Discover Africa
A desert safari, full of adventure, luxury and the best of the Namibian landscape. The wild Skeleton Coast. Sossusvlei’s ancient dunes. Endless horizons in Damaraland.
Africa's most ancient land
A luxury safari in Namibia is unlike anything else in Africa. Fly over the world's oldest desert in a light aircraft, the sand dunes burning ochre and orange below you. Track desert-adapted black rhino on foot across ancient plains with no other humans for a hundred kilometres in any direction. Fall asleep to total silence in the Hoanib Valley near the Skeleton Coast, where the dunes meet the Atlantic Ocean and shipwrecks rust into the sand.
Namibia is vast, extreme and almost impossibly beautiful. Wilderness runs seven luxury lodges across its most remote regions including the Namib desert, Damaraland, Hoanib and the Skeleton Coast. A single Namibia safari can take you from red dunes to desert wildlife, to the Atlantic coast. This is where the adventure begins.
Every Wilderness safari to Namibia begins as an itinerary and becomes something entirely your own. Browse our most-travelled luxury safari tours and packages, then speak to a Travel Designer to shape your vacation or holiday around your dates, your pace, and the experiences that matter most to you.

Start planning todayFrom the towering dunes of the Namib-Naukluft to the wildlife-rich waterholes of Etosha, Namibia's national parks and conservancies cover some of Africa's most varied landscapes. Combine the remote Skeleton Coast and the Kunene with the rhino country of Damaraland to see the very best of Namibia.
The dunes of Sossusvlei are among the most photographed landscapes on Earth, but photographs do not prepare you for standing at the base of Dune 45, watching the colours change by the minute from amber to deep red to gold as the sun rises. The Namib stretches west from here all the way to the Atlantic: 81,000 square kilometres of plains, salt pans and towering sand mountains.
SossusvleiIf one region defines what makes a Namibian safari extraordinary, it is this. The Skeleton Coast remains one of the most remote and dramatically beautiful coastlines on Earth. One exhilarating drive through the dry Hoanib River Valley brings you to the breathtaking Wilderness Hoanib, the base of your excursion to the Skeleton Coast where desert meets ocean.
Hoanib Skeleton Coast CampFurther inland and just to the North, the Kunene River carves through the Hartmann Valley to the Angola border in an almost alien-looking landscape. The semi-nomadic, Himba people have lived here for centuries, and your guide will introduce you to their world on foot. Serra Cafema, on the banks of the Kunene, is one of the most remote luxury camps on the continent.
My meeting with the Himba peopleDamaraland is ancient Africa at its most raw. Volcanic mountains, petrified forests, rock art etched by the San people 6,000 years ago, and roaming desert-adapted animals. But Damaraland's greatest treasure is its free-roaming black rhino, and our partnership with Save the Rhino Trust gives you the opportunity to track them in their natural habitat.
DamaralandEtosha is Namibia's most celebrated wildlife arena: a vast salt pan visible from space, ringed by waterholes where elephant, lion, cheetah, leopard, giraffe and the extraordinary black-faced impala converge in remarkable numbers during the dry season. This is Namibia's closest equivalent to the classic East African safari experience, and it pairs naturally with the remoter regions to the west.

Seamless connection to remote areas
Some of Namibia's greatest wilderness areas cannot be accessed by road. Therein lies the attraction. A fly-in safari in Namibia means boarding a light aircraft and watching the landscape scroll beneath you in silence: ochre dunes, bone-dry riverbeds, ancient mountains, the thin blue line of the Atlantic. There are no tarmac roads, no tour buses. Just you, the land, and the expertise of your guide.

Plan your honeymoon safaris in NamibiaNamibia has some of the darkest skies on earth. With almost no light pollution, the southern Milky Way is not a smear of light here, it is like a river of stars that you can get lost in. Every Wilderness camp in Namibia offers stargazing activities. At some you can sleep under the open skies on Star Beds, with nothing between you and the universe.
The Ultimate Stargazing Safari: NamibiaThe black rhino was hunted almost to extinction throughout Africa. In Namibia, with the support of Save the Rhino Trust and communities who have chosen conservation over poaching, the population has recovered. There are around 5,000 black rhino left in the world. Coming near face-to-face with one, on foot, in the wild, is one of the most humbling encounters a safari can offer.
Sesriem Canyon, which is close to our camps at Sossusvlei, is a striking natural gorge carved over millions of years by the Tsauchab River. Its narrow passages and towering rock walls offer a cool, shaded contrast to the surrounding desert. Shaped by erosion, the canyon reveals layers of geological history, while short walks here provide a unique perspective of this dramatic landscape.
Twyfelfontein is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its remarkable collection of ancient San rock engravings, depicting animals, humans, and symbolic patterns. Set within a rugged, arid landscape of red rock and open plains, it offers a powerful glimpse into early human life. Excursions from Wilderness Damaraland Camp provide access to this extraordinary cultural and geological landmark.
