An 11-day self-drive adventure through desert and dune

Namibia has a way of making you feel small in the best possible way. Four times the size of the UK yet home to just two million people, this is a land of enormous skies, endless horizons and a silence that stays with you long after you've come home. On this 11-day self-drive adventure, you'll trace some of the country's most striking landscapes at your own pace, watching the scenery shift from vast salt pans to ancient mountains to dunes that seem to glow at sunrise.

Wildlife, wilderness and wonder

Your journey takes in Etosha National Park, one of Africa's great wildlife destinations, where you can watch elephant, lion and rhino move across the vast, shimmering salt pans. From there, exclusive private game reserves offer a quieter, more intimate side of the safari experience, rich in wildlife and set against some of the country's most dramatic scenery.

Ancient landscapes, timeless stories

Namibia is often described as an ageless land, and nowhere is that more apparent than in Damaraland, where ancient rock art and a petrified forest of fossilised trees, more than 280 million years old, tell the story of a landscape that has barely changed in millennia.

Where the dunes meet the ocean

The road eventually leads to Swakopmund, on the Atlantic coast, where some of the world's largest sand dunes roll down almost to the water's edge. It's a striking, unforgettable sight, and one of the most photographed stretches of coastline in southern Africa.
