Namibia Gap Year

Namibia Gap year programmes to leave you speechless. Namibia, is a stunning gap year destination, with out a doubt, the jewel in the crown of pure African wilderness. Much of Namibia is awe inspiring in its setting, with beautiful scenery as the back drop for some incredible wildlife conservation and volunteering programmes. From desserts to Swakopmund Namibia's centre for adrenaline travel, regardless of what you see or do on your Namibia gap year, you will find it quite spectacular there.


Namibia is one of those destinations that you have to see at least once in your lifetime, and there is no better time to do it than on your gap year. With ease of travel from the UK and relatively easy overland crossings from South Africa, many combine their trip with a South Africa Gap Year, this is easy to do when backpacking or on an Africa overland tour.

So what is there to see and do in Namibia? Plenty, and if you are looking for the wow factor, or looking to explore ancient lands then you will be at home here. With natural spectacles like Fish river Canyon, one of the largest on earth, you are guaranteed to have some moments of awe. Then you have the Skeleton coast, justly named as it is one of the most uninhabitable places on earth, it is certainly the driest.

Etosha National park known as the great white place is also impressive, a 5000 square mile salt pan, delivering an out of this world experience to all who view it. The wildlife in this region is some of the best you will see on your Africa Gap Year as well.
