Holiday of a lifetime in Namibia

Namibia might not seem like the most obvious holiday destination for most Brits, but it's actually a favourite cruise destination amongst discerning international travellers. A Royal Caribbean African tour package includes a stay in Lüderitz, a small Namibian harbour town and also allows you to take in Zanzibar. A cruise to Namibia promises you breathtakingly awesome views, magical experiences and memorably luxurious accommodation.
African Adventures
It's not all about relaxation, though. If you're interested in sport, a trip to Namibia is the ideal way to indulge your passion. Whether your thing is extreme sports, swimming or even winter sports, there's something here for you in Namibia. For amazing adventures, why not head to Swakopmund, on the Atlantic Ocean? Swakopmund is a stunning desert location where you can enjoy a wealth of extreme sports, including quad-biking, sand boarding and even sky-diving.
Walkers and ramblers will enjoy the chance to cross the desert on foot. To test yourself to the limit, there are extreme trekking tours which take you through high dunes and the central plateau, ending in the famously barren Kalahari Desert. Walking through the African deserts, you'll get to see the enormous game reserve at the Etosha National Park and may even have the chance to spot a black rhino, one of the rarest species on earth. Twyfelfontein is also among the wonders which you can experience if you choose a desert trekking trip. Namibia's answer to Stonehenge, Twyfelfontein is an incredible work of art, dating from the Stone Age and set in the midst of the African desert.
Things to see and do
The wonders of the Namib desert are at your fingertips in this incredible location. While horse-riding and pony trekking is immensely popular in this part of Africa, there are unique opportunities for you to experience things you'd never see at home. In Namibia you can ride on the back of an elephant or even experience the magic of the African desert whilst sitting atop a camel. An elephant ride will show you beautiful sites including the incredible Skeleton Coast. Why not try out Namibia's alternative safari experience on horseback; this incredible trip will enable you to see elephants, rhinos, cheetahs and plains game at close quarters. There's even something for the little ones here, with Zesel trekking trips proving a favourite with younger travellers. A Zesel is a cross between a donkey and a zebra, and is perfect for kids to ride along the desert.
Indulgent Breaks
For those who prefer a little more luxury, A short stay in this South West African country is the ideal way to indulge and recharge your batteries. Namibia has some stunning resorts, and is also known for its health spas. Favourite luxury locations in Namibia include the Mowani Mountain Camp. Here you can enjoy all the beauty of the African landscape without compromising on comfort. High on the rocky mountains of Mowani, this resort is no ordinary campsite. The Mowani Mountain promises fully equipped luxury tents with en-suite facilities and luxurious bedding. These exquisite tents really are the best way to make the most of the African experience. You can enjoy the calm of a Namibian night and listen to the sounds of the native animals, whilst being assured of comfort and safety.
Other top accommodation options in Namibia include the Lake Oanob Resort, in Rehoboth.
