What people love about Namibia Tours for Young Adults
- 11-day Namibia to Cape Town (Camping)
Elton made every aspect of this tour fantastic!
- Cape & Dunes Southbound: Desert Camping & Safari Drives
Had the perfect time!
- Cape & Dunes Northbound: Wildlife & Starry Night Skies
This trip was exceptional. A camping experience in such wildlife-rich African countries is the best way to really immerse yourself. You don't find such spectacular night skies and unique wildlife in many other countries these days due to sprawling suburbia and agriculture taking over many land areas. You will also really bond with your fellow tour members due to how interactive the tour is. I felt like we were all a close family setting up our campsite each night and cooking together. We saw so much African wildlife, and I'm not just talking about on the safari drive. We also experienced and met with African tribes. I was so sad leaving this trip, it is truly an experience to have and one you will never forget.
