Itinerary Inspiration for Your Namibia Trip
What to Do During Your Namibia Trip?
1. Etosha National Park
To the Ovambo tribe, Etosha translates aptly to mean “great white place.” Visit the salt pans and be moved by desiccated crater-like soil. Visible from space, the pans host a plume cloud of pink flamingos in the wet season. The park is perfect for an authentic Namibia safari drive, where you can witness the arresting presence of staunch black rhinoceros kicking up dust as they move between dwarf shrubs on this cratered land.
2. Walvis Bay
Trucking the port town of Walvis Bay in a 4×4 towards the celestial lagoon of Sandwich Harbor is an experience you won’t soon forget. Sightseeing boat tours of the bay area bring passengers within touching distance of playful dolphins, seals, and diving cormorants. Look back at the jagged Namib Desert coastline as it clashes with the waves of the Atlantic Ocean in awe.
3. Fish River Canyon
The world’s second-largest canyon is a striking wilderness terrain of rock and cliffside vistas. A multi-day hike presents you with the chance to explore this natural wonder from several elevations, with Hell’s Bend offering up the debate of being the perfect spot to sit and marvel. A night spent under a starry skyline streaked crimson by sunset is a moment to cherish here. Travel to Namibia for this canyon alone and you’ll have a once-in-a-lifetime memory.
4. Sossusvlei
Sossusvlei is home to some of the highest dunes in the world. Within the hot confines of this desert ecosystem, coppered sunrises, and stubborn plants will have you snapping away with your camera for hours. Ink-black trees on a bleached-out land cast striking shadows across clay pans. An essential part of any Namibia vacation is a hot air balloon ride capping off a wonderful day in Sossusvlei.
5. Caprivi Strip
The Caprivi Strip extends 450 miles to the borders of Zambia and Zimbabwe with major rivers such as Linyanti and Chobe flowing through sparsely populated village communities such as the Lizauli. This largely untouched region of Namibia boasts thrilling views, fertile lands, a cultural art center, and plunging waters known as Popa Falls. Less
