UBON Safari | Namibia

Namibia isn’t just a place you visit. You experience it.

You feel the wind shaping the dunes of the Namib Desert, hear the silence of the Skeleton Coast, and see the sun set over the red sand stretching endlessly. You watch desert-adapted elephants move quietly across the plains, and you stand still as the stars blaze bright in the clear night sky.

At Ubon Safari, we offer more than just luxury safaris – we craft journeys that connect you deeply to Namibia’s wild heart. We know the land intimately, and we’re here to share its vast landscapes, rare wildlife, and timeless beauty with you in a way that’s immersive, authentic and unforgettable.

Namibia is a land of extremes and contrasts. It’s where desert meets sea, where rugged mountains frame sweeping plains, and where wildlife has adapted to survive in some of the harshest environments on Earth.

Here, landscapes are vast and crowds are rare. You might spend a whole day watching gemsbok traverse the sand under wide skies with nothing but silence around you. Namibia invites you to slow down, to listen, to breathe, and to connect with a wilderness that feels both ancient and alive.

At night, the sky is a spectacle like no other – millions of stars shining with clarity that makes the bush come alive in a different way. Whether you visit in the dry season or the rare rains, Namibia’s magic is constant.

The Namib Desert is the oldest desert in the world and a place of stark beauty. Towering red dunes rise against a brilliant blue sky, shifting and changing with every gust of wind. This is where the iconic Sossusvlei lies – a clay pan surrounded by some of the tallest dunes on Earth.

Sossusvlei is a highlight for any visitor, with its breathtaking dunes like Big Daddy and Dune 45 offering unforgettable climbs and views. At sunrise, the sand glows golden, creating picture-perfect moments and a deep sense of wonder. Nearby, Deadvlei’s bleached camel thorn trees stand as silent witnesses to a long-gone lake, creating a surreal, haunting landscape.

Explore on foot or by 4x4, watch oryx and springbok navigate the arid landscape, and experience the silence that fills every corner.

Best for: Dune climbing, photography, desert hiking, star gazing.

When to go: April–October for dry clear skies and cooler temperatures; November–March for the occasional green season surprises.

Damaraland’s rocky outcrops, dry riverbeds and ancient rock art sites tell stories of a land shaped by time. It’s one of the best places to find desert-adapted elephants and black rhinos, as well as endemic species like the Damara dik-dik.

Guided walks, tracking, and visits to UNESCO-listed Twyfelfontein rock engravings bring you closer to Namibia’s heritage and wildlife in an intimate way.

Best for: Desert wildlife, cultural heritage, walking safaris.

When to go: May–September for dry season clarity and wildlife activity.

Best for: Birding, boating, fishing, remote wilderness.

When to go: November–April for green season abundance; May–October for dry season accessibility.
