Travel to Namibia with OFFBEAT in the autumn of 2024! This 12-day trip will take you around some of the major landmarks in Namibia, as well as many spots off the beaten track: vast sand dunes, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, wildlife and ghost towns. With the guidance of acclaimed landscape photographer Dave Brosha, as well as four assistants, you will be able to advance your technical photo skills while documenting this incredible place.

Beginning in Windhoek the group will convene at the charming Hotel Pension Palmquell for a debriefing and preparation session. Over the following days, the itinerary unfolds with visits to the Quiver Trees area, the haunting Kolmanskop ghost town, and the surreal Sossuvlei & Deadvlei region, where participants will refine their astrophotography skills. Along the way, the adventure includes exploration of the Luderitz coastline, Sandwich Harbour, Swakopmund, and Spitzkoppe, offering diverse photographic opportunities. The journey culminates in the renowned Etosha area for wildlife photography, culminating in a celebratory group dinner.

On this adventure-filled workshop, most nights are spent sleeping in rooftop tents! This transport is quick, easy and safe and brings you right into the landscape and scenes you’ll be photographing.

We hope you’ll join us for this photography workshop in Namibia!
