Twiga
Swahili for giraffe
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.
Twiga means giraffe in Swahili. Inspired by the giraffe’s grace and far-reaching view, this journey is about taking in Namibia’s sweeping landscapes and enjoying the beauty found along the way.
