Overview

Namibia is a photographer's country. This journey runs from Windhoek into the Namib-Naukluft, where you'll climb a 170-metre dune before sunrise and walk out onto the cracked white clay of Deadvlei beneath 900-year-old camel thorn skeletons. Nights are spent in desert lodges under skies with almost no light pollution, before finishing on the cold Atlantic coast at Swakopmund.
