Summary

Approximately 224 species of butterfly are known from Namibia and on this holiday we'll join Namibian expert naturalist and lepidopterist, Steve Braine, in search of the country's most striking species.

This special itinerary has been expertly crafted by our Namibia-based guides to encompass the best of Namibian butterfly habitats, using hand-chosen hotels and lodges as we go. We'll explore pro-Namib vegetation types, Acacia scrub and large granite inselberg, riparian woodlands, permanent rivers, swamps and floodplain areas. We shall also make an exciting excursion exploring the Waterberg, a large sandstone plateau with a sandy Kalahari habitat on top with well established Acacia scrub and Ficus woodland on the edges.

We can also happily arrange tour extensions to visit Etosha, Okonjima, and other areas of Namibia. Please do get in touch should this be of interest.
