Limited time but still want to explore some of Namibia's highlights? Then you could consider a shorter trip that focuses on the northern areas of Etosha and Damaraland. Choose from a host of land and ocean activities in the coastal town of Swakopmund and then look out for desert-adapted wildlife and ancient rock-art in the vast rocky deserts of Damaraland. Next see the game in the Etosha National Park one of the world's best places to view animals as the jostle to get to the water holes. Your journey ends at the inspirational Africat project, Okonjima where you can get close up to rescued big cats. This is a wonderful experience and one we highly recommend.
