A utopia of vast terrain and brimming with wildlife, our Namibia tours are perfect for adventure and discovery.
With a large Atlantic coast that crosses the Tropic of Capricorn, our Namibia tours include many national parks which are host to hundreds of species of animals, birds and plants - perfect for wildlife viewing.
The coastal city of Swakopmund has lots to offer in terms of adrenaline-fuelled activities as its landscape - wild and rugged. The dunes are ideal for sandboarding and quad biking, as well as the town being a great place to skydive and see dolphins.
The city itself is great for shopping and has delicious local cuisine to try. The dunes soon turn to mountains as you venture through to Spitzkoppe to see the mighty granite monoliths and strange rock formations.
Our Namibia tours also give you a chance to meet and integrate with the socially dynamic Himba tribe, well known for their semi-nomadic pastoral lifestyle.
The Himba population is estimated at about 50,000, and they're famous for their practice of applying otjize, a red paste made of ochre which symbolises the richness of the earth and life essence.
If you're a lover of wildlife, there are few better places than Etosha National Park to see a great variety of amazing creatures in their natural habitat.
Our Namibia tours take you by the waterholes and natural springs of the park, which are ideal to catch a glimpse of zebras, impala, wildebeest, cheetahs and elephants.

How you plan your trip to Namibia depends on a few factors, such as your budget, how long you plan on staying in the country, and your interests. However if you book your Namibia tour through us at Encounters Travel you won’t have to do much planning – most, if not all, our Namibia tour itineraries covers the country extensively.
How much you spend on a meal depends entirely on the type of food you have in mind and where exactly you plan on eating, for instance, are you planning to eat street food or fine dining? However an average meal in Namibia should cost around N$39 per person.
Breakfast prices are usually a little cheaper than lunch or dinner.
Namibia is, for the most part, a safe country to visit. However it does have crime - much like most other countries around the world.
Crime is somewhat of a serious issue in Namibia's capital, Windhoek, and some other areas through the country.
Incidents such as muggings and bag snatching happen frequently, especially in areas frequented by foreigners.
Yes, some vaccines are required for travellers going to Namibia. The CDC and WHO recommend the following vaccinations: hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid, yellow fever, rabies, meningitis, polio, measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis), chickenpox, shingles, pneumonia and influenza.
Many standard Namibia tour itineraries are no longer than 10 or 14 days, but that doesn’t also mean you can’t stay longer if you want to!
The best time to visit Namibia is from July to October, when the temperatures are just above 20°C and there’s little to no chance of rain.
This is also the best time for wildlife viewing, making it peak travel season so you will need to plan well in advance.
Amazing tour. Any issues we had were addressed in a timely fashion and the resolutions were satisfactory. My only complaint is the driver picking us up was late and none of the cell numbers worked when we tried to call and figure out what to do.
My contact with Encounters representative was a pleasure, she answered my questions promptly, provided a quotation and changed it quickly when different flights were preferred. Both by e-mail and phone the response was very timely.
The trip was excellent and very well run, we have no complaints it was exactly as we expected.The guide was knowledgable and courteous, it ran on time and accommodation was fine.We have no complaints and have now booked again to go to India.
The trip was as above and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, all destinations were as expected and lived up to our expectations.We went with the idea of visiting Turkey and especially Gallipoli which achieved our goals.The historical part of thetrip was very well done and memmorable.
Encounters Travel did an excellent job in all aspects of our trip! Egypt was amazing and the trip was made especially enjoyable as a result of the quality of the guides. I highly recommend Encounters Travel!
Worth every penny! Go to Egypt with Encounters Travel!
Everything about the trip was thought through, fine-tuned , and marvelous. From Ant Horribin helping us arrange the trip, to rep Waled Ali, and our guide Big Mo, we could not have asked for a better team. Our sincere thanks to them.

Namibia, officially the Republic of Namibia, is a country located in Southern Africa. The Atlantic Ocean is along the western border, and the country also borders with Angola and Zambia to the north, Botswana to the east and South Africa to the south and east.
In 1990, Namibia gained independence from South Africa, following the Namibian War of Independence. The capital and largest city in Namibia is Windhoek. Kenya is a member state of the United Nations, the African Union and the Commonwealth of Nations.
This country is the driest in Sub-Saharan Africa and was inhabited by the San, Damara and Nama groups. Namibia is a multi-party parliamentary democracy. The expansive Namib Desert means that Namibia is one of the least densely populated countries in the world. It also has the least rainfall of any country in sub-Saharan Africa.
The landscape of Namibia features five varied geographical areas, including the Namib, the Bushveld, the Kalahari Desert, and the Great Escarpment. The coastal desert of Namibia is one of the oldest deserts in the world. The sand dunes are created by the strong onshore winds and are the highest in the world.
As Namibia is the driest country in sub-Saharan Africa, the country depends on groundwater. There are more than 10,000 boreholes scattered across the country. Tourism is a major contributor to Namibia's GDP. The country is a popular destination in Africa and is renowned for its ecotourism, which encompasses Namibia's vast wildlife.
Our video features aim to bring our adventure tours to life in a way that no photo can, giving you a great taste of the destination.
