Description

This unique field expedition, led by a wildlife ecologist explores the landscapes, ecosystems, diversity of wildlife, conservation challenges and parks of Namibia. You will experience behind the scenes activities and discover considerably more than on a typical African safari.

Traveling through Namibia, it's stark beauty is portrayed by savannas, vast plains, mountains, canyons and deserts that attract the true nature lover.

Under the big blue skies a sense of peace and tranquility is all encompassing where you experience a feeling of getting away from it all.
