6 Day Dunes & Wildlife Accommodated Safari

this is a well organized tour and namibia is a beautiful country. our tour guide and daniel (for the first 3 days) made the whole trip even better! I learned a lot about animals, history, everything! the locations visited in just 6 days are amazing of course it comes with a lot of sitting in the car because it is a big country. be prepared for the car time but it is totally worth it. i will come back and spend even more time!

7 Day Namibian Highlights Accommodated Safari

A great trip! Daniel is a great tour leader, excellent driver, good chef, communicate clearly, always on time, very knowledgeable and a very friendly and nice guy. The accomodation way exceeded my expectations. A few days of long distance driving on relatively bumpy roads, but if you are up for it and keen to see the country, that’s not an issue

• In-depth Cultural

Wonders of Namibia National Geographic Journeys

Great things we saw!! A pity was the mistake in Etosha ( wrong dates in booking) forcing us to go to a run down camp. But also the planned camp (next day) was of low quality, with rather unfriendly personnel.

Sossusvlei, Swakopmund & Etosha (Camping) - 7 Days

Thanks Tourradar and Discovery tours for the wonderful trip. I had a good time visiting Namibia. My guide and fellow tourist were good, friendly and accommodating. I would recommend both tourradar and discovery tours for Namibian trips. The landscapes and animals were amazing. The itinerary was perfect. I got an upgrade as well. Thanks Fanuel!! Appreciate it. Minor inconveniences were sorted out promptly. The people,the land and animals of Namibia are A+. Cheers Vinay

My daughter and I did the 9 day discover Namibia tour and had a fantastic time. The itinerary and accommodations were great, and our guide Willem was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating; we could not have asked for a better guide. Namibia is a beautiful country; we would love to return.

7 Days / 6 Nights Sossusvlei, Swakopmund and Etosha National Park ( Comfort)

I really enjoyed my time in Namibia with this tour. It was a great way to safely see so many of the wonderful things Namibia has to share. You see all the major spots and the accommodations are really unique and beautiful! The company needs to work on some COVID procedures as most people I interacted with were unfortunately unvaccinated.

Tailor-Made Private Namibia Desert Adventure, Daily Departure

10 Days Northern Namibia, Damaraland, Coast & Sossusvlei Camping Safari

We had a very pleasant 10 days tour of Namibia, thanks to the excellent guides working for Blue Crane Safaris. The guides Me-Gusto and Eve-Frans were energetic and very knowledgeable about the people, wild life and geology of their country. Excellent safe driving, good meals and a good night's rest in a comfortable tent completed a well-planned tour. We recommend this tour to nature lovers who want to discover Namibia's wide open spaces, wild life, rugged mountains, sand dunes and starry nights. Finding the elusive dessert elephants was one of the highlights. Web hope to come again.

Reviews of Small Group tours to Namibia

A wonderful tour. The tour description is precise, and we actually went through like that. Like the most tours, you'll probably need to ask something to them, but they were responsible almost all the time, which was helpful. Accommodations are very satisfiable. Of course, they're not like 5 star hotel, but are high quality given the places we visit. I liked especially 2nd to 5th nights. As others mentioned, we need to spend lots of time driving without music, but I feel that was inevitable to visit across the country. Still, what I was amazed the most was the guide. Gideon, our guide, prepared pretty meals every time, explained well about everything, spotted animals quickly in the safari, drove with safety, and clean the bus every day. Thank you for the experience

I loved it! Namibia is a beautiful country and it was such a great experience to see it with this tour. The places where we stayed were lovely and the people were very nice. The only maybe advice I can give is to have a better communication between company and tour guide. I and another girl had dietary requirements and he was not aware on the first day. Because of this, he had to go get a different lunch than he had prepared already. I also expected the company to communicate with the tour guide that I had a flight on the last day, since they asked me that. He was also not aware of this. I thought he would know, so this made it a little stressful on the last night to arrange this.

The group makes the trip good. The CEO was good with all the information he gave on daily basis whether it was on logistics or other tour related. The driver was very care and knew not only about driving but was able to fix problems given the long distance driving. All in all the tour pretty much covered the highlights of Namibia. We enjoyed the tour and the group and recommend it to others.

Best time to visit namibia.

The best time to visit Namibia depends on what you want to see and do. The dry season (May-September) is considered the best time to explore the Nabim Desert and go on safari as the temperatures are comfortable, vegetation is thin and wildlife congregates around waterholes.

The shoulder months (April and October) may be a better option for a safari without peak season crowds; however, Namibia's national parks and reserves never feel  too  crowded.

While it can be trickier to spot game in the wet season (November-March), you might be lucky to see cute newborns as it coincides with the birthing season.

Learn more about the best time to visit Namibia

Culture and customs

Human settlement in Namibia can be traced back to as early as 15000 BC. In the time since, a diverse mix of people and communities have inhabited Namibia, culminating in a unique cultural heritage made of symbolic beliefs, traits, and traditions.

Today, most of the population sits within the larger Aawambo cultural group found mostly in the north of Namibia. Other large cultural groups that make up Namibia are the Nama, Damara, Kavango, and Ovaherero people.

Namibia was colonized by Germany from the late 1800s until 1919. Because of this, Europeans now make up 5 percent of the population. German influences can be seen throughout Namibia by way of cuisine, language, architecture and more. As much as 10 percent of Namibia’s population is made up of people who have migrated from South Africa.

The national language is English, however many Namibians also speak multiple Indigenous languages, such as the Aawambo language.

Eating and drinking

Like many countries, the majority of Namibia’s cuisine stems from the traditional cooking techniques and produce found in the area. In more recent times, immigrating cultures, specifically German and English, have added to the culinary scene. With a large variation of meats to cook with, it’s no surprise that many of the popular dishes feature meat in some way, often accompanied by a strong flavor and paired carbohydrate.

There are plenty of options for non-meat eaters, too. Some must-tries include green asparagus, omboga (dried spinach), Namibian olives, owawa mushrooms, geelrys (rice dish), oshigali (puree beans) and more.

Things to try in Namibia

A staple daily dish to many, mieliepap is a porridge-like meal usually made with cornflour and served with a selection of vegetables or even a meat protein like fish or goat.

A dish cooked in a small iron pot, potjiekos is a stew that typically combines game meat with hearty vegetables like cauliflower, pumpkin, and cabbage.

This dish is of Dutch and Afrikaans origin and serves as a way to store meat. By using a savory rub of flavored spices, salt, and vinegar, then left to air dry, biltong is a tasty snack that can last for a long time if cured correctly.

Namibian oysters are known to be meatier and fast-growing than in other areas of the world. They are likely to be prepared differently depending on where you go.

Fat cakes are a very popular snack in Namibia and other parts of the world. Essentially, fat cakes are just deep-fried dough balls that can be made into sweet or savory dishes. So, it's no wonder they're popular!

Geography and environment

Red desert dunes, rugged bushveld, dense woodlands, and plains of gravel make up Namibia's ancient terrain. Home to the monumental Fish River Canyon and sharing the iconic Kalahari Desert with   South Africa   and   Botswana , Namibia has some of the most interesting landscapes in   Africa , if not the world.

With little arable land and a warm climate, Namibia is prone to prolonged periods of drought, making farming difficult. Bordered by Angola, Botswana, South Africa, and   Zambia , Namibia also has a stretch of coastline along the Atlantic Ocean where visitors can see where the desert meets the sea.

Top 10 places to visit in Namibia

1. fish river canyon.

There's more to the Fish River Canyon than its sheer size. With remote hiking trails, magnificent view points and raging river torrents during the rainy season, visitors will be breathless at the epic views and sense of isolation when visiting this canyon, believed to have been formed more than 500 million years ago.

A not-to-be-missed stop on our epic 40 day Zanzibar to Cape Town wildlife tour.

2. Damaraland

The timeworn terrain of Damaraland makes for interesting, otherworldly landscapes to travel through. The combination of strange rock formations, parched valleys, ochre boulders and amber sunsets makes for magic memories.

See it for yourself on our 17 day Premium Botswana & Namibia tour .

3. Sossusvlei sands

This huge clay pan wrapped in red sand dunes occupies a large part of southern Namibia. With some of the tallest dunes in the world, Sossusvlei's variety of color, size, and flora make it a glory to behold.

Get a jaw-dropping view of the nearby dune giants from atop Dune 45 or below at the Dead Vlei pan while on our 30 day Southern African Adventure or a 13 day Namibia Discovery tour .

4. Cape Cross

This protected area on the cape of the southern Atlantic is most famous for its resident seal colony, one of the largest in the world.

While in Swakopmund, see enough seals to last you the rest of your life with an excursion to Cape Cross on our 10 day Premium Namibia tour .

5. Ship to shore

Namibia's Skeleton Coast has been called 'The Land God Made in Anger' by the San Bushmen and 'The Gates of Hell' by the Portuguese, and it's not hard to see why. With gale-force winds battering the shore, rolling surf, and thick fog, the Skeleton Coast has ruined many a mariner over the years. Evidence of this is scattered along the coastal sands, with a collection of rusting ships resting on the beaches - an eerie yet enthralling sight.

See the Skeleton Coast for yourself on a 17 day Premium Botswana & Namibia adventure.

6. Etosha National Park

Etosha National Park might be one of the best places to see some of Africa’s iconic wildlife. With its artificial watering holes and wide clear spaces, it’s likely you’ll grab some stellar snaps of the hard-to-miss inhabitants, including elephants, zebras, and even black rhinos.

Etosha NP is just one of the many unique animal-filled destinations on our incredible 22 day Cape Town to Vic Falls wildlife tour . But if you don’t have that long, it also makes a great last stop on our 10 day Premium Namibia adventure .

7. Zambezi River

The Zambezi River isn’t just the fourth-longest river in Africa; it’s also the hangout spot for some pretty famous animals. Look for hippos, monkeys, elephants, buffalo, birds, and more aboard a canoe or cruise.

Sip a drink or two and watch for Africa’s mighty animals from your feature stay on the Zambezi River on our 17 day Premium Botswana & Namibia tour or 7 day Premium Botswana trip .

8. Walvis Bay

Bird lovers should consider a stop at Walvis Bay, which is typically a stop on the way to nearby Swakopmund. Thousands of migratory birds, including the fan-favorite flamingos and portly-pouched pelicans are seen across the lagoons and bird sanctuaries.

Get out your binoculars and get ready to tick off some bird sightings as you visit Walvis Bay on our 10 day Premium Namibia adventure .

9. Swakopmund

If, while in Africa, you have a hankering for German architecture, stop by the spookily named Skeleton Coast for a visit to the town of Swakopmund. Wander through the mix of Namibian and German influences of this seaside stop, enjoying the open-air market and fresh sea breeze. You could also find yourself on a dolphin and seal boating adventure to nearby Cape Cross or out on a local fishing excursion.

Swakopmund is a destination fit for any African itinerary. That’s why you can find it on all our Namibia tours, including our 13 day Namibia Discovery tour , our 22 Amazing Southern Africa adventure , and our 63 day Africa Encompassed Southbound tours .

10. Orange River

Named the Orange River for its unique hue, this waterway has been an important part of Namibian and South African history – namely, the diamond rush in the 1800s. While diamond mining is a continuing business in the region, many people simply come to enjoy paddling the waters.

Enjoy a day on the water at Orange River while on a 13 day Namibia Discovery tour .

What’s travel without a meaningful souvenir or two? When in Namibia, Intrepid encourages travelers to support local makers who put time and effort into handmaking their wares. Culturally significant items are often available for purchase, especially in tourist areas. Speaking to the local sellers can be a great way to learn about their culture and understand the significance of what they are selling.

It's a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country.

Things to buy in Namibia

Many of the beautiful textiles sold around Namibia can be used in a multitude of ways, e.g., for clothing, tableware, art, and more. Look to buy from traditional artists and makers in craft markets to support local talent and local industries.

Wooden crafts

A hand-carved wooden object is a great memento to take home from Namibia. There’s likely a souvenir for everyone with crockery, bowls, animal figures, dolls, instruments, and more. You’ll see traditional African masks for sale, which are often items that have a symbolic meaning to the local people.

Precious gems

As one of the largest producers of diamonds in the world, you’re likely to find a sparkly item or two in Namibia. Be sure to do some research or ask your guide about where to go, as not all shops will have the real deal.

Solo Travel in Namibia

Every one of our Namibia vacations is suitable for solo travelers – in fact, you can expect that around half of your group will be traveling solo. The number varies depending on which tour you choose, but you'll certainly be in good company. Our small group vacations to Namibia are a great opportunity to meet like-minded people and share experiences along the way.

Best time to go to Namibia

The most popular time to visit Namibia is June to October when the temperatures are a bit cooler and the days are dry and bright. This dry season is also the perfect time to spot wildlife congregating around waterholes in Etosha National Park. 

If you want to escape the crowds, head to Namibia in February and March. It will feel hotter and more humid, but you’ll be spoiled with sightings of migratory birds and lush green countryside. 

April is the shoulder season when temperatures start to drop, rain is less frequent and lush vegetation is still bountiful - perfect for an Easter vacation getaway.

Uniquely Tauck

EXPERIENCE WITH TAUCK

Join a Bushman guide for a walk into the Namib Desert for insights about the insects and wildlife that thrive here and star gaze in the NamibRand Nature Reserve, one of the least light-polluted and naturally darkest places on Earth 

Explore the red-tinted dunes of Sossusvlei with an opportunity to climb Big Daddy, towering skyward at 1,066 feet tall and explore the desert by riding on the dunes aboard a two-person ATV vehicle, or embarking on a scenic jeep safari to explore the sights

TAUCK VALUES INCLUDE

Flightsee over the desert and dunes of Sossusvlei and the pristine coast of Namibia aboard a flight to Swakopmund, where seaside discoveries await on a kayaking excursion or catamaran cruise 

Go behind-the-scenes at a Wildlife Sanctuary where a hands-on visit promises personal encounters with baby baboons happy to interact with you

SEE WHAT YOUR JOURNEY INCLUDES

Active components such as hiking, bicycling and walking longer distances may be included, and hills and/or uneven terrain may be encountered on several days. Guests should be able to walk two to three miles and stand for long periods of time with no difficulty.

Consistently robust – very full and active days, extended travel times, use of different modes of local transport, and a possibility of early starts.

Experiences of a lifetime

Embark on an epic 11-day journey to Namibia, home to the Big Daddy of sand dunes, desert landscapes alive with oryx, bat-eared foxes, zebras, lizards and more, pristine beaches that line the coast, and game reserves where rhinos flourish. A Bushman desert walk, behind the scenes visit to a wildlife sanctuary, ATV rides and more enable up close unforgettable discoveries.

The sand dunes of sossusvlei.

The Sossusvlei, a salt and clay pan surrounded by towering red-tinted sand dunes, is located in the southern part of the Namib Desert. Sossusvlei literally translates to "dead-end marsh," marking the place where the dunes come together to prevent the Tsauchab River from flowing into the nearby Atlantic Ocean. Here you'll find the Big Daddy of dunes, a veritable sand stairway of sorts soaring 100-stories up into the sky, sitting beside sand towers equally compelling. Venture up Big Daddy on foot with a local guide then ride aboard an ATV or a jeep for a closer look at the dunes, memorable ways to experience the wonder of it all.

Etosha National Park

One of the most accessible game reserves in Namibia, Etosha National Park is home to the Big Five and an ancient salt pan so vast it can be seen from outer space. Game viewing is extraordinary here, especially at the waterholes that permeate the park. The larger waterholes attract herds of zebra and springbok happy to mingle with Oryx and bathing elephants. You'll come upon big cats too, leopards hiding in the brush, fleet-footed cheetahs and lions lapping up the water with other animals nearby, including the endangered black rhino, one of the best places in the world to see them.

Starry Nights at Kwessi Dunes

Kwessi Dunes is located deep within the private NamibRand Nature Reserve, offering guests unique access to the Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world, and nights of starlight you'll not soon forget. Twelve air-conditioned chalets with canvas walls cater to your comfort during your stay, and include a separate star gazing room that's completely open to the night sky above for unprecedented views of star, constellations and galaxies that are literally out of this world – in one of the least light-polluted regions in the world.

Hands On with Baby Baboons

Naankuse wildlife sanctuary.

Your safari adventure includes a unique opportunity to meet and interact with baby baboons on a private behind-the-scenes visit to the Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary. The sanctuary provides a home to a wide variety of animals and birds, including meerkats, mongooses and rock hyraxes, along with monkeys, lions, leopards, cheetahs, African wild dogs, and more.

About Booking This Tour

Travel Documents

If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally , you will need a valid passport to enter Namibia. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months after the scheduled departure date and a minimum of 3 blank pages to enable the entry visa to be issued. American and British citizens can currently receive tourist visas on arrival with no requirement for pre-arrangement. A maximum of 90 days is granted for a tourist visa.

If you are a citizen of another country traveling internationally, you should contact a consulate or embassy of each of the countries visited on this itinerary to determine what travel documentation is required.

We recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.

To facilitate Travel Requirements, destinations are increasingly utilizing online forms that require digital proof that you've successfully completed your submission (via an email, QR code, etc.) To ensure smooth travels and peace of mind, we strongly recommend all guests carry a personal smart phone and sign up for international data plans before traveling overseas.

TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN AS A GUARDIAN: If you are traveling as the guardian of a child/children, we strongly suggest that you carry a letter from both parents of the child authorizing emergency treatment in the event of illness or accident. For travel abroad, many foreign countries have specific entry requirements for children under 21 who are traveling internationally without BOTH parents. (These requirements are in response to the increased incidence of children being abducted and taken abroad.) PLEASE NOTE THAT TAUCK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for the disruption of travel caused by improper documentation for children traveling without both parents.

Deposits & Final Payment

Deposits and fees for the optional Protection Plan or Cancel Fee Waiver [CFW] coverage are due at time of booking.

Final Payment is due to Tauck  90  days before departure for lands trips, and  120  days before departure for cruises and rail journeys. If your deposit was made by credit card, final payment will be automatic unless you opted out at time of booking.

Travel Protection Plan

Effective for plans purchased as of July 1, 2021:

Tauck's Guest Protection

Tauck's Guest Protection provides you with cancellation protection before your journey begins as well as insurance benefits while you are traveling. Guest Protection includes the following:

Cancellation Waiver – Provided by Tauck:

Under Tauck's Cancellation Fee Waiver you can cancel your tour for ANY REASON up to the day before departure and receive a money-back refund (except in Extreme Circumstances*) on the land tour cost, based on your original method of payment.

*Extreme Circumstances:  In the event of an act of God, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, accident, natural disaster, outbreak of disease, or other event or circumstance beyond our control that contributes to or results in cancellation rates above our historical cancellation rates in the absence of such event or occurrence, Tauck reserves the right to issue a credit to you in lieu of a money-back refund, applicable to a future Tauck journey.

Travel Insurance Benefits – Underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company.

• Trip Cancellation –  If you must cancel your tour due to a covered reason, the plan provides coverage for the amount you paid for your travel arrangements. Since the non-insurance cancellation waiver takes care of the land package cancellation fees already, this benefit reimburses the airfare cancellation charges up to the value of your original airfare purchase.
• Trip Interruption –  If you have to interrupt your tour for covered reasons, the plan provides reimbursement to catch up to your tour or return home.
• Travel Delay –  Provides reimbursement for missed, prepaid travel arrangements if you are delayed by a common carrier, natural disaster, unannounced strike, or other reasons as cited in the plan.
• Medical Expense –  Reimburses covered medical expenses incurred in the event you become injured or sick during your trip. 
• Baggage / Personal Effects Protection –  Provides reimbursement in the event your luggage or personal effects are, lost, stolen, damaged or delayed during your trip.
• Worldwide Emergency Assistance Services –  Provided by CareFree Travel Assistance; 24-hour emergency telephone assistance hotline for medical and travel related problems.

The cost of Tauck's Guest Protection is: $769 per person

This protection provides insurance coverage that applies only during the covered trip. You may have coverage from other sources that provides you with similar benefits but may be subject to different restrictions depending upon your other coverages. You may wish to compare the terms of this policy with your existing life, health, home and automobile policies. If you have any questions about your current coverage, call your insurer, insurance agent or broker.

This optional Guest Protection must be requested at time of booking and fee must be included with initial payment. Fees are based on costs as of July 2021, and are subject to change. Details will be provided with written confirmation of your tour reservation. Guest Protection does not protect travel agent commissions. Reimbursements will be made according to original method of payment. The amount of any refund shall be reduced by any recoveries obtained by you from any third parties.

The Guest Protection plan waives cancellation fees outlined below, provided we are notified of cancellation before your tour departs. Tour cancellation fees are waived regardless of reason, without written notice, and Tauck will refund land tour cost.

To obtain your state-specific Certificate of Insurance that contains the complete terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions of the certificate, visit  affinitytravelcert.com/docs/TACGPPINTL .

If You Have To Cancel

If you cancel within 10 days of initial deposit Within the first 10 days after you place your initial deposit, you may cancel your reservation for any reason with no cancellation fees. If you cancel more than 10 days after initial deposit Regardless of reason, cancellations result in costly charges from our travel and hotel providers covering penalties and fees incurred by canceling confirmed bookings. These fees vary from tour to tour. Therefore, the following fees apply.

Loss of Guest Protection fee, per person 

Cancellation Fees without Tauck's Guest Protection Plan :

90 days or more before departure = $600 per person

89-8 days before departure = $1250 per person

Travel Requirements For This Tour

Air Information and Luggage Restrictions

AIRFARE: Airfare to and from this destination is not included in the journey cost. If purchasing your air elsewhere, it is very important to provide us with your confirmed arriving and departing flight information no later than 3 weeks before your arrival date. Flight information can be submitted to Tauck (or verified, if you've already provided it) in the My Account section of Tauck.com.

TAUCK AIRPORT TRANSFERS are included at the start and end of the journey between the airport and the Tauck hotel. Airport transfers are available for any pre tour or post tour hotel stays immediately consecutive to the tour, providing flight information is received in the Tauck office no later than three weeks in advance. Details on locating your transfer upon arrival to the tour start city will be included in your final documents.

AIRLINES and CHECKED LUGGAGE:  Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and are free to revise luggage policies without notice. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.

Carry-on Luggage - General

To help in your packing, Tauck will provide each guest with a large rolling duffel bag. The duffel bag has been specially designed to provide more than adequate space for essential items needed while on safari.  All of the accommodations on this tour have laundry services. Please Note: Packing lightly is recommended as the Tauck-issued duffel bag will be the only piece of luggage allowed with you on safari.  Strict limitations on our on-tour flights require that each guest take only one piece of soft-sided luggage (the duffel bag) weighing no more than 44 pounds, or 20 kilograms. Soft-sided luggage is required to ensure your piece fits into irregularly shaped luggage compartments. The duffel bag will be sent to your home and should arrive approximately two weeks prior to your departure for Africa. 

Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for safari vehicle travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern safari vehicles offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.

For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, valuables, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the seat must be stored in the luggage truck, and will be inaccessible during daytime travel.

Health, Safety and Mobility

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.

Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.

VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Immigration authorities in some nations require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against certain diseases in order to enter those countries. These requirements are subject to frequent change as outbreaks occur and subside, and it is therefore crucial that you obtain the very latest information on entry requirements as you prepare for your journey.

For the most current information possible vaccination requirements, please consult the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by clicking here  and the World Health Organization (WHO) by clicking here . You may also wish to visit the web sites for the embassies of the countries you will be visiting. Besides providing details on vaccination requirements, these sites can also provide information on vaccinations that may be recommended (but aren't required) and other potential health issues for which no vaccines are available.

Any decisions relating to your health, of course, should not be based solely on information provided by a web site. It is critically important that you consult with your personal physician prior to your journey to obtain any required vaccinations and to review any optional recommendations offered by the CDC or other sources.

Please be sure to discuss your journey with your physician at least four to six weeks in advance of your departure, as certain vaccinations take time to become fully effective. Also, be certain to ask your physician for proof of any vaccinations you receive, and to pack this proof along with your other travel documents in your carry-on luggage (not in your checked luggage).

Researching and complying with vaccination entry requirements for the countries visited on this itinerary is the responsibility of the traveler and not Tauck. Tauck is therefore not responsible for any expenses incurred or disruptions to travel caused by improper or incomplete vaccinations, or by the failure to provide proof of required vaccinations.

If you do not obtain the necessary vaccinations and proper documentation, you may be denied entry into one or more countries, or temporarily quarantined until the necessary vaccinations are administered, or until proper documentation is provided.

SPECIAL DIETARY REQUESTS

The restaurants, hotels, caterers and numerous other partners we work with all do their best to accommodate special dietary requests from Tauck guests. However, given the diverse nature of those food providers (from small wineries to grand hotels to world-famous restaurants in more than 70 countries worldwide), some of our partners are better able than others to accommodate such requests. We therefore cannot guarantee that all dietary requests can be accommodated at every meal. Also, please note that where dietary requests can be accommodated, choices will frequently be limited.

Please note that all Tauck guests will dine at Tauck Designated tables for meals. The majority of meals while on safari, are buffet due to the international guests that stay at the lodges.

All travelers to Africa should be in reasonably good health. There is a significant amount of walking on this tour, frequently in warm weather, as well as climbing in and out of safari vehicles and frequent air travel. We strongly advise that guests who require assistance walking or travel with oxygen tanks may not fully enjoy this very active journey.

There are certain rules and regulations that one should be aware of while on  safari. It is important that you listen to your tour director, local guide or  ranger, as they are trained to be aware of the environment around them.

Guests should be aware that while on safari, you will be traveling in smaller  groups and will travel on small bush planes and/or helicopters.

Guests will share smaller safari vehicles, where they will be required to rotate  not only safari guides, rangers and cars, but also seats within the car. Please  note that there are limited medical facilities, and guests will not have  exclusive use to a vehicle should they need special attention or consideration.

The safari vehicles are not air conditioned. The cars have six window seats, and  many are open air cars for animal viewing. Please note that the areas traversed  on game drives are typically unpaved and will often be bumpy and dusty.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN AND MOBILITY ISSUES: This Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate oxygen tanks, wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Oxygen tanks are strictly prohibited in many foreign countries on regional flights aboard small aircraft, such as those intra-tour flights featured on this Tauck journey. Likewise, the very limited cargo capacity on such flights prohibits the transport of wheelchairs or motorized scooters.

Guests should also bear in mind that the infrastructure in many foreign countries, particularly in developing countries, often presents severe and even insurmountable challenges for those with walking difficulties or other mobility issues. The responsibility of the Tauck Director is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.

Reading List

We have compiled a reading list of recommended books to give you more information about the destinations you will be traveling to on your upcoming journey!

To read about current weather conditions, we suggest you log on to the Internet website by clicking here.

What To Pack

Generally, lightweight, cotton, short-sleeved and long-sleeved shirts, shorts and long pants are sufficient. A jacket, fleece, or windbreaker, as well as layers of clothing, are suggested for cooler temperatures during early morning game drives, especially from May to September, and for evenings. A bandana or cotton scarf will always come in handy.

For the welcome and farewell dinners, and for dining in the larger cities, many guests like to dress up, but by all means be comfortable.

While on safari you may wish to wear natural earth-colored clothing, such as khakis, tans, browns, and greens mainly to show less of the dust you will encounter.  However, it is not necessary and you can wear any color clothing on safari. Comfortable closed-toed walking shoes are essential especially when walking in the sand of the desert. It is also a good idea to bring a swimsuit, wide brim hat, sunscreen, sunglasses (a necessity and preferably polarized), and lip protection. 

Game drives can be dusty, so wear something that can be washed while on safari. Valet service is available at all lodges and hotels.A personal kit with medication for possible upset stomach, aspirin, and allergy medicine may also be useful. If you are taking prescription drugs, bring a prescription signed by your doctor in case you need an emergency refill while traveling. Insect repellent with DEET is a very important item to include in your kit. Pre-moistened towelettes, antibacterial lotion, and a flashlight will also be useful on your safari.

Pack your medical kit in your carry-on bag along with an extra pair of prescription glasses or contact lenses and a change of clothes in case of luggage delay.

For viewing wildlife, we recommend you bring a good pair of binoculars and your own photography supplies, such as plenty of film, batteries, a 200mm telephoto lens, lens cap, lens papers, UV filter and, for video-recording, an adequate supply of video cassettes.

We suggest that you pack the following items your journey:

• Casual daytime wear – shorts, slacks, long and short-sleeved shirts 
• Smart casual evening wear for welcome and farewell dinners
• Sunglasses (preferably polarized), sunscreen, wide brimmed hat 
• Swimwear 
• Undergarments for entire tour as some camps will not launder underwear.  Sports bra recommended for game drive as roads can be bumpy
• A sweater and fleece or windbreaker jacket for cold early morning and evenings 
• Binoculars (7x50 preferably) 
• Insect repellent 
• Camera, lenses, batteries, memory cards and chargers
• Lightweight, comfortable, closed-toed sturdy walking shoes that have already been broken-in – tennis shoes or hiking shoes are fine
• Travel alarm clock/cell phone with alarm functions 
• Rain poncho 
• Daypack for camera equipment 
• Sundries and toiletries that may be difficult to find en route Copies of your travel documents that should be secured in the safe in your hotel room while traveling

Please refer to the Necessary Gear website at  www.necessarygear.com  as one option available to you for renting and purchasing apparel, PPEs, and other items appropriate for your journey.

Namibia Safari Tours

The essence of namibia.

Dinosaur footprints and desert elephants, sky-high sand dunes and deep-cut canyons, Kalahari plains and Cape Cross seals, prolific wildlife, and ancient petroglyphs … Namibia has all the continent’s best characteristics in one captivating country.  

Why Choose a Tour in Namibia?

One of the world’s least densely populated countries, with some of Africa’s most abundant wildlife; one of Africa’s youngest nations, with the world’s oldest rock art; Namibia enthrals, entertains, and educates with its extraordinary landscapes, cultural sites, conservation ethos, and long-held customs. 

The country is known for prolific wildlife, not only in the National Parks but also in the unfenced miles between them. Our tours travel by road, river and rough tracks, for the best wildlife watching, up-close.

Lush, less travelled, Caprivi Strip marks Namibia’s remote northern reaches, where hippos rendezvous at Rundu; Mahango is home to magnificent baobabs; and the region is renowned for its 500+ bird species.

The Kalahari Desert conjures images of arid emptiness but, with rainfall in its Namibian miles, trees, grasses, and fossil watercourses make it a habitat for gemsbok and springbok, mongoose and meerkat.

Etosha Reserve is home to herds of plains game and flocks of flamingos, with big cats, elephants and rhinos among the 100 species of mammals, and night-lit waterholes bringing birds and beasts in abundance, a delight of twilight wildlife-watching.

Jaw-dropping scenery includes the other-worldly topography of Sossusvlei, in the Namib Desert, its landscape a stark, sparkling salt pan, encircled by wind-sculpted ‘star dunes’, and forming a photogenic arena, from bleached-white floor to rust-red sands, and bright blue sky.

The Gaub Pass crosses lunar landscapes, twisting around the rock formations of the Kuiseb Canyon; Fish River Canyon has walls up to 650m high, its river a torrent in the rainy season and barely a stream in the dry; and mountains hem Damaraland’s Twyfelfontein valley, a UNESCO listed gallery of ancient rock art.

Urban interludes include the capital, Windhoek, with a couple of castles, and the gingerbread Lutheran Christus Church a landmark in its strollable, colonial streets; while coastal Swakopmund hems surfing beaches on the Skeleton Coast with palm-lined avenues, half-timbered houses, and an iconic lighthouse.  

On a Jules Verne journey aboard the private Rovos Rail train , contemporary comfort combines with Edwardian elegance, to traverse the Namibian reaches of the Kalahari Desert, visit the Quiver Tree Forest and the ghost town of Kolmanskop, and enter South Africa for Kimberley’s gold-rush country.

When to go on Namibia Holidays

While Namibia is one of the driest countries in sub-Saharan Africa, its regional climates do vary, from hot and dry in the south to higher rainfall and lower temperatures in the north. Daytime temperatures are generally 20-32°, dipping in June to August - the coolest months, with the least chance of rainfall, and peaking at over 40° in the humid midsummer months of January and February. Night temperatures frequently drop to 10° and can fall below freezing in the deserts. The December to February rainy season creates landscapes at their greenest from April/May, while the lack of rain from May to October encourages animals to gather at the waterholes, ideal for wildlife watching. Jules Verne tours in Namibia run from March to June, September, and October.

Who Are Namibia Tours Suited To?

With wildlife viewing on every tour, an 11-night journey celebrates local culture, crafts and landscapes; two 2-week tours, by road or by rail, introduce lesser-known regions and visit Namibia’s neighbours, South Africa , or Botswana and Zimbabwe ; and our 17-night grand tour is a superb circling of Namibia, from the capital to the Kalahari, from Sossuvlei to Swakopmund, from beautiful wilderness to bountiful wildlife. Choose the tour that suits your style, tempo, and time available, and travel with like-minded people on our small-group journeys. 

Why Book Namibia Tours with Jules Verne?

With 45 years’ experience and a passion for creating extraordinary adventures, Jules Verne’s Namibian safaris typically take to the tracks with small groups of travellers and a knowledgeable driver/guide, well versed in the habits and habitats of the country’s amazing animals. Memorable features range from a special dinner at Windhoek’s Hotel Heinitzburg castle, to a bush dinner in Etosha, sculptures among the aloe trees of Quiver Tree Forest, and a flight over Swakopmund’s Skeleton Coast or a cruise of Walvis Bay.

All our guided tours to Namibia are ABTA and ATOL protected, and we offer a 100% price guarantee, so you can book with complete confidence.

It has never been a better time to visit Namibia, a country with an abundance of wildlife and rich in extraordinary landscapes, Namibia is guaranteed to capture the imagination of every visitor. Experience one of our Namibia small group tours or tailor-made holidays and embark on an adventure of a lifetime. A Namibia adventure holiday will satisfy your desire for adventure whether it's meeting a fearsome carnivore on a small group safari, or camping in a desert that is unlike anything you've ever seen before.

The traditional homeland of the ancient San bushmen, Namibia shares its land borders with the neighbouring countries of Angola, Zambia, South Africa and Botswana, whilst its western coastlines look out across the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Sandwiched between the oldest desert Namib and Kalahari Deserts, Namibia offers some truly wonderful landscapes, with the Skeleton Coast and the towering dunes of the Namib Desert in particular providing visitors with some astonishingly unforgettable panoramas, just one of the many highlights from our Namibia tours.

The harsh and dramatic features of the Skeleton Coast are littered with wind scoured shipwrecks and the bones of whales and seals that hark back to the days of the whaling fleets. The bushmen called this world, “The Land God made in Anger”. The Portuguese sailors had another name for it - “The Gates of Hell''. In contrast, the forested wetlands of the Caprivi Strip are home to a staggering variety of life, whilst the stunning Fish River Canyon provides immense vistas only beaten in scale by the Grand Canyon. Then there are the mountainous dunes of the searing Namib desert, which provide the surreal landscapes of Sossusvlei and the dramatic shadows at sunrise and sunset for which Namibia is famed.

Amongst the powerful landscapes, visitors are also blessed with an abundance of wildlife. Pick one of the many vantage points and waterholes in Etosha to settle in next to and watch as the desert-dwellers, such as the roaming desert elephants make their way to you in herds.

SUGGESTED ITINERARIES

Highlights of namibia, best experiences.

Be your own safari guide

Etosha National Park covers a huge 20,000 squared km and is home to 4 of the big 5, including the endangered black rhino. The vast majority of roads are in good condition and adequate for self-drivers, so take your own pace as you journey through the park.

Experience a desert dune safari

Travel to the heart of the Sossusvlei Desert in your jeep with your guide who will show you around this vast, breathtaking landscape. Challenge yourself with a climb to the top of the massive ‘Big Daddy,’ the tallest dune in the Sossusvlei area at 325 metres.

Explore the coastal shipwrecks

Marvel at the shipwrecks that have become synonymous with the Skeleton Coast. Take a 4x4 along the sandy border and visit the famous shipwreck, the Eduard Bohlen, a 100m wreck on the desolate beach, slowly eroding into history.

Meet the Himba

The Himba people are pastoralists who have survived years of famine, war and threats of modernisation. Take the day to experience local Himba culture and customs, and some of the most wonderful walks around the compound.

Track rhino on foot

Etosha National Park is home to the endangered black rhinos. Take a research drive where a ranger will explain various conservation efforts and data collection that has been carried out and get you as close as possible to one of these incredible animals.

Trek through the Sossusvlei

Take a hike up Dune 45; the fine sand does make it a bit of an arduous journey but the views over the dunes to the Deadvlei Sea are incredible. Top tip is to take off your shoes and wear your socks to climb, they create more traction on the fine sand.

Walk through the Okonjima plains

A safari on foot through the central highlands reserve is a truly authentic experience which gives you a unique view of the life that unfolds in this area. With vast open plains and mountainous rocks, you may spot some cheetahs and hyenas on your way.

Visit the AfriCat foundation

Visit the AfriCat conservation centre to see what efforts are being made to protect and grow the local cheetah population. You will learn how the centre provides education and training to the youth of Namibia to ensure the conservation lives on in the future.

Experience community tourism

Learn about the local Damara people who built the local museum, a UNESCO world heritage site, that their communities are benefiting from by learning about the importance of preserving their cultural heritage for long term benefit and making a profit.

Take A Wildlife Cruise On A Lagoon

Walvis Bay is the only deep-water port in Namibia. Onboard a Catamaran, you will have the chance to experience the lagoon in luxury, style, and comfort. You can often see seals, flamingos, pelicans, and cormorants in the lagoon as it is the perfect place for wildlife viewing.

USEFUL INFORMATION

Health and Vaccinations  

There are no mandatory immunisations for travellers to Namibia though you should be up-to-date with Typhoid, Tetanus, Polio and Hepatitis A. Malaria is present in most  parts of Namibia so we recommend you seek advice from your local GP or travel centre as to the correct immunisations and preventative treatments. 

Currency  

In Namibia, the currency is the Namibian Dollar. Please note that the South African Rand is also widely accepted as the Namibian Dollar is pegged to the Rand at the same exchange rate. Please note that changing Namibian Dollars outside of Namibia is almost impossible so try not to exchange too much. 

To check out the latest exchange rate for the places that you are visiting you can go to www.oanda.com . 

Cultural Sensitivity  

On our tours you will frequently interact with local people, each with their own distinct customs and traditions. We therefore ask you to be considerate and to treat them with respect. Your tour-leaders and guides will always be able to advise you accordingly.  

Language & Religion  

English is the official language, but Namibia’s relatively small population is extraordinarily diverse in language and culture. More than 11 languages are indigenous to Namibia but with its cosmopolitan society a number of languages from around the world are spoken in Namibia. People commonly speak two or three languages and more than 50% of the population speaks Oshiwambo. Due to the country’s colonial history Afrikaans, the language of the previous South African occupiers, is still widely spoken and functions as the lingua franca in Namibia. Namibia has two small groups of nomadic groups; the Khoisan speaking people, known as the Bushmen or San and the Ovahimba people, figuratively known as the red people. 

The constitution of Namibia allows for freedom on religion and the country is a secular state. 

It is thought that around 90% of Namibian's are Christian, and a surprisingly large number actively practice their religion with regular church attendance. The largest Christian group is the Lutheran Church which grew out of the work of the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Mission. Next largest are Roman Catholics, while most other Christian denominations can also be found. 

Time  

Namibia is 2 hours ahead of GMT. 

A useful website to check the time zone differences is www.worldtimezone.com .  

Food and drink  

Namibian Food is a blend of traditional German influence mixed with the South African delicacies. The common food in Namibia are game dishes with the popular ones being kudu meat, springbok and gemsbok. 

The national drink of Namibia is the Tafel lager and Windhoek lager. 

Although Namibia is a meat-orientated society and many menu options will feature steaks from one animal or another, vegetarians are readily catered for and all of the lodges and camps provide a good standard of food. 

Travelling Solo In Namibia

All of our   group tours  in Namibia   are designed to cater for   solo travellers : the number of solo travellers will vary from tour to tour, but usually over half will be travelling alone. Get all of the excitement of discovering new places combined with the security of travelling with an organised group, with like minded people.

Namibia Safari Tours & Holidays

A safari in Namibia is as much about the wildlife as the country’s scenic beauty. In Etosha National Park it has one of the most storied wildlife reserves on the continent, but there’s so much more to experience here. The national parks of the Zambezi Region (formerly Caprivi Strip) are only now getting the attention they deserve, while the dune-scapes of the Skeleton Coast and its hinterland are simply extraordinary. And these are just starting points for exploring a country rich in experiences and safari possibilities.

8 Questions About Namibia Safaris

Answered by

Anthony ham.

When is the best time to visit Namibia?

“If I had to choose one month for a Namibia tour, it would be June (followed by May). Although June temperatures can plummet overnight, you get the best of both worlds: high-season prices have yet to kick in, but the weather is ideal for outdoor exploration. As long as you don’t mind high-season prices and higher numbers of visitors with whom to share the wilderness, July through to October is also excellent with generally dry, clear weather and good visibility. By October, temperatures are starting to rise towards uncomfortable levels. The rains are less of an issue in Namibia than they are elsewhere in southern Africa, but rain does occur, especially from December through to March or April. At this time, birdlife is abundant. However, some off-road trails may become difficult to navigate and wildlife tends to disperse and be harder to find (because of the additional water sources scattered around).”

What are the major attractions in Namibia?

“Wildlife is a major draw for visitors on Namibia safaris. Etosha National Park , in particular, is one of Africa’s most celebrated safari destinations – and rightly so. Its combination of hallucinatory salt pans and large wildlife populations (including lions, elephants and plains animals in abundance) give it a distinction found in few other parks. Less commonly visited, but for many travelers equally rewarding, are Damaraland and the reserves of the Zambezi Region, such as Bwabwata and Nkasa Rupara (Mamili) National Parks. Landscapes are another highlight. From the Waterberg Plateau and Namib-Naukluft National Park to Kaokoland and Fish River Canyon (Africa’s answer to the Grand Canyon), stark beauty takes on many forms here. Namibia has long been a popular destination for self-drive safaris, but a Namibia safari is now just as likely to be characterized by luxury lodges, both exclusive and remote, that bring class and comfort to the whole experience.”

How much does a Namibia safari cost?

“It is possible to do a Namibia safari on the cheap, by renting a 4WD and heading out into the wild. While vehicle rental costs are generally high, and fuel is never cheap, your vehicle will also be your home, and camping and national park fees are not as expensive as in some other countries. As a minimum, expect to pay US$175 per person per day. If you’re looking for higher comfort levels and for someone else to take care of the arrangements, Namibia safari prices also reach for the high end rather well. Although there are degrees of comfort and cost, the price of a Namibia safari package can go as high as US$1,075 per person per day.”

What is the wildlife viewing like in Namibia?

“The best places to see wildlife on a Namibia safari are in the country’s north. Etosha National Park is especially good for lions and elephants, but you’ll also see giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and all manner of antelope species. After dark, black rhinos gather at waterholes, including those alongside some of the main camping areas, and it was here that the BBC first filmed this unusual behavior. African wild dogs are a possibility in the northeast, while sable, sitatunga and red lechwe antelope are highlights in Bwabwata National Park. In the northwest, Damaraland and Kaokoland are famed for desert-adapted lions and elephants, and brown hyenas can be seen scavenging around seal colonies on the coast. Farther south, wildlife is scarcer and the main reason to visit is the scenery.”

How safe is Namibia for tourists?

“Namibia is generally safe and politically stable. You’re unlikely to experience any problems in safari areas, such as parks, reserves and wilderness areas. Although most Namibian cities are considered safe and very few travelers run into trouble, you should be careful in larger cities, especially Windhoek, where petty crime is a growing problem. Road conditions are generally excellent along the main road network, although off-road conditions can prove difficult, from the deep sands of Namib-Naukluft and Khaudum National Parks to the axle-breaking rocks of Damaraland and Kaokoland. If self-driving in these areas, make sure you are prepared. The only risk of malaria is in the extreme north, along the border with Angola and in the Zambezi Region.”

How do I select a reliable Namibian tour operator?

“Your first stop when planning a Namibia holiday should be SafariBookings.com, where you can see the widest range of safari options in one place. The insights that you’ll get from expert reviews of the parks and from travelers’ experiences with operators offering Namibia tours could prove invaluable. Beyond that, talk at length to any company you are considering for your travel plans. No question should go unanswered. A visit to Namibia can be expensive and you want to be well informed about what you’re paying for. Safaris are a dream trip for so many, and avoiding a nasty surprise or preventable disappointment while on the adventure of a lifetime should be more than enough motivation to ask questions of the company you book with. Make sure that you spell out your expectations of your Namibia safari. Is it wildlife or the landscapes that you most want to see? What wildlife is on your bucket list? What’s your daily itinerary? How many hours can you expect to spend in the car each day? If a company is unwilling or reluctant to answer these questions, you should look elsewhere.”

What type of accommodation can I expect?

“If you’re self-driving, as so many visitors to Namibia do, you’ll likely sleep in a tent: either on the ground or on the roof of the vehicle. Camping areas in Namibia are often crowded, especially in popular wildlife areas such as Etosha National Park, but they’re also fenced, unlike in neighboring Botswana. Most have facilities that include showers, toilets and sometimes even restaurants, kiosks and swimming pools. Elsewhere, Namibia has a full complement of lodges and hotels, usually on the fringes of wilderness areas. These span the complete range of costs and comfort levels. Inside the parks, reserves and remote areas, luxury lodges and tented camps, usually designed to blend into their surroundings, dominate. They often have just 8 to 10 tents, ensuring an exclusive experience at all times. Tents are large, with comfortable beds, writing desks, private bathrooms and private decks or terraces. The night noises of Africa and cooling evening breezes make the safari tent one of my favorite places to sleep anywhere on earth.”

What can I expect from a safari in Namibia?

“If your Namibia tour is all about wildlife, expect a similar experience in Namibia as you would elsewhere in Africa. This means a pre-dawn wake-up call, safari drives in the very early morning and again in the late afternoon, and perhaps even a night drive. On these drives, you’ll be accompanied by a guide, a driver and sometimes a local tracker perched on a seat on the hood of the vehicle looking for animal spoor (marks or substances left behind as animals move through their environment). You can also expect a full breakfast after you return from the morning’s drive, plus lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, with plenty of relaxation time in between. If your visit is more about exploring wild landscapes, your focus may be different, but the daily rhythms (formed in part to avoid being out during the hottest times of the day) are likely to be similar.”

What to Expect

This is a full, moderately strenuous program that is at times physically demanding and busy and requires you to be in good health and able to keep up with the group without assistance from tour staff. In order to make the most of what each locale has to offer, days will generally be long, with the daily program often beginning early in the morning and continuing into the early evening. We will cover rugged terrain and walks on daily excursions can range from one to two miles, often on uneven terrain in the warm sun, where handrails are not available. During the time in Johannesburg and Cape Town, travel will be by modern, air-conditioned motor coaches on paved roads. Land-based game drives will be by open-air safari vehicles, which can be dusty and bumpy, and that travelers will need to climb in and out of. The time spent at the game park includes early morning and late afternoon game drives, but there will be time midday to relax and enjoy a slower pace. Water-based game drives will be from small watercraft with chair-style seating; you will need to be able to get into and out of small watercraft with the assistance of tour staff and crew. Aboard the Zambezi Queen , there is no elevator, and you should feel comfortable walking on a rocking surface at times.

We will use commercial aircraft for the four on-tour flights: Johannesburg/Kasane, Victoria Falls/Cape Town, Cape Town/Skukuza, and Skukusa/Johannesburg.

Anyone with a serious medical condition or who has difficulty walking should not consider this trip. Please let us know if you have mobility issues that need special accommodation.

This promises to be a memorable journey, but as with all travel, a flexible attitude, a spirit of adventure, and a willingness to explore new areas will enhance your enjoyment of this program. You do not have to participate in all scheduled activities, except when traveling to the next destination. We are sure you will be pleased with the exciting educational program provided, but we want you to be aware of the pace and activity level.

Anti-israel protesters now demand u. california cuts ties with hillel, jewish groups: ‘it’s antisemitism’.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Anti-Israel protesters in California have outed themselves as raging antisemites after demanding that the University of California cut ties with Hillel and other Jewish community groups that support Jewish students and faculty on campuses.

The demands were revealed in a flier for the Students for Justice in Palestine at UC-Santa Cruz.

Critics were swift and did not mince words in pointing at that the flier demonstrates clear antisemitism .

“We are supposed to pretend, for the sake of political correctness, that SJP is simply criticizing the Israeli government rather than targeting Jews,” Bronx Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres wrote.

“Attacking Jewish institutions, however, is not criticism. It’s antisemitism.”

In a list of demands shared on Saturday on social media, the group calls for the university to “Cut ties UC-wide with all zionist organizations — including study abroad programs, fellowships, seminars, research collaborations and universities.”

Listed among the so-called “Zionist organizations” were Jewish community groups, including the Hellen Diller Foundation, Koret Foundation, Israel Institute and Hillel International — the biggest Jewish student life organization in the US.

“Three of the four organizations cited in the academic boycott demand by encampment activists at UCSC are Jewish charities and communal groups,” the Bay Area Jewish Community Relations Counsel  wrote on X.

If calling to boycott Jewish charities, organizations, and student groups that have no affiliation with the Israeli government is not antisemitism, then what is? Protesting against Jewish institutions is not a valid criticism of the Israeli government, and I think we both know… pic.twitter.com/aciWadL4YA — Hen Mazzig (@HenMazzig) May 3, 2024

“They are pillars of the Jewish community. This isn’t just about opposing Israel’s Gaza actions but seems aimed at Jewish institutions, revealing underlying antisemitism,” the Jewish group adds.

Other social media users also called out the list for “effectively demanding the end of Jewish life on campus.”

“All the people going ‘but Hillel has a pro-Israel orientation’ to the SJP at UCSC demands to remove Hillel would never be okay with someone saying “but Muslim student union has so many convicted terrorist alumni” as a defense to orgs asking it to be banned,” one person commented on X.

Hillel prohibits chapters from hosting or partnering with groups that oppose Israel and gets some funding from the Israeli government, according to Foreign Policy . However, it is otherwise apolitical and stands at the center for Jewish life at nearly all college campuses across the US.

Another social media user slammed US-Santa Cruz’s anti-Israel encampment as a “terrorism recruitment festival.”

“This list of their ‘demands’ transparently declares the real agenda to drive Jews out of universities and suppress safety and hate speech control,” a poster on X said.

With their list of demands, the pro-Palestine group also calls on the university to divest from weapons manufacturing companies to “end the targeted repression and policing of pro-Palestinian advocacy on campus” and to “sever all ties” with the local police department.

Biden to travel to North Carolina to meet with families of officers killed in deadly shooting

Police in North Carolina say a shootout that killed four law enforcement officers and wounded four others began as officers approached a home to serve a warrant for a felon wanted for possessing a firearm.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — President Joe Biden is expected to travel to North Carolina on Thursday to meet with the family members of four officers killed earlier this week in the deadliest attack on U.S. law enforcement since 2016.

The president is scheduled to visit Wilmington across the state that day and is planning to add a stop in Charlotte to meet with local officials and the families of officers shot Monday while serving a warrant, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The four officers were killed when a task force made up of officers from different agencies arrived in the residential neighborhood in the city of 900,000 to try to capture 39-year-old Terry Clark Hughes Jr. on warrants for possession of a firearm by an ex-felon and fleeing to elude in Lincoln County, North Carolina. Hughes was also killed.

Four other officers were wounded in the shootout, and an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, a 40-caliber handgun and ammunition were found at the scene. Those killed were identified as Sam Poloche and William Elliott of the North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections; Charlotte-Mecklenburg Officer Joshua Eyer; and Deputy U.S. Marshal Thomas Weeks.

After the attack, Biden expressed his condolences and support for the community, calling the slain officers “heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, rushing into harm’s way to protect us.”

“We must do more to protect our law enforcement officers. That means funding them – so they have the resources they need to do their jobs and keep us safe. And it means taking additional action to combat the scourge of gun violence. Now,” Biden said in a statement, calling on leaders in Congress to pass a ban on assault weapons, among other gun control measures.

Outside the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department’s North Tryon Division on Wednesday, Eyer’s patrol car was draped with an American flag and covered with flower bouquets from community members who stopped to pay their respects.

The department called the vehicle a “solemn tribute” and “visible reminder of Officer Eyer’s sacrifice and service,” in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Eyer’s memorial service is scheduled for Friday at a Charlotte Baptist church.

Also on Wednesday, a local police chief said that an officer from his force who was shot Monday underwent surgery and is expected to make a full recovery. David W. Onley, the police chief of Statesville in the Charlotte metropolitan area, expressed condolences Wednesday and “unwavering solidarity with our law enforcement brethren during this difficult time,” according to a statement released by his office.

One of the four officers injured in the attack was Cpl. Casey Hoover of the Statesville Police Department, who served on the task force. He was shot in his upper torso — an area unprotected by his bulletproof vest.

Hoover was taken by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to a Charlotte hospital, where he underwent surgery. Onley said the officer, who has worked for the Statesville police for eight years, is now stable and is expected to make a full recovery and “exemplifies the bravery and resilience of our law enforcement community.”

Law enforcement officers were still investigating Wednesday, attempting to determine a precise timeline of events and whether Hughes acted alone or with a second shooter.

Hughes’ criminal record in North Carolina goes back more than a decade. It includes prison time and convictions for breaking and entering, reckless driving, eluding arrest and illegally possessing a gun as a former felon, according to state records.

The attack was the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement in one incident since five officers were killed by a sniper during a protest in Dallas in 2016.

Some of the LPGA Tour’s most recognizable names have been taking the mound in recent MLB games to throw out ceremonial first pitches.

Thirteen-time LPGA Tour winner Stacy Lewis threw the first pitch on Wednesday, May 1, at the Seattle Mariners game against the Atlanta Braves. The U.S. Solheim Cup captain and KPMG ambassador took the mound to help promote the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, which is coming to Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Wash., in late June.

Tournament host Michelle Wie West and 2023 champion Rose Zhang both tested out their throwing skills on Friday at the Yankees game, reminding New York sports fans that the second edition of the Mizuho Americas Open will be held at Liberty National Golf Club from May 16 to 19. Yana Wilson, who won the AJGA portion of the event last year, was also in attendance.
