About Us
Lark Journeys is a small team of Namibian travel experts with over 20 years combined experience planning and operating personalized Namibian holidays. From a budget camping tour, to a luxury accommodated fly-in safari, a hiking expedition through the Namib Desert, or a wild and untamed experience through some of the lesser travelled parts of Namibia, it’s your Namibian adventure and we are here to help make it a reality. Namibia is easily one of Africa’s undiscovered gems with its variety of stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife areas and diverse cultural groups meaning there really is something here for everyone and our pleasure is helping you to plan your trip, and make sure it happens as seamlessly as possible. With a background in community-based tourism, we also understand the importance of ensuring that your tourism dollar trickles all the way down to those a grassroots level. This could be anything from cultural based tours where you can meet, learn about, and share your own culture with local Namibians in an environment that is beneficial for both parties, without the feeling of intruding, or abusing the rights of the community you are visiting. Alternatively, it could be from supporting activities that generate income for the communities like rhino tracking, elephant tracking, and more, all activities that give communities a sense of pride for the wildlife they live alongside.
