Enjoy an Ancient Namibia Guided Tour

Experience the beauty of Namibia’s tallest mountain, Brandberg, with the help of local guides. Marvel at the 2000-year-old rock paintings, gaze in awe at the 280-million-year-old petrified forest, or admire the intricate rock engravings of Twyfelfontein. Choosing a community-based tour to explore these wonders of the world offers a fantastic experience.

Add Some Action to your Namibia Private Tour

Experience the thrilling adventure of sandboarding down one of Swakopmund’s massive sand dunes at blazing speeds of 45 mp/h! Alter Action, the first company in Namibia to offer this fantastic activity, is 100% eco-friendly, as no motors are involved, and no trace is left behind. Of course, you’ll have to carry your gear up the dune each time you want to go down – but it’s worth it

Celebrate Namibia’s Rich Cultural Heritage

Exploring a foreign culture on your Namibia guided tour can be an incredibly enriching experience – one that allows travelers to absorb local customs, rituals, and values. For example, travelers to Namibia will be captivated by the sight of the Herero tribe in their intricately hand-sewn Victorian-style dresses and horn-shaped headgear, a vibrant display of their culture and pride. Colorful patterns adorn their outfits, and many Herero women often sell traditional Herero dolls at roadside markets. By purchasing one of these dolls or other hand-crafted items, visitors will gain a souvenir and give back to the Herero tribe by supporting their economy.

 

The semi-nomadic Himba are renowned for their trademark bare chests, calf-skin clothing, and otjize paste-covered skin – a unique combination of butterfat and red ochre. Get up close and personal with the locals as they go about their daily lives, and immerse yourself in traditional Himba homelife.
