31 Jul 2019 - Last month, award-winning* tour operator Llama Travel launched holidays to southern Africa, with 20 itineraries to South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Victoria Falls.
Namibia is very much in vogue at the moment*, attracting visitors who wish to discover its otherworldly landscapes, fantastic wildlife and unique culture.
“Namibia is surprisingly diverse, and different from anywhere I have ever been. In Damaraland, a wild, rocky region in northwestern Namibia, you'll find Palmwag, a remote wildlife lodge. The region is unfenced, and therefore vast. It is home to black rhino and elephant that have adapted to the dry, rocky conditions. An incredible activity on offer is rhino tracking, where you head out with a tracker into the wilderness on foot to spot this endangered species. This was definitely a highlight for me.” - Scott Mathias, Product Manager at Llama Travel Africa.
The 15 day / 12 night Wildlife and Wilderness of Namibia itinerary starts from £2799 per person including flights from the UK, transportation, accommodation and many activities.
For bookings made before the end of September 2019, we are also including for free a package of three optional excursions, worth £159.
The holiday begins in the capital city of Windhoek, going south to the Kalahari Desert, then to the incredible Sossusvlei Dunes and onwards to Swakopmund on the Skeleton Coast. From there, you head inland to Damaraland, with desert-adapted wildlife, stopping at the Twyfelfontein rock art on the way. The holiday finishes in Etosha National Park, one of Africa’s great wildlife reserves, home to rhino, elephant, lion, cheetah, giraffe, zebra and more.
Customers can also extend their trips with visits to Cape Town and Victoria Falls, providing a level of flexibility not usually available at these prices.
As well as Namibia, Llama Travel Africa is offering a 14 day / 11 night holiday to Botswana and Victoria Falls from £3499 and a 13 day / 10 night holiday South Africa from £1849.
