    Arrive In Namibia | Local Market City Tour | Hotel Transfer | Relaxing

    On arrival in Namibia, you will be met on arrival at Windhoek’s Hosea Kutako International Airport by an English-speaking Kubwa Five Safaris guide.

    You'll have a short time to change money before proceeding directly to Windhoek for a short city tour visiting the local craft market (The local market tour depends on the time you fly into Namibia).

    You will then be transferred to your hotel in Windhoek where you will check in and rest off the jet lag.

    Meals and overnight at Windhoek Country Club Resort/ Hilton Hotel Windhoek/ Avani Windhoek.

    Travel To Etosha National Park | Game Drive In Okaukuejo Camp

    Enjoy an early morning wake-up call followed by breakfast before being transferred to Etosha National Park. We will head into the park (via the Galton Gate) and have an evening game drive as we move across the park to reach Okaukuejo camp.

    A packed lunch will be enjoyed along the road. The park is home to 4 of the Big Five (elephant, lion, leopard, and black rhino). Its waterholes support a rich diversity of birds and mammals, including rare species such as black-faced impala, cheetah, and Namibia’s smallest antelope, the Damara dik-dik.

    The park cannot support the large herds of game found in East Africa, but it has a diversity and haunting quality that few parks can
    match. Etosha National Park covers an area of approximately 22270sq km and is home to around 114 mammal species, 340 bird species, 110 reptiles, 16 amphibians, and even a fish.

    Morning And Afternoon Game Drives In Etosha National Park

    After breakfast, you will embark on a morning and afternoon game drive in Etosha National Park, and enjoy its animals and landscapes some more.

    The park cannot support the large herds of game found in East Africa, but it has a diverse and haunting quality that few parks can match. Etosha or “the great white place,” owes its unique landscape to the Etosha Pan, a vast shallow depression of approximately 4800
    sq km.

    A series of waterholes along the southern edge of the pan attract game into this area. While anywhere in Etosha National Park is guaranteed to be a fantastic safari experience, we think you'll particularly enjoy Eastern Etosha National Park.

    It has all the usual Etosha features, from the iconic salt pans to the fantastic wildlife. But its safari trails are less crowded because the camps out here are smaller and more exclusive.

    engravings found in Southern Africa. In 2007 UNESCO declared Twyfelfontein or /Ui-//aes as Namibia's first World Heritage.

    The name Twyfelfontein is Afrikaans for “doubtful fountain” a reference to the small fountain located in the area. The farmer who purchased this land doubted that the fountain could produce enough water to support the variety of games depicted in the

Why should you visit Namibia?

  • Namibia

Namibia is one of those places that quietly blows your mind — vast, wild, and beautifully uncrowded. If you love dramatic landscapes, wildlife, and a sense of real adventure, Namibia delivers in a big way.

From the towering red dunes of Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert to the eerie, photogenic Deadvlei, Namibia looks like another planet. Add the rugged Skeleton Coast, deep Fish River Canyon (Africa’s largest), and endless open horizons — it’s a dream for nature lovers and photographers.

Namibia offers unique desert-adapted wildlife you won’t easily see elsewhere — elephants, lions, rhinos, and giraffes thriving in arid landscapes. Etosha National Park is a standout, with salt pans and waterholes that make game viewing spectacular, especially in the dry season.

Is Namibia safe to visit?

Namibia is one of Africa’s safest and easiest countries for self-drive travel. Excellent road infrastructure, wide-open spaces, and clear signage make road trips incredibly rewarding — think freedom, solitude, and epic scenery at every turn.

If you’re tired of busy destinations, Namibia is refreshingly quiet. Even at famous sights, you’ll often feel like you have the place to yourself — rare and special in today’s travel world.

We offer expertly curated safari experiences in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Namibai.
