Namibia, named after the ancient Namib Desert with its striking red sand dunes, is a land of remarkable landscapes, teeming wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. Located in southwestern Africa, it borders Angola, Zambia, Botswana, South Africa, and the wild Atlantic coast to the west. Namibia is a young nation that proudly upholds conservation as a core value, showcasing its unspoiled beauty and unique ethnography. The Okonakonwa Expedition, meaning “the act of discovering” in the Ovambo language, reflects the essence of this route. This exceptional tour begins south of the capital, Windhoek, taking you to the legendary Kalahari Desert, a vast sea of sand shared with neighboring countries. From there, youโ€™ll journey to the dramatic Fish River Canyonโ€”the largest in Africa and the second largest in the world.
