On this birding safari we will try and find Namibia's only true endemic and all the near endemics in the country. During our safari we will cover most of central Namibia, the central Coastline, Etosha National Park as well as Kaokoland and the Kunene River.
Our safari will start in the capital, Windhoek and from there we continue through the Namib Desert and the coastal town of Walvis Bay and Swakopmund which are known for the high concentration of waders. Then we move north to the Erongo Mountains and Damaraland before going all the way to Namibia's northern border with Angola, the Kunene River for some localised birding specials. From here we head for Namibia's most famous national park, Etosha before we finish the safari off in the scenic Waterberg Plateau National Park. Besides the brilliant birding opportunities we will enjoy great game viewing and great scenery in one of the most beautiful countries on earth.

If you are unable to embark on a long birding safari, even a day trip to the hotspots around Windhoek will yield some highly satisfying birding. A lot of the Namibian endemics and other specials can be found close to the capital. A possible 2 or 3 day extension to include the coast and escarpment will increase the diversity of birds you can find in a short space of time.
