Please note: we offer an alternative tour at a more modest level, the Namibia Standard Safari. It differs from the above safari in that its tents are not ensuite, rather there is a shared bathroom tent. It visits extra places and is a little longer at 14 days. Because it is of a lower standard than the above, it is also cheaper. Please ask us for further details.
