This is an excellent part of Namibia, and we try to see it all during this safari. The accommodation is per person sharing, so a single supplement rate will be applicable when travelling independently.
The northern part of Namibia is the ‘Outback' of Namibia. Therefore, this safari is perfect for the seasoned traveller who enjoys wildlife, culture, and Namibia's desert landscapes.
It most certainly emphasizes one of the last remaining nomadic tribes in Southern Africa. The combination of the North with Damaraland and the Skeleton coast shows even more of Namibia's Diversity. Even more, have we added an extension via the adventure capital of Swakopmund to the Namib desert. The route is, as a result, a combination of Namibia's best in the North.
We have selected a range of similarly 2-3 star lodges on the route, and these lodge accommodations are subject to availability. Therefore, we will book a similar standard of accommodation when our preferred lodges are not available.
We have 3 levels of budget: namely camping, mid-range lodge and luxury lodge self-drive. Our recommended lodges are mentioned in the itinerary below.
The Northern Namibia Safari will undoubtedly take you on the roads less travelled. It is, as a result, an escape into the arid desert regions of Namibia. It is not uncommon to find local people living still in a traditional way. The endless landscapes and open skies allow for an off the beaten track safari experience. Therefore, this Northern Namibia safari is a real escape into the wild safari experience.
