Known for its contrasting landscapes, Namibia is home to the Namib Desert; said to be the oldest in the world, the majestic Fishriver Canyon and vast expanses of woodland savannah. Real Gap have been an innovative force in the gap year travel industry for several years and their latest trips are no exception; their new Namibia programmes allow travellers to see the best of this captivating country on a whirlwind tour that can last as little as 4 days! The first of the trips, the Namibia Northern 8 Day Tour, takes travellers across an incredible distance in just 8 days, from the picturesque coastal town of Swakopmund to the wilds of Okonjima. The trip gets off to a roaring start in Swakopmund where travellers will have time to explore as well as an enviable choice of activities including quad biking, sand boarding, scenic flights, parachuting, and dolphin cruises. Climbers will be delighted as the trip moves on to Spitzkoppe where they can scale the rocks, marvel at rock paintings and camp under the stars of Spitzkoppe. The tour offers plenty of opportunities for animal lovers too, with a visit to Etosha National Park, home to giraffes, lions, zebras, springboks and the stunning views o f the Etosha Pan. Travellers will camp their way through its many sights and take part in game drives and late-night wildlife spotting. The tour ends with a trip to a conservation project in Okonjima, giving participants the chance to observe Cheetahs and Leopards. Real Gap’s second Namibia offering is no less exciting and ideal for travellers with just a few days to spare.

There will also be the opportunity to indulge in some adventure sports and admire the historic buildings of Swakopmund.
