The country of Namibia is often referred to as “Africa for beginners”, as it is a safe, politically stable and friendly place to travel to, where almost everyone speaks English and the cuisine and culture and traditions aren’t too strange for most visitors. However, this makes Namibia sound a bit boring…it definitely isn’t!
It is a country full of surprises around every corner. While the old-fashioned way of seeing this wonderful country is by vehicle (it is one of the best countries on earth for a road trip), we have found an even better way of experiencing all that Namibia has to offer. You will still see everything that you would in the traditional way, but on this safari you will get much closer to the fauna and flora, have more fun and get fitter in the process!
This 8-day adventure safari is perfect for those that want to see the fantastic country of Namibia in a slightly different way. Not only will you get the opportunity to ride an electric bicycle or fatbike in the Namib desert, you will also hike in the desert, do some sandboarding or quad-biking in the dunes, and maybe even kitesurfing or kayaking in the Atlantic!
You will also enjoy some fantastic cuisine, meet many friendly locals, see some incredible scenery and wildlife, take some incredible photographs and create memories that will last a lifetime. Get ready for an amazing Namibia adventure!
