Namibia Photo Tour - June 2026 I have travelled extensively over the years, and I can honestly say this was one of the best photographic trips I have ever taken. Everything was exceptionally well organised, with a superb itinerary that perfectly balanced spectacular landscapes, incredible wildlife and astrophotography. From the towering dunes of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei, the Quiver Tree Forest and the ghost town of Lüderitz, to the dramatic granite peaks of Spitzkoppe and the wildlife-rich Kalahari, every day offered something new and unforgettable. Namibia's scenery is simply breathtaking, while encounters with cheetahs, giraffes, springbok, ostriches and so much more made the experience even more special. For me, the highlight was photographing the Milky Way under Namibia's amazingly dark, crystal-clear skies. Standing beneath a sky filled with thousands of stars was truly awe-inspiring and produced some of my favourite photographs of the entire trip. I also learnt a tremendous amount. Melvin and Francis were always on hand with advice and encouragement, helping everyone improve their photography in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, regardless of experience. One of the unexpected pleasures was the wonderful group of like-minded photographers. By the end of the tour, it felt more like travelling with friends than being part of an organised trip, and I've come home with some great memories and friendships. A huge thank you to Melvin and Francis for their endless enthusiasm, organisation and the many hours they spent driving us safely across Namibia's long and often challenging roads. A special thanks also to Francis, whose local knowledge, expert guiding and patience ensured we were always in the right place at the right time and made the whole journey run effortlessly. The final gem came on our last day with a three-hour visit to Okapuka Wildlife Lodge, where we were finally rewarded with sightings of magnificent white rhinos. It was the perfect ending to an already outstanding adventure. This was not my first trip with Melvin and Francis, and it certainly won't be my last. If you're looking for an unforgettable photography tour with spectacular scenery, incredible wildlife, world-class night skies and excellent company, I cannot recommend them highly enough.
