Roaring Dunes and Soaring Skies

This safari brings together the roaring, soaring sand dunes, the thundering Atlantic Ocean and the endless skies of the Namib Desert. At first glance seemingly barren, Namibia’s oceans and deserts are teeming with unique flora and fauna, superbly adapted to their surroundings. The combination of activities focuses on Namibia’s extreme environments: dune walking, quad-biking, and rhino tracking in the desert. Kayaking at Walvis Bay Lagoon, amongst the pink flamingoes and white pelicans, is a must-do adventure. One of the most secluded camps on the African continent, Serra Cafema offers the opportunity for interaction with the Himba – truly nomadic people who exemplify the rarely-seen indigenous Africa.
