While Namibia’s scenic charms and extraordinary wildlife are well known, the country also boasts a fascinating and multi-layered cultural side. Our Namibia trips for UK solo travellers give you rewarding insights into the cultural heritage and traditions of this West African gem.

Escorted tours to Namibia for singles allow you to explore coastal towns like Swakopmund. A laid-back resort town born of German rule at the end of the nineteenth century, its colonial past is reflected in its architecture and cuisine. Some Namibia tours offer township tours in Swakopmund suburb of Mondesa, where you can meet and learn about the different cultures that dwell there, including Owambo, Damara and Herero.

Singles tours in Namibia also feature visits to so-called Living Museums – special villages dedicated to showcasing the centuries-old traditions of Namibia’s indigenous cultures through traditional dances, dress, food and crafts. Learning about the way of life of these local people and how they interact and live in harmony with their environment is a truly unique experience.

As you head into the plains of Damaraland on solo tours in Namibia, you will find the deep roots of human culture in these parts reflected in the rock paintings and engravings of the Twyfelfontein area. Depicting animals, humans and fantastic creatures, the engravings are attributed to San Bushmen who lived here over 2,000 years ago.
