These highly specialised tours are focused on exploring Namibia's rich reptile diversity, particularly in its arid zones with high rates of endemism. The tours cover the Namib Desert, home to 70% of Namibia's endemic species, making it ideal for year-round reptile searching. Previous trips have discovered all six Bitis adder species. The central plateau and northern areas, with higher rainfall, host a variety of snake species, including Cobras, Adders, and the Black Mamba. Endemic geckos and lizards, such as the Marais Gecko, are also found. The rainy summer months are best for spotting amphibians along the escarpment and northeast Namibia.
