Namibia is a vast country with great distances between destinations. In one week, it's possible to see the highlights of the deserts and national parks and go on a safari. However, two weeks is the right amount of time to drive to the main attractions and avoid spending too many hours in a vehicle. In three weeks, you can take a road trip around the country, go on multiday hikes, and venture into neighboring Botswana.
Namibia is a vast country with a wide variety of desert and coastal landscapes, and with five days in the country, you can get a taste of its highlights. Most tours start in the Germanic capital, Windhoek, from where you can embark on a self or private guided tour. Be amazed by vast red dunes, ancient canyons, abundant wildlife and birds, eerie shipwrecks along the coast, and European-like cities.
In a week, you can enjoy a range of wildlife-spotting highlights in Namibia's deserts and canyons, plains and watering holes, and coast and wetlands. Between safaris, you'll explore some of the world's largest dunes at Sossusvlei, ancient tree carcasses of the Deadvlei, and shipwrecks along the foggy Skeleton Coast. There's even time to combine a visit with neighboring South Africa on a well-planned itinerary starting in Cape Town.
10 days is a great amount of time to explore the best of Namibia's extreme, otherworldly landscapes and the giraffes, rhinos, and elephants that call it home. The salt pans and rolling dunes of Sossusvlei, the ancient rock engravings of Damaraland, and the abundance of wildlife in Etosha National Park are not to be missed. Indulge in luxury lodgings in the Namib Desert, or go off-grid with a trip to the spectacular yet elusive Kaokoveld and a hike up Waterberg Mountain.
With two weeks in Namibia, you can visit famous National Parks and desert landscapes on a classic highlights tour. Or, opt for an off-the-beaten-path itinerary complete with a camping trip through Kunene's wilderness and game drives in Etosha National Park. For those who cherish their creature comforts, a luxury safari itinerary brings you on guided game drives deep in NamibRand Nature Reserve and Etosha National Park while an African road trip checks off Namibia, Botswana, and Victoria Falls.
