Find Beauty in Isolation

Experience a sense of solitude and tranquillity that’s truly unique to Namibia’s arid landscapes.

Feel Safe at Every Destination

Namibia is one of Africa’s safest countries, making it a go-to destination for solo travellers who prioritise personal safety above all else.

Best Destinations for Solo Safaris in Namibia

Sossusvlei

Famous for its towering red sand dunes and surreal landscapes, Sossusvlei is stunning from ground level and from the hot air balloons floating above.

Etosha National Park

Namibia’s premier national park offers excellent guided safari opportunities with abundant wildlife – even if you prefer the entire game viewing vehicle to yourself.

Swakopmund

This coastal town is known for its adventure sports and German colonial architecture. It’s also a wonderful place to kick back and experience a beach holiday along the Atlantic coastline.

Five Tips for Solo Safaris in Namibia

1. Plan Your Route in Advance

Our safari experts are ready and waiting to craft your perfect Namibian safari itinerary. We have plenty of experience catering to solo travellers, and it pays to have everything arranged well in advance.

2. Compare Accommodations

You should only settle for the very best luxury lodges that Namibia has to offer, but make sure you do this well in advance, especially if you plan to travel during peak seasons.

3. Stay Connected

Buy an eSIM for your smartphone so you can always stay in touch with your loved ones back home. However, in many cases, your luxury lodge will have excellent Wi-Fi available.

4. Join Group Activities

Participate in guided tours or activities to meet fellow travellers. Solo travel is more popular than ever, so you’re guaranteed to meet like-minded nomads who might become friends for life.

5. Stay Informed

Keep updated on weather conditions and travel advisories, as Namibia’s climate can be extreme. Our safari experts will give you a clear outline of the best seasons to visit.
