7-Day Oshili Himba and Bushmen Culture Safari

Description

We will take you on an unforgettable journey. We will begin by visiting the San community in the Otjozondjupa region, often known as the Bushmen. This safari will also take you on a wildlife experience in one of the world’s largest game parks (Etosha National Park), before continuing north to Opuwo, where we will meet the Himba (Ovahimba) people of Namibia. Etosha National Park is one of the most distinctive safari locations in southern Africa due to its uniqueness. It is situated in the north of Namibia, encircling the enormous 5,000 square kilometer Etosha saltpan, and it won’t let you down when it comes to wildlife viewing, which seems to happen simultaneously at the park’s various waterholes. It is conveniently located for a northern circuit trip because it is just about 300 miles from important Damaraland locations like Palmwag and Twyfelfontein.
