Kalahari Namibia Safari Trips & Tours

A boundless sandy beauty that hides more wildlife than you might first expect…

Africa’s first multinational park, sweeping magnificently over Botswana, South Africa and Namibia, the Kalahari is timeless, magical and totally mystifying. Endless landscapes beckon you to a surreal Alice-through-the-looking-glass experience where trees and bushes loom large and the rocky shadows stretch to the horizon. But it’s not all blood-red dust and fiery sand dunes here; for much of the year, a luxuriant carpet of rich green grass springs up through the sands and ephemeral rivers trail quietly past enormous acacias. And the wildlife! From cheetah to caracal, lizards to lappet-faced vultures, they can all be found here, against a backdrop of pure Kalahari magic.

Things to do

What to do in Kalahari

In the early-morning or sunset coolness, game drives are very rewarding so keep your eyes peeled for springbok, zebra, jackal, cheetah, caracal, antelope and the bat-eared fox. However, there is also the chance to explore the dunes on foot or bicycle.
