Photo Tour Namibia –
The Ultimate Experience
17-day photo tour along the highlights of Namibia
May 4th through May 20th, 2024
Namibia is a country where you will travel from one highlight to the next. You will undoubtedly be filled with wonder. Namibia is located between the Kalahari desert and the Atlantic Ocean and one of the youngest countries in Africa. The diverse cultures, the spectacular landscape and its wildlife are a dream for every photographer. This 17 day photography tour takes us through the most beautiful areas – Ultimate Namibia!
Forty-two percent of Namibia's land is under the oversight of highly successful wildlife management. Most countries in Africa have declining numbers of endangered species, Namibia has growing numbers. Even outside its national parks.
But Namibia is above all a country with very diverse landscapes, from beautiful red sand dunes and extremely dry and rocky areas to the wildlife parks with drinking wells for a diverse selection of animals. Inbetween this strange but beautiful nature you will suddenly find a German colonial town, a bustling harbor or a beautiful lodge, something that gives the trip an even more special touch
During this trip we travel with a maximum of 6 participants in a 10-seater 4×4 all-terrain vehicle. In this way, every participant has a spacious seat at the large sliding windows. The car is driven by a so-called "expert guide" from one of the best safari operators in Namibia, so we will use local knowledge and experience during the trip.
