Namibia Landscape Photography Tour
with Richard Young & Craig Potton

Where Namibia’s desert landscapes become fine art

This is the chance to join Craig Potton and Richard Young on a photographic journey through the world’s oldest desert, dramatic dunes, remote coastlines, and iconic desert landscapes. Namibia is one of the most visually arresting countries on Earth. Vast desert plains, sculpted dunes, skeletal trees, dramatic granite inselbergs and a wild Atlantic coastline combine to create a photographer’s dream destination.

This carefully curated 11-day photographic journey explores the heart of Namibia’s desert landscapes — from the remote dunes of the NamibRand Nature Reserve and the iconic salt pans of Sossusvlei, to the coastal fogs of Swakopmund and the monumental granite peaks of Spitzkoppe.

Throughout the tour, Richard and Craig provide thoughtful guidance, creative insight, and one-on-one support—helping photographers refine their vision, respond to light, and create meaningful, exhibition-quality images. This is a journey for those who want more than photographs: it’s an opportunity to experience Namibia deeply, slowly, and creatively.

Day 1 Windhoek
The journey begins in Namibia’s capital, where guests settle into luxury accommodation and ease into the rhythm of the tour. This first evening offers time to meet fellow photographers, discuss creative goals, and prepare for the adventure ahead.
Accommodation: Windhoek Luxury Suites

Day 2–4 NamibRand Nature Reserve
A scenic journey into the heart of the Namib Desert brings us to the vast and remote NamibRand Nature Reserve. This is wilderness photography at its finest — endless dune systems, vast plains, and extraordinary desert light. We’ll photograph abstract desert forms, dune lines, textures, and vast minimalist landscapes, with time for both sunrise and sunset shoots.
Accommodation: Wolwedans Dune Camp

Day 4–7 Sossusvlei
 & Deadvlei
With early access into the Namib-Naukluft National Park, we’ll photograph one of the most extraordinary landscapes on Earth. Towering red dunes, white salt pans, and ancient camelthorn trees create surreal, graphic compositions. Multiple mornings are dedicated to Sossusvlei and Deadvlei, allowing time to work with changing light, refine compositions, and truly immerse yourself in the landscape.
Accommodation: Dead Valley Lodge. 

Day 7–10 Swakopmund
A dramatic transition from desert to ocean brings us to the Atlantic coast. Activities include a Living Desert tour (photographing palmato geckos, Namaqua chameleons and Peringuey’s adder), a visit to the Skeleton Coast, sunset over the dunes at Sandwich Harbour, and flamingos at Walvis Bay.
Accommodation: Fritz Manor 

Day 10–11 Spitzkoppe
The tour concludes at Spitzkoppe, Namibia’s “Matterhorn,” where massive granite domes rise dramatically from the desert floor. This striking landscape is perfect for bold compositions, intimate details, and night photography beneath pristine, star-filled skies. We finish the tour with a departure
 transfer to Walvis Bay International Airport.
Accommodation: Spitzkoppen Lodge.

The itinerary balances spectacular locations, early access to key sites, comfortable lodges, and expert local guiding.
