Geographic Expeditions has launched its first women-focused itinerary with a trip exploring the wonders of Namibia, Africa.
The women-only journey through Namibia is designed not only to celebrate the country’s landscapes and wildlife, but also its extraordinary achievements for women and girls: Namibia leads Africa in terms of gender equality (and, according to the World Economic Forum, surpasses much of Europe and the United States).
Throughout the intimate group trip, safari drives, nature walks and scenic flights will connect guests to the country, further enriched by conversations with female artisans, entrepreneurs, conservationists, mothers and teachers, all of whom are building a bright future for Namibia’s communities, cultures and wild landscapes.
