Namibia Photo Workshop

OVERVIEW

June 26 - July 6, 2024
11 Day/10 Night Safari
$12,225 USD**

Instructors: Jennifer King and Randy Wilson

Namibia is host to one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world, and is a location that photographers dream of experiencing! This landscape hosts the tallest sand dunes in the world, glowing red in color and rising 1000 feet off of the desert floor. Stark fossilized trees on a white clay desert floor will add a stunning element to your photography. And if this is not enough beauty to entice you, Quiver Trees under a night sky, and the coastal seascapes of Namibia will provide you with incredible opportunities.

Should you choose to arrive a day early, we can assist you in booking a room near the airport.

You should also plan to fly out of Windhoek (WDH) International Airport either the night of July 6 or morning of July 7. There are evening international flights to the US depending on your airline of choice. If you have a morning flight, we can assist you in booking a room at an airport hotel.
