Namibia Safari Tours
Namibia safari means desert and coast in one unique and wonderful trip. Enjoy Etosha National Park drives, floodlit waterhole watching, Skeleton Coast shipwreck, Walvis Bay dolphin cruise, and Sandwich Harbour dunes. Namibia differs from East Africa, with its desert landscapes, German influence, and fewer animals but stunning scenery. Namibia is definitely one for photographers, with dunes, dead trees, shipwrecks, and massive empty landscapes.

10 Days Beauty of Namibia | Private Guided LodgeWe had a wonderful time during our trip through Namibia with Across Africa Tours & Travel and can highly recommend! We are a couple from Germany, used to good hotels but also spend a lot of time in the mountains hiking and staying over in Alpine lodges. We normally also like to travel and explore a new country and culture on our own - but due to workload we did not have time to acquaint ourselves with Namibia before the trip so we've opted for a small group, organized trip. We found the offer short notice (3 days prior to departure) on Tourradar, booked on a Sunday - and received confirmation straight Monday morning! :) @Across Africa Tours & Travel: thanks for making this possible! Contact prior to the trip was very friendly, and questions were answered quickly. The trip in lodges and campsites was well organized. Car, drive, campsites, lodges, tent and equipment were all very nice, comfy and in good shape. We are minor neat freaks - but just bring a liner and your gear, and all is fine. Our trip went from Windhoek to Sossusvlei / Solitaire, Swakopmund and area, to Etosha and back to Windhoek. It was planned to arrive back in Windhoek late afternoon / early evening and we had no stress making our departure flight at 7:30 pm. We had a great time with our guide/driver, Shawn! Many thanks for the wonderful trip - we can truly recommend!! Due to the short-noticed booking we ended up travelling just the two of us, and Shawn did the best to cater to our needs and was very flexible. As far as possible, requests on alterations to the route (i.e. spending more time somewhere, taking out a stop but therefore adding another one on the route etc.) where done. His recommendations on additional activities and possible alterations where all worth while - of course, it's up to you to choose, but utilize your guide's connections where possible. For example, we very much enjoyed: - Hot-air balloon ride in Swakopmund (wanted to do this for years so took the chance. Hot-Air Ballooning Namibia was very safe, friendly, well organized, punctual for agreed pick-up etc.) - Jeep safari to Sandwich Harbour near Swakopmund (not cheap but very recommendable! done by Sandwich Dune Tours) - Open air jeep for safari in Etosha (contact through Shawn) - Recommendations on restaurants We also liked the BBQs, grocery shopping etc. - all added to the occasion. And in our conversations we also learned more about Namibia than if we had just travelled by ourselves. To us, it was a special trip to remember. It was only too short, but that's down to our availability. So we definitely want to come back and would book with Tourradar and Across Africa Tours & Travel again at any time!
Sossusvlei, Swakopmund and Etosha National Park 7 Days / 6 Nights (Camping)My 10 Days Northern Namibia, Damaraland, Coast & Sossusvlei Camping Safari was one of my best trips ever, without a doubt. Everything went smoothly, nothing to add. Since the beggining of the trip (and I booked just 10 days before the start of the trip), the manager of the company was very professional and fast to answer all my questions. I never did much camping before, so I was a bit anxious on this part, but all things went so well! Our guide was such a nice guy (and cooked so well...), that these 10 days felt like a few hours. From my picking up the airport, the transport, the food, the camping, such a nice trip overall. Even though there are always unpredictable things, all was solved and I can honestly complement Blue Crane for their professionalism and a great trip! I will miss Namibia. Hopefully I can return again soon.

What our customers ask about Namibia Safari Tours
How many days should I plan for a comprehensive Namibia safari experience?
A 10-14 day trip provides enough time to see Namibia's main safari areas. This timeframe lets travelers spend time at Etosha National Park (2-3 days) see the dunes of Sossusvlei (2 days) explore Swakopmund (2 days) and visit places like Damaraland and the Skeleton Coast. A TourRadar traveler advised: "Our 14-day tour gave us enough time to really appreciate each location without feeling rushed."
What are the best months to visit Namibia for wildlife viewing during a safari?
The dry winter months from May to October offer the best wildlife viewing especially in Etosha National Park. During this time animals gather at waterholes making them easier to spot. While the Namib Desert and Sossusvlei are accessible year-round the coolest temperatures for dune climbing and photography occur from June to August in the early morning. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The wildlife viewing in Etosha during July was incredible - we saw countless elephants lions and rhinos gathering at the waterholes."
What types of accommodation can I expect on a Namibia safari tour?
Namibia's accommodations range from basic to luxurious with options for every budget. Visitors can stay at places like the Etosha Safari Lodge near the national park Desert Quiver Camp close to Sossusvlei or Hakusembe River Lodge on the Okavango River. Most properties offer essential amenities such as pools dining areas and observation points for wildlife viewing. According to TourRadar travelers reviews: "The mix of accommodation was perfect - from comfortable lodges in Etosha to the authentic tented camps in Damaraland where we could hear wildlife at night."
What are the must-see highlights on a Namibia safari tour?
Key experiences include watching wildlife in Etosha National Park walking the red dunes of Sossusvlei at dawn seeing desert-adapted elephants in Damaraland's rugged terrain and spending time in the coastal town of Swakopmund. The Caprivi Strip's waterways also offer good wildlife spotting opportunities. As noted by a TourRadar traveler: "The combination of desert landscapes at Sossusvlei and abundant wildlife in Etosha made for an unforgettable safari experience."
How much driving is involved on a Namibia safari tour?
Travel times in Namibia can be significant given the country's size. Common routes take 4-5 hours from Windhoek to Sossusvlei (364km) 4 hours from Swakopmund to Etosha (491km) and 3-4 hours between major parks. The drives include stops for wildlife viewing and photos. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The drives were long but comfortable in the safari vehicles with plenty of stops for wildlife viewing and photography."
Are Namibia safaris suitable for families with children?
Namibia welcomes families on safari with most tours open to children aged 5-6 and older. Family-friendly options include stays at Okaukuejo Rest Camp in Etosha and Desert Quiver Camp near Sossusvlei. Companies like Safari World Tours create special family itineraries with appropriate vehicles and schedules. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our kids loved watching elephants at the Okaukuejo waterhole and climbing the dunes at Sossusvlei."
