FAQs

  • Is Namibia suitable for families icon
    Are Namibia vacations suitable for families?

    Absolutely! Namibia’s vast landscapes are a natural playground for children to run through the dunes and learn about the wildlife of the desert. The country also offers the perfect ‘gentle introduction’ to an African safari.

  • Can I self-drive in Namibia icon
    Can I self-drive in Namibia?

    Self-drive is possible in Namibia but we would not recommend you drive for the entire time as there can be lots of long, arduous journeys. We can arrange a taste of driving in Namibia on a shorter loop, combined with the convenience of domestic flights. Alternatively, travelling around entirely by air offers maximum comfort and saves a lot of time.

This also avoids the need for connecting flights, and is a fabulous way to enjoy aerial sightseeing in Namibia.

  • "Deserts with shipwrecks. Deserts with animals. Deserts with nomadic tribes. Deserts with dunes so colossal you feel completely insignificant."

    Nora - Namibia specialist
Red Savannah's Namibia specialist, Nora Berberich

Nora, our Namibia specialist, has travelled the country extensively—from scaling the towering Sossusvlei dunes at sunrise to observing majestic white rhino in the Etosha National Park. “From the vivid red dunes to the endless night skies, the eerie desolation of the Skeleton Coast and humble beauty of the Himba people, Namibia is a place that delivers a memorable assault on the senses.” To classify Namibia simply as a desert is, for Nora, to do the country a great injustice. “Even the desert has so many layers and nuances. Deserts with shipwrecks. Deserts with animals. Deserts with nomadic tribes. Deserts with dunes so colossal you feel completely insignificant.”

The scale of Namibia goes hand-in-hand with the country’s emptiness, and this is another huge draw of the country for Nora. “Namibia is so vast, and its emptiness has a profound effect on me each time I visit. In two weeks you might see fewer than 40 people. That is something that stays with you. It gives you a sense of place and scale like nowhere else in the world. If you are craving a reprieve from the modern world, Namibia is a place to be truly alone. It is a place to gaze endlessly into the expanse, and find a remarkable sense of peace.”
