Sossusvlei
Fly on to Windhoek and connect with a local flight to Sossusvlei for a 2 night stay at Little Kulala. Sossusvlei has an unspoilt desert beauty, home to some of the tallest sand dunes in the world.

Little KulalaDay /4-5
Immerse yourself in the culture of Damaraland
Fly to Damaraland, for a 2 night stay at Damaraland Camp. Scenically breath-taking and culturally fascinating, see 6000 year old rock engravings at Twyfelfontien and the petrified forest with its 250 million year old fossilised logs. (FI)
Damaraland CampDay /6-7
Encounter the Himba Tribe at Kunene
Fly to the Kunene for a 2 night stay at Serra Cafema. Vast stark plains and valleys define the landscape here. Drive a quad bike across the Namib desert sands, along allocated pathways to preserve the dunes and the delicate habitat. Alternatively, if water levels permit, take a boat trip along the Kunene River, where crocodiles seem at odds with the surreal desert landscape, or experience a cultural encounter with the nomadic Himba tribe.

Serra Cafema CampDay /8-10
Fly north to the Skeleton Coast
Fly to the Skeleton Coast and stay for 3 nights at Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp. The collision of Namib Desert heat and cold Benguerra current causes fog, perhaps the reason why there have been so many shipwrecks along this coast, explore this bleak but beautiful location home to desert adapted wildlife and Cape Fur Seals. (FI)
Hoanib Skeleton Coast CampDay /11-12
Explore Etosha
Fly to Etosha for 2 nights at Little Ongava. Stretching as far as the eye can see, Etosha’s huge, parched pan shimmers in the heat, providing a hazy backdrop for zebra, springbok, emus and giraffes that gather on the semi-arid grasslands. Endangered black rhino, elephants and lions are drawn to the park’s many waterholes. (FI)
