There are many beautiful countries in Africa, but none are like Namibia.
Today we will travel from the highest sand dunes in the world to the wildest coast on the planet. We will track the last free-roaming herd of rhinos on the continent, and watch desert elephants as we float above them in a hot air balloon.
But more than anything we will discover a sense of vastness and awe that is unmatched by almost anywhere else on Earth.
Taking us there is safari guide and author Peter Allison, who has been guiding in Namibia and elsewhere in Africa for nearly 30 years. He’ll tell us the story of his ultimate Namibia safari, traveling from the Sossusvlei Dunes to the Skeleton Coast. It’s an adventure filled with rare wildlife, inspiring people and more than one of his crazy stories.
Get ready for a journey into the heart of the remote, and enchanting land of Namibia.
Highlights include:
Taking a hot air balloon ride watching the sun rise over the Sossusvlei dunes
Tracking rare desert elephants and the last remaining free-roaming rhino in the world
Spending time with the Himba people of the Hoanib Valley
Exploring the Skeleton Coast, where the Atlantic ocean crashes against the Namib desert
Sleeping under the stars in one of the largest Dark Sky Reserves in the world
