Namibia
Unlike the game parks of South and East Africa that are being visited by more tourists every year, Namibia is one of Africa’s hidden gems. With the right determination, true adventurers can unlock the real potential of this far away paradise.
Amid one of the greatest landmarks in the world, the Namib Desert, this is a locale unlike anywhere else on the globe. The unique plants and animals you will discover are uniquely adapted to this region and may not be found anywhere else on earth.
This is an adventurer and photographer’s trip of a lifetime.
From the large expansive rivers to the flowing dunes, and the beaches and rocky mountains -there is no shortage of breathtaking scenery. Travel the path less taken and find yourself on a journey like no other.
Wildlife, landscapes, ghost towns and memories await you when you travel Namibia with Expedition Wild.

What Makes This Expedition Wild Trip Amazing?
This is not your normal vacation. This is a journey that is built to provide you the best opportunity to experience the wild power and majesty of nature with as little interference as possible.

1. Limited group sizes on each encounter
Each Expedition Wild trip is geared around helping you get as close as possible to nature without disrupting your experience with the needs or noise of a large group.
This allows you to get to more remote areas and have a much more personalized experience. This also helps reduce the environmental impact on the developing area.
2. Specially selected photo safari guides
Our naturalist guides are specially trained to provide you the ultimate experience. These group leaders will be with you from start to finish and can provide tons of advice and guidance on the area and how to take the very best photographs. All guides are accomplished and knowledgeable photographers on top of their other skills.
3. Experience Africa on foot
For those who desire to get even more up close and personal with the land, there are guided bush tours you can join in on. Climb the sand dunes of Sossusvlei, the tallest in the world or walk amongst the brush of Namibia. See a whole world that those confined to the vehicles can never see.
4. A one-stop destination with endless encounters
Namibia is one of the most diverse countries in the most diverse continent. This not only applies to the tribes and cultures you may encounter but the landscapes as well.
Each location in Namibia has its tastes, sights, and sounds for you to discover. You will really see how new experiences are endless in Africa are when you take a trip to Namibia.

5. Nature to yourself
Namibia is one of the least densely populated countries in the world. This is due to the expansive tracts of desert and other natural phenomena that limit the spread of humanity. This means your group can find somewhere where you really feel like you have space to breathe.
6. Celebrate a land of conservation
There is so much of Namibia worth preserving that it is no surprise that they are the first on the planet to incorporate environmental protection into its Constitution. Help support and bring more money into a system deserving of our help.
7. The Road Less Traveled
While most people will take a trip to Italy or London at some point in their life, others desire to venture somewhere a little less tame, something with a little more adventure to it. Namibia is both a comfortable destination and one very few outside of the well researched really have on their radar.
This is an opportunity to present something entirely new to your social sphere through photography and stories. Maybe you will even start a trend back home.

A Thrilling Journey With a Photography Safari
For many, the chance to take rare and beautiful photos of exotic animals and locales is the highlight of their trip. An African safari built around giving you the best photo opportunities possible can ensure you will have photos and memories to remember for generations.
The driver-guides that will accompany you on these journeys are specially trained and passionate about both the animals, but also photography. These experts can help you adjust our camera and find the perfect light and angle for that ultimate photo.
A photo safari allows you to venture into the landscape and view it with a whole new purpose. No longer simply seeing the sights, you are now examining and focusing on them.
Get a whole new view on the world by seeing a piece of the continent rarely visited by the outside world, and take the time to truly capture it in photo form for yourself and others.

Next stop we are off to the infamous abandon buildings of the Kolmanskop ghost town where we search for which treasures are to be found buried in the sand.

The town offers a rare glimpse into how Mother Nature can take over a scene and turn into a photographer’s wonderland.
