Explore Namibia in a group
Namibia is known as the land of vast open plains, red desert, original tribes, unspoiled nature and safari possibilities. The country is no less than 20 times the size of the Netherlands and has only 2.3 million inhabitants. This illustrates how sparsely populated this country is!
This group tour starts in Windhoek. Via the desert and the coast you travel to the iconic Spitzkoppe for a cultural experience. The ‘wild’ experience should of course not be missing, so you should also visit Etosha National Park before heading back to Windhoek where your tour ends.
