Extraordinary Journeys, the award-winning tour operator known for crafting luxury and adventure itineraries around the globe, announces Walking Wild in Namibia, a new, 12-night itinerary that invites travelers to slow down and connect deeply with Namibia’s wild beauty. This itinerary is an invitation to explore Namibia on foot, through a carefully crafted sequence of experiences that showcase the country’s breathtaking diversity and vast landscapes in an entirely new way. From tracking rhinos and desert elephants on foot to sleeping beneath the stars on remote dunes, this unforgettable journey through savannahs, salt pans, ancient valleys, and rust-red deserts is designed for the truly adventurous traveler looking to discover the art of slow travel.
Namibia is one of the last places on Earth where you can track black rhinos, walk unaccompanied in unfenced wilderness, and sleep in open-air beds beneath a blanket of stars. It’s a destination where ancient cultures, otherworldly landscapes, and cutting-edge conservation intersect. This new itinerary from Extraordinary Journeys showcases the country’s diversity, both geographically, culturally, and ecologically, while offering travelers the opportunity to travel meaningfully while treading lightly.
“We specialize in crafting immersive, tailor-made experiences that invite travelers to step outside the confines of the vehicle and their comfort zone,” says Elizabeth Gordon, CEO and Co-Founder of Extraordinary Journeys. “Walking Wild in Namibia is a perfect example of that philosophy. Our Namibia itinerary reflects that mission: from exclusive walking safaris to nights under the stars, it’s designed for travelers who want to go deeper. It’s about slowing down and seeing the country up close: tracking black rhino on foot, sleeping under a canopy of stars, and spending time with conservationists who are deeply rooted in the land. It’s raw, it’s beautiful, and it’s transformational.”
Spanning remote private reserves, UNESCO-listed cultural landmarks, and iconic sandscapes, Walking Wild in Namibia offers a curated blend of game drives, immersive walking safaris, and conservation experiences. This itinerary is an intimate exploration of Namibia’s vast and varied wilderness. This is not just a trip, it’s a journey that awakens the senses.
