A safari designed for every member of the family — from the youngest to the oldest.
Our Family Safari is created to offer a safe, engaging, and rewarding safari experience for travellers of all ages. This journey balances wildlife encounters, comfortable travel, and flexible planning to ensure every family member enjoys the adventure.
With careful attention to pace and accommodation, this safari allows families to explore Namibia together while creating meaningful shared memories — with shorter driving days and a gentler schedule than our touring itineraries.
Welcome to Namibia. Private transfer from Hosea Kutako and overnight in Windhoek. Time to relax after the flight.
Scenic drive south-west to the Sesriem area, with photo stops along the way. Check in at Desert Quiver Camp — private chalets with a pool, perfect after a travel day.
A relaxed morning visit to the dunes — children love climbing them, and the visit can be tailored to little legs. Afternoon at the lodge pool.
Drive west to Swakopmund. The cool coastal air is a welcome break. Check in at the Strand Hotel Swakopmund — beachfront and walkable to everything.
A full free day for family activities — quad biking, sandboarding, dolphin cruise, or simply relaxing at the beach. Plenty of family-friendly restaurants for dinner.
Drive inland to Midgard Country Estate — around four to five hours, with stops. A welcome change of pace: nature walks, horse riding for children, swimming, and quiet evenings.
Final breakfast before the short drive back to Windhoek. Drop-off at Hosea Kutako International Airport.

Accommodation is subject to availability. The properties above are the lodges we aim to use on this journey. They are confirmed only once your booking is made and the lodge has accepted it. Where a property is unavailable for your dates, we will propose an alternative of an equivalent standard and location, and confirm it with you before booking.
Wildlife is wild. Game drives are planned around the seasons, waterholes and movements that give the best realistic chance of rewarding sightings, but no operator can guarantee that any particular animal will be seen. Routes and drive times may be adjusted for road, weather or park conditions, always in consultation with you.
Namibia is a year-round destination, but each season offers something different. Here's what to expect when planning your safari — and what each window is best for.
Peak game-viewing season. Days are warm, nights cold. Animals concentrate around waterholes. Ideal for wildlife and photography.
The best wildlife months — Etosha's pans are at their busiest. Days are very hot. Book early as lodges fill up.
The wet months. Lush landscapes, dramatic skies, fewer crowds, lower rates. Birding is exceptional. Some roads can be tricky.
The desert can be visited any time. Cooler months are most comfortable, but the dunes are spectacular year-round.
Tell us a little about your travel plans and we’ll reply within one business day. An enquiry is a conversation, not a booking — nothing is reserved until you have approved a written itinerary.
