This cutting edge technology enables you, our potential guest, to view 360º virtual tours of some of the locations you may or will be visiting. These tours are designed to give the viewer an accurate impression of the beauty and magnificence of these locations.
These sightings reports are prepared by our specialist guides, with the assistance of our guests, after each and every guided safari. This enables you to keep up to date with wildlife and other extraordinary sightings that have occurred on our safaris.
Ultimate Safaris offers a number of different safari types and modes of transport, ranging from guided ground based, scheduled, guided fly-in, unaccompanied fly-in, self-drive, birding, and other specialist safaris. We also offer complete solutions for film crews wanting to work in Namibia
