Namibia Family Safari with Victoria Falls
230kb
Namibia is a land of contrasts and extremes. From incredible sand dunes to sandy deserts, from semi-arid terrain to the beautiful Skeleton Coast, and from one of the greatest wildlife reserves on the continent to arguably the most famous waterfal in the world.
Driving from Windhoek to Sesriem, we explore the bewitching sand dune sea - unlike anything most of us have ever seen! In Swakopmund, Namibia's adventure centre, we have the option to participate in an adrenalin-rush activity or simply relax and absorb the unique culture of this seaside holiday town. Etosha National Park offers very special wildlife viewing experiences in Namibia's harsh environment. From here we head to the Caprivi Strip and spend a couple of days in the splendid riverine surroundings on the banks of the Kavango River. Our final stop is Livingstone, in Zambia, where we visit spectacular Victoria Falls - a fitting finale to this awesome safari.
This specially designed family tour comprehensively showcases the incredible beauty and diversity of Namibia and Victoria Falls, at a very relaxed pace.
