Travelling in a small group, this exciting photography tour explores one of the world's most stunning countries. From the giant dunes of the Namib Desert and the quiver tree forests of the Kalahari to the surf-strafed Skeleton Coast and rust-red mountains of Damaraland, you'll experience the very best of Namibia.

Why this trip?

Having explored all corners of Namibia on numerous visits, I think this photography tour includes the best combination of locations and experiences in a 14-day itinerary. It's been carefully designed to allow enough time to really immerse yourself in the place, with plenty of two-night stays. As well as essential  photographic moments, like witnessing sunrise at Deadvlei in the heart of the Namib Desert or watching dusk enflame the ochre-coloured massif of Spitzkoppe, we will seek out other subjects to focus our cameras on – whether it's the Milky Way arching over a grove of quiver trees, a herd of elephants drinking at a waterhole in Etosha or patterns of light and shade creeping through the desert-consumed houses of Kolmanskop.

Throughout the tour, you'll receive as much one-to-one tuition on landscape, astro and wildlife photography as you like. I'll offer tips and suggestions on how you can take your photography to the next level. We'll hold relaxed critiques of each other's images and learn how to continue the creative process in Lightroom.

We'll travel in comfort with our friendly driver at the wheel of a spacious minibus with room for luggage, camera bags and tripods. Accommodation includes a fantastic line-up of lodges, safari camps, farmsteads and guesthouses, with most meals included. We'll also have coffee, tea, cool drinks and snacks on board the minibus.

Our journey around Namibia will be full of incredible photo locations, but you will also be able to enjoy several exciting excursions – all included – that range from guided hikes and game drives to sea kayaking.
