Portrait of Namibia
March 15 - 27, 2022
12 Nights
TRIP DESCRIPTION
Namibia’s otherworldly drylands are a desert experience unlike any other: the deafening silence amid the sand dunes might occasionally be punctuated by the footsteps of a dusty elephant; the wild Skeleton Coast is named after the bleached-out skeletons of shipwrecks, whales, and seals; and the nomadic people who have been living in the desert for millennia have learned to thrive in the harsh conditions. This 12-night private fly-around safari is a photography-focused trip that explores all these corners. It’s led by seasoned Namibian guide and passionate photographer who uses his decades of experience to help guests interpret the people, wildlife and landscapes of his home country while capturing it all on camera.
Six singular lodges take guests to distinct ecosystems: they include a big game safari in Etosha National Park, an experience with a nomadic group in Hoanib Skeleton Coast, and a sunrise dune hike in the Sossusvlei clay pan.
PRICING DETAILS
- Double Occupancy Room: $39,420
- Single Occupancy Room: $24,165
