Simba
Swahili for lion
The word safari comes from Swahili and means “journey.” Inspired by this connection, we named our itineraries after animals in Swahili. Each animal reflects the character of a different journey, from Namibia’s desert and coast to adventures across Southern Africa.
Simba means lion in Swahili. The lion’s bold presence inspired the name of this journey, which introduces travellers to Namibia’s remarkable landscapes, wildlife and character.
