Personalized Tours in Namibia and South Africa

Taste wines at top Stellenbosch and Franschhoek estates with gourmet pairings, then head north to climb Dune 45 at sunrise and walk through Deadvlei where 900-year-old camelthorn trees stand in a white clay pan. Track rare desert elephants in the Hoanib River Valley with a private guide, check out 2,500 rock engravings at Twyfelfontein UNESCO site, and meet Himba people to learn about their ochre traditions.

This personalized 3-day trip from Johannesburg to Namibia's Skeleton Coast region features guided visits to Sandwich Harbour's ecosystem, home to flamingos, seals, jackals, and springbok. Return regional flights are included along with accommodations in Swakopmund. You'll have off-road desert drives and can add optional activities like quad biking or camel riding along the Atlantic coastline.

You'll create your own itinerary with personalized stops at Deadvlei's ancient camel thorn trees beneath Big Daddy dune, optional meerkat encounters in the Little Karoo, and flexible wine tastings at Warwick Wine Estate in Stellenbosch's Winelands. Customizable safari drives take you through Etosha's 5000-hectare game reserve, and you can choose between hiking or canoeing in Wilderness National Park. Timing your visit between June and December lets you catch whale watching at Hermanus cliffs.
