Embark on an epic 11-day journey to Namibia, home to the Big Daddy of sand dunes, desert landscapes alive with oryx, bat-eared foxes, zebras, lizards and more, pristine beaches that line the coast, and game reserves where rhinos flourish. A Bushman desert walk, behind the scenes visit to a wildlife sanctuary, ATV rides and more enable up close unforgettable discoveries. Pack your Tauck-provided rolling duffel bag for this ultimate 20-guest small group safari that flies you from place to place on small Cessna planes. From the desert, dunes and the Dead Vlei to a vast coastal wonderland and Walvis Bay where wildlife play to private reserves and a national park teeming with game animals, you'll discover the essence of Namibia in experiences that are in-depth, up-close and as unique as the country itself. Venture into different environs with expert guides at home wherever you travel and meet the Himba tribe, who live off the land. Learn about the wildlife that thrives here, the stars that own the night sky and conservation efforts underway to keep Namibia as pristine and protected as nature intended. And best of all, have fun along the way.What's Included
