Arrival in Windhoek

Welcome to Namibia! Upon arrival, we are met by our guide and transferred to Windhoek. After time to settle in, we enjoy a short city tour and gain a first impression of Namibia’s capital, with its blend of history, culture and modern city life. The day ends with dinner and a relaxed start to our safari.

Kgalagadi Region

Continuing through the Kalahari via Stampriet and Gochas, we travel towards Mata Mata, the gateway to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. This region is characterised by red dunes, open grasslands and excellent wildlife viewing. In the afternoon, we enjoy a nature drive and look out for oryx, springbok, red hartebeest, bat-eared fox and other species found in the Kalahari.

Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park

A full day is dedicated to exploring the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Accompanied by experienced guides, we search for cheetah, black-maned Kalahari lions, leopard, hyena, jackal and other wildlife that inhabit this desert region. The park’s red dunes, dry riverbeds and open landscapes make it one of Southern Africa’s most distinctive safari destinations.

Fish River Canyon

Continuing through southern Namibia, we travel to the Fish River Canyon, one of the country’s best-known natural attractions. By afternoon, we reach the canyon and enjoy views across this impressive geological formation, which stretches for approximately 160 kilometres. The remainder of the day is free to relax and take in the surroundings before dinner.

Aus

Leaving the Fish River Canyon region behind, we travel west towards Aus. Along the way, the landscape gradually changes as we move closer to the Namib Desert. In the afternoon, there is an opportunity to visit the wild horses of Garub, which have become one of the area’s best-known attractions. Our accommodation is situated in the Aus Mountains, providing a comfortable base for exploring this part of southern Namibia.

Namib Desert

This morning, we enjoy the landscapes of the NamibRand Nature Reserve before continuing north towards the Sossusvlei region. Along the way, we may encounter wildlife such as oryx, springbok and ostrich. Our lodge is located close to the entrance of the Namib-Naukluft National Park, providing an ideal base for exploring Sossusvlei. Depending on the time available, there may also be an opportunity to visit Sesriem Canyon.

Khomas Highland & Sossusvlei

(Silver) Leaving the Namib Desert behind, we travel towards the Khomas Highlands. Along the way, there is an opportunity to stop in Solitaire and cross the Spreetshoogte Pass, one of Namibia’s best-known mountain passes. By afternoon, we reach our lodge in the Khomas Highlands, where there is time to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

(Gold) An early start takes us into the Namib-Naukluft National Park and to the famous dunes of Sossusvlei. We visit Deadvlei, where ancient camelthorn trees stand on a white clay pan surrounded by red dunes. Those who wish may also climb Big Daddy, one of the highest dunes in the area. If time permits, we may also visit Sesriem Canyon before returning to the lodge.
