Hiking Programs Abroad

Do you spend your days staring out the window, wishing you could wander around in nature instead? Is wearing muddy shoes a point of pride for you? Would you rather spend your summer outdoors, hiking through the wilderness? A hiking tour abroad can offer you the chance to spend time outside while getting up close and personal with local wildlife, plants, and communities. Whether you’re interested in observing penguins for a conservation project or want to challenge yourself on a high-altitude mountain trek, a hiking trip abroad is the perfect way to immerse yourself in a new environment.

Amazing Safari and Namibia Tour

August 07, 2025by: Janet Friant - United StatesProgram: Personalized Namibia Safaris and Adventures

Just say yes and they will do the rest! We did a 2 week visit to Namibia- one week touring the beauty that the country has to offer- living desert tours, climbing sand dunes and visiting Dead Vlei. There were pockets of free time, and our guides help us make the best of it- exploring towns and kayaking with seals- outstanding!! The second week was safari rides with breathtaking animal sightings. Our guides were knowledgeable about the land and animal behavior. There was no question that they couldn't answer for us! The amount and variety of animals we saw during our time was incredible- herds of zebra at a watering hole, night sightings of rhinos and elephants, leopard and so much more! Our accommodations were first class throughout, and the tour company does a great job with lodging, food variety and being mindful of food allergies/intolerances. The attention to detail in planning the trip, outlining what we needed to do/where we needed to go was seamless. Once we arrived, all the decisions were fun. Highly recommend Nature Travel Namibia and will travel with them again.

On my Korea trip, I met some really cool people, had life changing experiences and made so many new connections. I really bonded with everyone on the trip and the group leaders were so amazing. 10/10 would go on another trip!!
