Introduction

Namibia is otherworldly in its extremes, making it an ideal choice for families with adventurous teens. It allows you to take part in a wealth of varied activities within the confines of one country. Embark on marine-based activities in Swakopmund, self-drive safaris in Etosha National Park, desert adventures in Sossusvlei and ancient, cultural discoveries in Twyfelfontein. It is also one of only two destinations in the world to witness desert-adapted elephants.

What people are saying

OROKO created the honeymoon of our dreams in South Africa. The consultation process was very laid-back and conversational. The whole process overall was really quite quick and smooth. There was no trawling through the internet for hours late at night, weighing up costs and reviews of hotels and transfer companies etc – it was all done for us based on the OROKO travel experts’ experiences – which we found to be absolutely spot on. Choosing a ‘luxury travel’ company was a little daunting: We wanted a special honeymoon without spending silly money – and OROKO worked very well with this brief. Believe me when I say our accommodation could not have been more perfect for us. It really was the holiday of our dreams.
