Enjoy strolls through the streets, appreciating the post-colonial architecture, or wander along the scenic jetty while indulging in the culinary delights offered by the splendid restaurants and bars. Your stay in Swakopmund promises a variety of thrilling excursions. Climb aboard quad bikes for an adrenaline-pumping adventure across the dunes or set sail on a catamaran cruise in Walvis Bay.

Today, you'll embark on a roughly forty-minute flight to arrive in Damaraland, characterized by its savannah plains, imposing granite domes, and a wide variety of wildlife uniquely adapted to the arid environment. Nestled among these remarkable boulders lies Camp Kipwe, an enchanting retreat that not only provides comfortable accommodations but also offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. As the sun sets below the horizon, you'll have the pleasure of savoring delectable dinners under a canopy of stars. Throughout your stay, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural wonders of the region. Embark on a Desert-Adapted Elephant and Nature drive along the dry Huab River and journey to the towering Brandberg Mountain, Namibia's largest, renowned for its famous "White Lady" rock painting.

Our trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe was already our second trip with Southbound tours and it won’t be our last. Marco really listens to your expectations and exceeds them. He makes your trip worry-free. We look forward travelling with Southbound tours again!
Axelle · Belgium
I came into contact with Marco through his services as a pilot. He was very helpfull regarding a trip through Namibia, and I ended up booking my entire trip with Southbound Tours. Marco provided excellent service throughout the entire trip. He took care of every detail including booking activities. Our trip was in July 2021 but Marco was able to care of any Covid and non- Covid related issues. He has an extensive knowledge and network of local guides, lodges and hotels. Marco provides excellent communication and documentation. His service is not only very reliable but he goes the extra mile to make your trip unforgettable. I did not hesitate to book a second trip to Botswana, Zimbabwe, part of Namibia and South Africa last november 2023. The service of Southbound Tours was again top notch !
