Trip at a Glance

Small Groups: Never more than 10-16 travelers—guaranteed!

An endless sea of towering red dunes … ancient landscapes framed against an ink-black sky … water holes that beckon rare black rhinos and some of Africa’s most magnificent wildlife. This is Namibia—a place unlike anywhere else on Earth. Join OAT to discover the land and people of Namibia, one of the world’s last unspoiled wilderness destinations. Our small group will travel deep into the ancient Namib Desert—a vast and barren landscape where desert elephants and nomadic oryx dwell. Beyond the desert, we’ll take you to towns dating back to Africa’s colonial era where you might still spot a woman wearing a Victorian-era hoop skirt—and into a Himba settlement where the people wear little more than red ochre body paint. We’ll visit the Skeleton Coast, where the bones of whales wash up along its mist-shrouded shores. And we’ll enjoy safari game-viewing drives at Etosha, where Africa’s most elusive and magnificent wildlife can be seen. Namibia is all this, and much more …
