Days 1 & 2: The Namib Desert - Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp

Late morning of your first day you depart from Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, by light aircraft and head for Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp, approximately an hour's flight away.

During your stay in the Namib Desert you can partake in inclusive activities such as scenic drives in 4x4 vehicles and a safari which takes you to the very end of the seasonal Tsauchab River and on to the heart of Sossusvlei, where fantastic photo opportunities of the vast sea of red sand dunes abound. In the late afternoon, time is yours to explore the reserve around the camp.

For a magical experience you can see the colours of the desert come alive on an early morning ballooning trip which can be arranged at extra cost. (This must be booked in advance).

Days 3, 4: The Skeleton Coast, Swakopmund and Damaraland – Damaraland Camp

You depart by light aircraft and fly over the rippling dunes of the Namib and Sossusvlei, gaining a different perspective of this spectacular area. You continue westwards to Meob Bay on the Atlantic Ocean and then fly up the Skeleton Coast.

The flight offers breathtaking desert and Skeleton Coast scenery, where the dunes and the desert meet the Atlantic Ocean. You pass over the site of the Eduard Bolen shipwreck, Conception Bay and the wreck site of the Shaunee, around Sandwich Harbour and its famous lagoon; you see the flamingoes at Walvis Bay and eventually land in Swakopmund. Here you are met and transferred to Walvis Bay for a boat trip out to sea where you are likely to see dolphins, seals and the occasional penguin or whale.

In the afternoon you depart from Swakopmund, on a scenic flight which heads further up the Skeleton Coast, and past the Cape Cross Seal Colony, before turning east and flying up the Huab River to Damaraland Camp for two nights.

Highlights of the stay at Damaraland Camp are nature excursions into the rocky desert in search of the rare and endangered desert elephant and rhino

Days 5, 6: Etosha and Ongava - Ongava Tented Camp or Ongava Lodge

You fly by light aircraft from Damaraland to Ongava Tented Camp or Ongava Lodge where you spend the next two nights. The camps are set within the private Ongava Reserve which borders the renowned Etosha National Park.

The morning is spent on a game drive, looking out for the multitude of game that inhabits Etosha. In the afternoon and evening you have the opportunity to experience a different aspect of this diverse area by taking part in a game walk or night drive within the private Ongava Reserve, activities not possible within Etosha. The reserve also has hides from which you have the opportunity to watch game as it comes to drink at one of the waterholes.

Lion, leopard, elephant, white rhino and black rhino, as well as the plains game, can all be seen here. Take advantage of one of the highlights of Ongava, tracking rhino on foot.

Days 7: Return to Windhoek

You depart Ongava Tented Camp/ Ongava Lodge for the flight back to Windhoek. (Some itineraries may run in reverse.)
