Field Expedition in Namibia
Location: Namibia: Rural Areas, Swakopmund, Windhoek
Description
This unique field expedition, led by a wildlife ecologist explores the landscapes, ecosystems, diversity of wildlife, conservation challenges and parks of Namibia. You will experience behind the scenes activities and discover considerably more than on a typical African safari.
Traveling through Namibia, it's stark beauty is portrayed by savannas, vast plains, mountains, canyons and deserts that attract the true nature lover.

Under the big blue skies a sense of peace and tranquility is all encompassing where you experience a feeling of getting away from it all.
