Namibia is one of the most beautiful and fascinating countries in Africa, but compared to its neighbours is little visited and often missed. The dunes of the Namib desert are some of the highest and oldest in the world and the Etosha Salt pans are a unique and fascinating environment for game-viewing. Add the Skeleton Coast, Damaraland and Windhoek and you have a diverse, dramatic and fascinating holiday destination.
This tour lets you explore them all, staying in beautiful and unique properties. You travel by small plane between the properties, enjoying views of these beautiful landscapes from the air and allowing you additional time at the lodges and camps.

This is a private tour (minimum 2). It can depart on any day you wish (subject to availability).

The seemingly never ending sand dunes of Sossusvlei are a truly remarkable sight. They are reputed to be the highest in the world, and are constantly shifting. The climb to the top of one of the dunes can be gruelling under the heat of the sun and with the ever shifting sand under the feet but is worth it for the magnificent views. The dunes are broken intermittently by the few rivers that flow to the Atlantic Coast. Despite the apparent hostility of the landscape, there is plenty of wildlife and even a number of larger mammals. Overnight at the Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp.

Day 5
Full day at the Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp. Activities centre on early morning drives in 4x4 vehicles to the Sossusvlei dunes and the "vlei" itself at the end of the Tsauchab River - a dry river bed that flows only in years of exceptional rainfall. Depending on the seasonal temperature, brunch is enjoyed under the spreading camelthorn acacias in Sossusvlei before returning to camp at midday. Afternoon and ‘spotlight’ night activities take place on the private reserve exploring the desert landscape.

Expect seals to swim up and join you on the boat for something to eat, while dolphins test their marine skills. After your boat cruise, you will be transferred to the airport for your onward charter flight to Ongava Lodge, in the Etosha National Park region. Ongava Lodge is beautifully built on the scenic 66,000-hectare Ongava Game Reserve, sharing a common border with the world renowned Etosha National Park.

Ongava has resident white and black rhino, allowing guests staying at Ongava the opportunity to see both species in one location.

Day 8
Spend a full day exploring the Etosha where lion, elephant, cheetah, gemsbok, springbok, and hartebeest can be seen at many of the waterholes in the park. Spend the whole day game viewing in Etosha along the vast salt pan. The pan only holds water for a brief period each year - it teems with flamingos and pelicans in the summer. The saline and mineral residues together with moisture from perennial springs attract an immense number and variety of game and birds from mid March into November just before the new wet season starts. Despite the massive size of Etosha, only the southern edge of the pan is accessible to casual visitors. An extensive network of roads links the water holes in the central and eastern region - ideal places to sit and wait it out for game.
