Modern Windhoek with its greenery and European architecture may be the starting point for a Namibia holiday, but much of this country is arid. In the Namib Desert, the vast red sand dunes of the Sossusvlei salt and clay pan are mesmerizing in the twilight, especially in the winter months which are considered best time to travel to Namibia. But don’t be fooled into thinking this is an empty place. Gemsbok, a large desert-adapted antelope, will spring out of nowhere. Would you believe that even in this harsh environment some 3,500 species of plants and animals survive?
In the west, this red-orange sand dramatically meets the Atlantic Ocean. Catamarans cruise around Walvis Bay to spy on dolphins, seals, and pelicans. Barely an hour north, at Cape Cross on the Skeleton Coast, an enormous breeding colony of Cape fur seals basks in the warm sunshine.
The ancient rock art of Damaraland speaks of the long history of humans in this region. Further north is the open bush of Namibia’s Etosha National Park. Watch for agile springboks prancing through the grasslands and deserts, track rhinos on foot, or go on night safaris with expert guides. Long days of driving through Etosha culminate at a bush camp near a watering hole, where you can sit back, relax, and watch a steady stream of animals coming in for a drink.

We have travelled to three different countries with the assistance of Enchanting Travels, most recently to Namibia. Each experience has been positive. Namibia was wonderful to visit and our trip was enhanced with the help and coordination of Danielle and Meghan (and undoubtedly so many others who are behind the scene). Our itinerary was individualized and catered to what we value and request. Our trip coordinator, Meghan, is so professional, prompt, and very invested in us having a wonderful experience. The in country guides and excursion companies Enchanting Travels has connected us with have been top notch. The new Trip Agent app which details the trip itinerary is fabulous! We highly recommend Enchanting Travels and are already working with Danielle to plan a trip to Egypt!

We had an incredible experience with Enchanting Travels! We worked with both Alison, our travel consultant, and Cyprian, our trip coordinator. Alison did a fantastic job in catering our itinerary to meet all of our requests, and we had a wonderful trip to Namibia, Victoria Falls, Okavango Delta, and Chobe National Park. Alison and Cyprian were a wealth of knowledge and provided recommendations and insights that helped make our trip magical. We felt reassured knowing we had assistance every step of the way and they made sure our travels between 3 countries were seamless and easy. All of our hotels and lodges far exceeded expectations. They helped us take a trip of a lifetime!

“Safaris in Namibia and Botswana – Enchanting Travels provided sound recommendations on our travel itinerary, accommodations and activities. Our family was not familiar with either Namibia or Botswana but found the safari lodges and other accommodations to be good value, in some stunning locations. A good mix of luxury and bush experience. Activities were all well run, interesting but safe. Safari guides were motivated and competent.”

Our trip co-ordinator made everything easier. Airport connections that without her would have been missed, luggage that was found! and happily bubbly encouragement from Catherine made our lifetime trip amazing! Booking yourself might save a dollar however Catherine’s extensive knowledge and attention to detail gave us the best guides, and premium service.
