Namibia ‘The Real Deal’

Arrive at Windhoek, you will be met and transferred to your stylish boutique hotel to relax after your flight. 

Stay: One night in a luxury room at Olive Grove Guesthouse – bed & breakfast 

Neighbouring the Namib-Naukluft National Park in southern Namibia, the 200,000-hectare NamibRand Nature Reserve boasts one of the country’s most striking landscapes, complete with sweeping desert plains, craggy mountains, fairy circles and fiery red dunes.

From your well-positioned lodge, you’ll set out on scenic drives, nature walks and quad biking excursions – keeping an eye out for wildlife like gemsbok, Burchell’s zebra and the bat-eared fox along the way. You can even traverse the landscape on horseback, enjoy hot air balloon flights and embark on day trips to the mighty sand dunes of Sossusvlei. A designated International Dark Sky Reserve, the area’s stargazing opportunities are phenomenal.

Today you’ll catch a flight to Sesfontein, transferring to your camp in northwestern Namibia’s Kaokoland. Rugged, remote and incredibly beautiful, Kaokoland is roamed by a remarkable array of desert-adapted wildlife who make their home amidst the region’s rocky mountains, sand dunes and desert. 

You’ll be able to explore the area on foot and by vehicle, tracking elephants, giraffes and the endangered black rhino along the ancient, dry riverbeds. Bird watchers will have the opportunity to spot Monterio’s hornbills and Verreaux’s eagles in the valleys, while visits to nomadic Himba settlements offer a unique insight into life in this isolated region.

Another light aircraft flight now brings you to the exclusive Etosha Heights Private Reserve neighbouring Namibia’s celebrated Etosha National Park. The area is renowned for its prolific display of wildlife, with elephants, big cats, hippos, wildebeest, antelope and both black and white rhinos roaming free and unobstructed across the flat savannah. 

When not enjoying guided game drives or bush walks, you can wildlife-watch from the comfort of your own room or get close-ups in the double-tiered photography hide. You can even experience the magic of the Namibian bush after dark on an exciting night-time game drive. 

Stay: Two nights in a luxury room at Safarihoek Lodge – full board

Leaving Etosha Heights behind, today you fly back to Namibia’s charming capital, Windhoek, where you can unwind after your safari. Otherwise you can wander the cafe-lined streets and markets, admire the colonial architecture and learn more about the city’s history in its museums.
