic programs. We will experience the rhythm of communing with wildlife and experience the diversity of nature, meet unknown cultures and tribes.
Now you can get on the road with us and set off to the wilderness of some of the most remote places on African continent. Namibia is a real DESERT QUEEN, ruling its kingdom with the wind that carves the dunes, shapes beaches, rocky peaks and river banks.
Let's go!!
