Tour
Description
|
Northern and Western
Namibia is often known as the "the Land God made in Anger"! It contains some of
the starkest and harshest environments known to man, and some of Africa's most
unique wildlife sanctuaries, coupled with a captivating beauty and a sense of
solitude and reality that is rarely experienced in today's
world.
The routing includes
Sossusvlei, one of the most photographed vistas in Namibia, as well as the
Etosha National Park, Caprivi floodplains, and Waterberg Plateau, as well as
the exciting adventure capital of Swakopmund.
This tour captures this entrancing experience, and allows you
to encounter the "Land God made in Anger" in the luxury of comfortable
accommodation and air-conditioned vehicles - a far cry from the pampered
security of your armchair at home.
