South Africa & Namibia

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

South Africa and Namibia together form one of Africa's most iconic travel corridors, spanning the southern tip of the continent from the Cape Winelands and Kruger National Park to the vast dunes of the Namib Desert and the wildlife-rich Etosha Pan. South Africa draws travellers for world-class safari experiences, dramatic coastlines along the Garden Route, vibrant cities like Cape Town and Johannesburg, and a rich cultural heritage. Namibia is renowned for Sossusvlei's towering red sand dunes, the otherworldly Skeleton Coast, and some of the continent's best self-drive adventures. Together, they attract independent and group travellers seeking big-five wildlife, extreme landscapes, and deep cultural encounters.

Cape and Namibia Adventure — Self-Launched

A self-launched version of G Adventures' 12-day Cape and Namibia Adventure, running overland from Cape Town to Windhoek. You'll cover the same ground — the Cape's west coast and !Khwa ttu San Culture Centre, the Orange River, Fish River Canyon and Giant's Playground, the towering red dunes of Sossusvlei, adventure-mad Swakopmund, and wildlife drives in Etosha National Park — using backpacker shuttles, shared 4x4s and self-booked activities instead of a group tour truck. Costs are approximate per person in GBP, based on budget hostel/guesthouse rates and shared transport. Building your own route this way typically costs a fraction of the operator's price, but expect more planning, earlier starts and the odd long travel day.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for South Africa & Namibia yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
