For anyone who loves wildlife, Namibia is truly a special place. From desert-roaming elephants to coastal seal colonies, from pelicans to parrots, the variety of fauna is stunning by any standard. And with our escorted wildlife holidays in Namibia for small groups from the UK, you get the chance of sighting the species you’ve always wanted to see.

Most small group package tours to Namibia include at least a day or two in the amazing Etosha National Park. On game drives you may spot lions lounging in the grasslands as well as black rhinos, towering giraffes and leopards. There are plenty of viewable waterholes where the congregations of game may include elephants, zebras, ostriches and multiple deer species such as the iconic gemsbok. In the wetter seasons, Etosha’s famously vast salt pan fills with water, attracting flocks of flamingos.

Namibia is also home to the largest cheetah population in the world. Many escorted trips in Namibia for small groups take you to the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Otjiwarongo, where you meet and learn about these beautiful creatures. Other conservation efforts in Namibia focus on the huge population of Cape fur seals that dwell along its coast, which can be viewed as part of special boat excursions.

Keen birders will be pleased to know that Namibia hosts a rich variety of species both on the coast, where pelicans and flamingos can be sighted, and in Etosha National Park, which boasts over 300 species, including raptors, parrots, grebes and hornbills.

For a veritable cornucopia of wildlife experiences, you could consider booking one of our multi-country African wildlife tours, combining Namibia’s zoological attractions with those of Botswana, South Africa, Tanzania and Kenya.
