Departure on 22/03/2025 from Dublin
Explore the unparalleled landscapes of this unfamiliar land, one of the least populated countries in the world
In Africa, that eternal unknown, there are a plethora of unique destinations. Touring Namibia by car allows you to taste one of the most extraordinary countries of this continent, where you will experience starry skies seldom matched elsewhere in the world, where you be awestruck among the highest red dunes of the planet of the Namib Desert, where you will admire the Twyfelfontein rock engravings and gloomy boats stranded in the mist of the Skeleton Coast... But, above all, where you will discover for yourself that nature, at its most immense and bountiful, deserves the greatest respect. Unforgettable safaris will allow you to see magnificent specimens of wildlife that appear painted by a highly skilled artist: zebras and leopards, antelopes and lions, elephants and seals, rhinos and impalas, monkeys and flamingos... Havens which call for global protection to maintain this natural wonder, so that Earth's most incredible fauna is encountered far beyond the pages of books. We propose a route for you that prioritises national parks and reserves between adventure-evoking sand tracks, complete with the urbanism of Windhoek and Swakopmund and their strong German colonial vestige. Cities that have struggled to create their own signs of identity, those that will open your mind to a culture that is as distinct as it is fascinating. Get behind the wheel and enjoy! And, just imagine, you could come face-to-face with a herd of animals at any time... But that obstacle would be more luck than a hindrance. It would be Africa. Because Namibia is all about adventure.

Important remarks
- Please check with your international vaccination centre about the recommended healthcare measures in Namibia.
- Passengers travelling with minor children must carry a copy of their birth certificate, translated into English. In the event that minors travel with only one of their parents, they must also carry an authorisation, which has been signed before a notary or validated by the police of the country of origin, from the other parent.
- Triple rooms in Africa are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
- Keep in mind that many paths are roads of dirt and sand, and very few of them are asphalt, which requires drivers to go slowly and carefully. It will undoubtedly take you more time to cover the route than your GPS indicates.
- Be careful with exceeding speed limits, since heavy fines are imposed.
- We recommend a full tank before undertaking long routes because stations are few and far between in some areas.
- Choosing an all-terrain vehicle is recommended.
