Authentic Namibian Adventures, Guided with Heart.

Join M.A.D Travels and Tours on an unforgettable 12-day journey through Namibia – a land of dramatic contrasts, ancient landscapes, and raw beauty. This guided adventure takes you from the golden dunes of the Kalahari to the iconic Sossusvlei, along the wild Atlantic coast, through rugged Damaraland, and deep into the wildlife-rich heart of Etosha National Park. Along the way, you’ll experience real connection – with nature, culture, and the spirit of Namibia.

We kick off in Windhoek and head straight into the wild – the Kalahari Desert welcomes you with rolling red dunes and magical sunsets. On Day 1, you’ll enjoy a scenic sundowner drive and your first taste of the vast, open wilderness Namibia is famous for.

Next, we journey west to the Namib Desert, home of Sossusvlei. Wake early for a sunrise climb of Dune 45 or Big Daddy, then wander the eerie white clay pan of Deadvlei, where ancient trees stand frozen in time. Explore Sesriem Canyon, carved over millions of years, and soak in the stark beauty of this ancient landscape.

From sand to sea, we cruise into Swakopmund, where the desert meets the Atlantic Ocean. With two nights here, Day 5 is yours to shape: go quad biking on the dunes, take a dolphin cruise from Walvis Bay, try your hand at sandboarding, or just enjoy the cafés, markets, and laid-back charm of this coastal town.

Then it’s off to Damaraland, one of Namibia’s most remote and spectacular regions. Keep your eyes peeled for desert-adapted elephants, and visit optional sites like the Twyfelfontein rock engravings, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The scenery here is simply out of this world.

Our safari heats up as we enter Etosha National Park. Over two thrilling days, you'll track lions, elephants, rhinos, and giraffes across both the southern and northern sections of the park. With your M.A.D guide at the wheel, you’ll get expert insights and plenty of time at key waterholes for unforgettable wildlife moments.

Our final stop is the lush Waterberg Plateau, a dramatic rise of red sandstone cliffs and green forests. Take a guided hike, track rhino (optional), or just relax and breathe it all in before we make our way back to Windhoek for your departure.
