A Namibia Desert Safari is a unique and unforgettable experience.  There's extensive conservation areas, extraordinary landscape and an abundance of wildlife.

A wildlife viewing experience on a Safari in the Namibia Desert is very different from that in other parts of Africa.

What makes Namibia so unique is the abundance of large animals such as elephant, rhino, lion and zebra are found in desert environments, and also here the wildlife roam freely and are not restricted to designated reserves.

Namibia's Main Wildlife Reserves

Etosha National Park, the best known, covering 8600 sq. miles (over 22,000 sq. km), is home to about 114 mammal species and 340 bird species.  It is one of the oldest and largest wildlife reserves in Africa. Etosha also offers the best viewing of big game, such as elephant, lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, cheetah and numerous species of antelope, in an arid environment.  Good wildlife viewing is practically guaranteed on a Nambia Desert Safari, for almost all the animals are concentrated around the waterholes along the southern rim of the Etosha Pan, an enormous saline pan.

The Namib-Naukluft Park covering 20,000 square miles (50,000 sq. km.) is the largest wildlife reserve in Africa and one of the five largest in the world.

The Skeleton Coast Park, a narrow area of about 6200 sq. miles (16,000 sq. km) stretching along the Atlantic coast from the Ugab River to the Angolan border.
