Namibia Family Road Trip
An extensive self-drive through scenic Namibia, this family vacation is for adventurous, outdoorsy families who love the freedom of the open road. Whilst the journey may be long, hot, and dusty, the lodges will be refreshing and luxurious stops along the way. At Kulala Desert Lodge at Sossusvlei, explore some of the world’s highest sand dunes on guided drives, quad bike, on foot or see them from above in a hot air balloon. At Swakopmund try out sandboarding with the kids and delight in the antics of Cape Fur Seals.
Then journey to Damaraland. See the desert-adapted wildlife such as gemsbok, springbok and even elephant on nature drives and guided walks. Visit the ancient San rock art at Twyfelfontein, and the incredible geological phenomena such as the Petrified Forest, which is millions of years old. More wildlife encounters await at both the private Ongava Game Reserve, bordering Etosha National Park and the Okonjima Natura Reserve. See the Big 5 and plenty of other wildlife on day and night game drives and nature walks.
