Unlock the secrets of Namibia’s Arid Eden

The majestic red mountains of north-west Namibia hold secrets that few will ever witness. Hidden waterholes where desert lions, elephant, rhino and other wildlife drink, rugged landscapes carved by time, and the ancient traditions of the ovaHimba people – this is a world that does not reveal itself to the casual traveller. For those who seek a journey beyond the ordinary, Conservancy Safaris Namibia offers the key to unlocking it. 

This is no typical safari. This is an expedition into the heart of Namibia’s wildest places, guided by the people who have called it home for centuries. Our local guides – custodians of this land – will take you on a journey that is more than just breathtaking; it is life changing. This is the real Namibia, where nature and people have aways been interconnected.

Become a desert nomad

Step into the rhythm of the ovaHimba people, one of Africa’s last semi-nomadic pastoralist cultures and experience a way of life deeply intertwined with nature. Track desert-adapted wildlife across ancient riverbeds, discover secret watering holes and gaze upon matchless desert vistas. Our expeditions are not mere glimpses into another culture, they are immersive, participatory experiences that will shift the way you see the world.

Retreat to the mountains

Perched high above the sacred red Onjuva plains, Etaambura Lodge is a sanctuary of solitude. Here, where wildlife and livestock graze peacefully, the silence is profound as the sunset stretches across the endless horizon. With only a handful of chalets, this is one of Namibia’s most exclusive hideaways, a place where you can reconnect – with nature, with people and with yourself. Etaambura also serves as the perfect base for 4×4 excursions into remote parts of the Kunene Region, where adventurers can explore rugged landscapes. The lodge blends in with its surrounds, immersing visitors in nature. Each freestanding chalet enjoys its own view, allowing you space to unwind and exhale.
