ITINERARY:

Day 1 & Day 2
Namib Naukluft Park – Sesriem - Sossusvlei
Our journey begins in Windhoek and takes us west to the edge of the central Namibian escarpment. After a scenic descent we travel along infinite grass plains and striking mountain ranges to our lodge, situated in the haunting beauty of the Namib Desert. We explore the enchanting surrounds by ATV’s, enjoying the silence and surreal space of the desert on a dune sundowner. The following day we admire the mighty play of shadows and colours that the rising sun casts onto some of the highest dunes on earth at Sossusvlei. On our way back to our lodge we visit the Sesriem Canyon, after which the rest of the day is spent at leisure.
Accommodation: Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge: app. 320km

Day 3 & 4
Swakopmund
We leave the majestic dune landscape behind us, and travel via mountain ranges, rugged canyons and endless plains to Swakopmund. After our arrival in this idyllic coastal town we have some leisure time at our disposal, before travelling to the Welwitschia plains and the Moon Landscape. The following day promises both relaxation and adventure. A wide variety of activities are on offer in and around this quaint holiday town. Some of these include dolphin cruises, scenic flights, quad biking, dune boarding, desert explorations, and much more.

Afterwards we travel inland past the Brandberg (Namibia’s highest peak) into Damaraland, one of the most geologically diverse and untouched wilderness areas. We may see free-roaming game such as Hartman’s Mountain Zebra, Giraffe, springbok, black rhino and desert-adapted elephant. Our luxurious lodge, situated in the midst of huge granite boulders, will introduce us to the true meaning of peace and tranquillity.

Etosha National Park Region
After breakfast, we visit Southern Africa’s largest open-air museum at Twyfelfontein.

We continue to our lodge, situated at the gate of the Etosha National Park, where the rest of the day is spent at leisure. The following morning we travel into the Park in an open game –viewing vehicle. With its 114 different animal and 340 different bird species, this park belongs to the world’s most diverse wilderness areas, and promises us an unforgettable wildlife experience. Back at the lodge, we can be spoilt by various therapies and treatments at the lodge’s wellness centre.
