Share:

Introduction

4 Mar 2024 - 18 Mar 2024

This tour is aimed at naturalists and photographers who are interested in biodiversity. Our specialized guides are all-round naturalists and greatly enthusiastic about all fauna and flora. They are likely to point out plants, mammals, reptiles and insects as we go along. The tour is ideal for wildlife, macro, bird, starscape and landscape photography.

Namibia has one of the world’s oldest deserts boasting the highest sand dunes and some of the most fascinating fauna and flora on the planet.

The country has five biomes with different characteristics and habitats that provide suitable environments to approximately 250 reptilian species, of which 95 species are endemic; 676 bird species; and 250 mammal species, of which 14 are endemic.

This tour will cover a range of habitats to give us the best chances of finding as many species as possible. Nightwalks are a vital part of this tour to tick off as many nocturnal species as possible. You can look forward to clean and comfortable accommodation, delicious, wholesome food and friendly people.
