Namibia Family Vacation

Inspirational safari family holiday to Namibia

Avoid the long drives and fly the family to Namibia’s best bits.  Hop between 3 must-see destinations, Sossusvlei, Damaraland and Etosha, by light aircraft, marvelling at the desert and mountain landscapes below. First up, the Namib Desert and a family room at Kulala Desert Lodge. Here, the dunes that are the main attraction.  Photograph them, climb them, run down them or see them from above in a hot air balloon.  Next, at Desert Rhino Camp, the family will get the chance to track, on foot or by vehicle, critically endangered desert-adapted black rhino.

On game drives look for desert-adapted lions; elephants; zebras; spotted hyaenas; giraffes; and antelopes such as oryx and springbok.  More adventure beckons at Anderssons, a camp in the private Ongava Private Game Reserve that borders the Etosha National Park.  See the Big 5, and other wildlife, on day and night game drives and nature walks.  During your 'down' time we suggest that you sit in photographic hides waiting on the wildlife to come to you or do the same from your room or the pool where you can enjoy game sightings from the camp's prolific waterhole.
