Namibia Family Safari Holidays

Whether you are embarking on a self-drive road trip or holidaying with a private guide, Etosha National Park is the place to start if a traditional African safari is what you are looking for. The vast open plains are constantly in motion as the racing stripes of a dazzle of zebras dash by and impalas skip skittishly between the long, pink legs of ostriches. When searching for lion tails wafting above the long golden grass, or the white chest of an African fish eagle (Namibia’s national bird) floating high in the breeze, binoculars are a must so that your youngsters feel like the very greatest explorers. Thanks to the country’s vast size and disproportionately small population, you can wildlife watch without the disturbance of other safari-goers. Stop wherever and whenever you like to take a picture of a wandering wildebeest or a warthog on watch, and find yourself completely alone, making Namibia family safari adventures experiences like no other.

A Namibia family safari includes more than just grassland and watering holes though. The spectacular dunes of Sossusvlei glow in magnificent hues of amber, bronze and sandstone and are an unrivalled setting for a family safari adventure. Thrill-seeking teens can get their adrenaline fix by clambering up vast sand dunes following the tiny tracks of Namibian critters, only to hop on a sandboard and race to the bottom, their squeals of excitement ricocheting off the surrounding dunes. For something more suited to younger explorers, head out on a walk through the desert where your private guide will appeal to your youngster’s toilet humour, pointing out oryx dung and hyena droppings as well as the padded paw prints of an elusive cheetah. A Namibia family safari is packed with extraordinary diversity, out-of-this-world landscapes, and an abundance of wonderful wildlife, making it the optimum adventure destination for broods of all ages.
