Namibia even the name evokes images of the exotic. It is a country of intense beauty and is as famous for landscapes as the Serengeti is for its wildlife! This Namibia tour is dedicated to the landscapes that make Namibia so unique and is timed for end of rain season when the land is at its most colourful, dramatic skies most likely and locations uncrowded or empty.
What You Can Expect Weather Wise | March is end of summer with hot sunny days that range from 25 °C to 35 °C+ (77-95F). It is also end of rain season most of which arrives in the form of localized, afternoon thunderstorms. And it's these storms that can potentially produce skies second to none and make the rainy season the best time to visit for dramatic colourful imagery.
Level of Fitness | Easy to Moderate | Most locations are easy walking unless you wish to tackle the dunes. There is a 20 minute hike into Deadvlei over soft sand but it is mostly level with a short sandy uphill at the end.
Accommodation | A combination of comfortable 3* guest houses and 4* lodges strategically located for optimal photographic opportunities
Group Size | in 3 – max 6 participants (non-photographer travel partners are welcome). We keep our groups small for personalized attention and not to overcrowd locations
You Will Have Special Photography Permits For Sunrise Entry To Ghost Town, Unique Permission For Evening Sky Deadvlei Shoot (Sossusvlei). And an Outstanding 2 Day Location That Is Not Currently Available On Any Other Photo Tour

We are able to offer such competitive prices as we are the tour operator here and don’t need a ground handler to facilitate this tour. Many international led photo tours are substantially more expensive as they need local assistance to organize accommodation, drive vehicles, local guides etc.
We’re fortunate with 7 years of Namibia photo tour experience we can do this independently and offer you a better deal. Also Namibia was part of South Africa until its independence in 1990 and as such still today the Namibian dollar is fixed to South African Rand.
