Popular camping safaris & tours
Connect with nature on one of our camping Namibia tours. Spend your days exploring the beautiful country, taking in the diverse wildlife, meeting with local people and fully immersing yourself in the culture of Namibia. We offer many camping tours when you get to spend your nights in a dome tent right in the heart of the action to get the very best wildlife experience. On these camping safaris you'll sleep on a roll mat in two-man dome tents amongst Namibia's beautiful scenery, surrounded by the sounds of the wild.
Comfort camping and lodge safari tours
Our comfort camping and lodge safaris are ideal for the over 40s and we welcome families with children aged 10 and above. On our comfort camping safaris you can sit back and relax as your experienced three-person crew sets up camp, prepares your meals and cleans up, so you don't need to lift a finger. In addition, you’ll enjoy the comfort of sleeping on a camp bed rather than a roll mat and benefit from at least three nights in a hotel, including the first and last night of the tour. Our Lodge safari tours give you the comfort of staying in a 3-4 star lodge with en suite facilities, perfect for those looking for a little extra comfort.
Accommodated tours & safaris
If camping isn’t your thing, we also offer accommodated tours. These tours have you spending most nights in quaint accommodation. Perfect for those who want to experience the joys of a wildlife safari but still want some of the home comforts that can’t be found in a tent.

What do I need to pack for my camping safari package to Namibia?
If you travel on one of our camping trips, we recommend you read our guide to overland camping safaris before your holiday. You can also see a detailed packing list in the Trip Notes for each tour, which we suggest you read before you travel! Some of the important items to remember are: sleeping bag, travel pillow, towel, Mosquito spray (with active DEET ingredient), your own personal first aid kit, torch, antibacterial wipes, a photocopy of your passport data, and your Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate. Please note that on our comfort camping safaris, camp bed, mattress, sleeping bag and pillow are provided.
What is the local payment for on your safaris?
The local payment is a cost per person that needs to be paid in US Dollars cash only. It is this payment that in part covers the park fees and other inclusions such as meals as detailed on each tour page. The local payment also covers your arrival transfer and first night’s accommodation. Our comfort camping safaris also have a small local payment, to be paid in South African rand or USD (check each tour for details) at the start of your trip. Please note that due to exchange rate fluctuations in the US dollar, the local payment amount may be subject to changes. This payment will be collected by your tour leader at the Welcome Meeting on day 1 of your escorted tour.

Is Namibia a safe destination for travelers from the LGBTQ+ community?
According to the 2023 LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index, Namibia scores a D rating for LGBTQ+ traveller safety, ranking 97th out of 203 countries. Although same sex marriage is not legal, there are legal protections for workers based on their sexual orientation, and 26 – 50% of consulted citizens consider Namibia a good place to live for gay and lesbian people. There are legal punishments for same sex relations but in 2021 discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community became illegal in some contexts. LGBTQ+ travelers to Namibia generally do not encounter any problems. The LGBTQ+ Travel Safety Index is designed to provide a good overall picture of attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community in each country and may not reflect the experience of foreign travelers to the country.
Is the tap water safe to drink in Namibia?
Travelers are sometimes surprised to hear that the tap water in Namibia is generally considered safe to drink, particularly in larger towns and cities. However, it can be heavily chlorinated, which can cause bad taste and stomach upsets so it is generally recommended to drink filtered and bottled water where possible on our Namibia safari tours. However, the tap water should be fine for activities such as brushing your teeth.
As a solo traveler will I have to pay more for my Namibia package?
On our overland camping trips (excluding comfort camping), solo travelers will be matched up with another solo traveler of the same sex, with whom they will share a tent. If there is no other solo traveler of the same sex on the tour, you will have a tent to yourself at no extra cost. On our Handpicked lodge safaris, a single supplement applies for solo travelers. The cost of this can be seen on the tour page for each trip.
