On arrival, you begin your Namibian adventure with a drive to the dramatic Sossusvlei area. Sit back and enjoy the diverse landscapes as you are driven through the Khomas Hochland Mountains on your way to this exciting desert region.

Bordering the Namib-Naukluft National Park, you spend the next two nights at Kulala Adventurer Camp in the Private Kulala Wilderness Reserve. Getting up early the next morning will reward you with a spectacular view of the sun rising over the Sossusvlei dunes.

The day will be spent exploring the 91 000 acres of land where wildlife such as ostrich, springbok, oryx and fox roam freely. Activities available include day and night drives, guided walks, early morning hot-air ballooning, horse riding and quad biking (ATVs).

An early departure will see you driving through the twisting roads of the Kuiseb Canyon before arriving at the gravel plains heading toward Walvis Bay. From this sleepy coastal town, you’ll drive up the coast until you reach Swakopmund – a quaint little town wedged between the icy Atlantic Ocean and the vast Namib Desert. You’ll spend 2 nights at the Hansa Hotel, an iconic building that forms part of Swakopmund’s architectural culture.

Swakopmund allows you to explore the ocean and its abundant marine life on a catamaran cruise, spotting dolphins and seals. Visit the Oyster Platforms, see the lighthouse at Pelican Point, and marvel at the pelicans, flamingos, sunfish, and even leatherback turtles and humpback whales during the season.

Continue your journey north to Damaraland, a distinct region west of the Brandberg (Fire Mountains). Stop for lunch at Ugab Save the Rhino Trust Camp where the largest concentration of black rhino outside of a reserve is found.

Enter the ancient landscapes of Damaraland to spot some of the desert-adapted species such as the black rhino and elephant. The area boasts surprisingly large populations of wildlife including zebra, kudu, giraffe, oryx and springbok.

Enjoy a full day of activities that includes nature walks, mountain biking, exploring the ancient rock engravings at the World Heritage Site of Twyfelfontein, and going on night drives to seek out fascinating nocturnal species like owls, porcupines and aardwolf.

Drive to Ongava Tented Camp in the Ongava Game Reserve, bordering Etosha National Park. The reserve boasts not only the largest salt pan in the world but also the highest wildlife density in Namibia.

Spend the entire next day exploring this abundant region and searching for Africa’s iconic lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and other savannah species. Enjoy lunch at Halali Camp where you can stroll down to the nearby waterhole and relax in the shade while the animals come and go.

Return to your camp in Ongava Game Reserve for dinner before heading out again on optional night drives and walks to search for some of the area’s nocturnal animals.

Drive south in the morning and return to Windhoek where you will catch a flight home, or to your next safari destination.
