Namibia luxury safaris
Namibia is the safari for those who want something markedly different. Vast, open, sometimes stark, this is a place of wide horizons, silence, and wildlife that moves to its own rhythm. The country’s low human density means that on many drives you encounter animal tracks, riverbeds and salt pans long before you come across another vehicle.
Here you’ll discover the extraordinary: desert-adapted elephants and lions, black rhino in granite hills, oryx and springbok on orange dunes. The landscape is as much the experience as the animals, from the ripping red dunes of Sossusvlei, the great salt pan of Etosha National Park to the wilderness of the Skeleton Coast.
Safari in Namibia is for travellers who want to slow down, breathe, and feel the land beneath their boots (or tyres) rather than simply tick off the “Big Five”. It suits those who’ve done the mainstream safari and now seek wild space and meaning.
Namibia practical tips
Access & Travel
Most itineraries begin in Windhoek, with easy connections from Johannesburg or Cape Town. From there, light-aircraft flights link the major highlights — Sossusvlei, Damaraland, Etosha, and the Skeleton Coast. Flying maximises your time in the wilderness and offers unforgettable views of Namibia’s desert grandeur.
Accommodation & Guiding
All Diamond Skies Travel journeys in Namibia are fully guided and privately hosted. Expert naturalists accompany travellers throughout, sharing insights into the country’s geology, ecology, and culture. Lodges are striking and sustainable — minimalist sanctuaries of stone and canvas set against vast desert backdrops.
Sustainability
Namibia’s community-based conservation model is one of Africa’s great success stories. Many of our partner lodges directly support local conservancies and anti-poaching initiatives, ensuring your stay contributes to both wildlife protection and community empowerment.
Combining Destinations
Namibia combines effortlessly with Botswana for a desert-to-delta journey, or with Cape Town for a city-and-wilderness blend. It can also be linked to Victoria Falls or the Okavango Delta via private charter.
