Upon arrival in Windhoek, you will receive a warm Namibian welcome from our knowledgeable pilot before embarking on a private chartered flight to Sossusvlei, ensuring a seamless and luxurious start to your adventure.

Arriving at the Witwater airstrip, take a short drive to the luxurious lodge, Namib Outpost, a jewel in the Namib that promises unmatched comfort and privileged views of the surrounding beauty.

Embark on a late sundowner drive into nature offering snacks and drinks. Early morning wake up call the next day, for a life-enriching guided 4x4 excursion to Deadvlei, the famous salt and clay pan in the Namib-Naukluft National Park. Famous for some of the tallest sand dunes in the world, Sossusvlei is one of the most visited attractions. Reflect on every sight ending off the morning with a picnic lunch in the dunes.

Shipwrecks, Skeletons, Sand and Sea

Take a low-level scenic flight over Sossusvlei, Deadvlei, Sesriem Canyon, and the tallest dunes in the oldest desert on the planet - The Namib. Your journey continues to the obscure Skeleton Coast, where you will spend two mesmerizing nights in this remote and hauntingly beautiful landscape. You’ll be staying at the unique and luxurious Shipwreck Lodge, offering an unparalleled and immersive experience amidst this desolate yet captivating environment.

Iconic attractions of the Skeleton Coast include exploring the remnants of ancient shipwrecks scattered along the coastline, each with its own tale of maritime history. Among them, the “Zelia,” which met its fate in the 20th century, and the “Shaunee,” dating back to the 1970s, stand as poignant reminders of the coast’s treacherous history.

A visit to the Skeleton Coast is an immersive journey into the heart of nature’s raw and untamed beauty, an experience that will leave an indelible mark on your soul.

Day 5-6

Kunene River, Hartman Valley

Kunene River, Hartman Valley

Tune in to one of the most untouched places on Earth, along a rushing river amidst an ochre desert that is one of the world’s oldest. Respectfully engage with a community of Himba, Namibia’s last semi-nomads still living traditionally, and local custodians. Hear their stories, and share yours. When water levels permit, boat on the Kunene, with Angola’s craggy mountains in the distance and plenty of crocs on the banks and in the water, explore the dunes on foot and in game vehicles, perhaps spotting oryxes, springbok, Hartmann’s mountain zebras, or tiny desert chameleons. Along specially allocated, low-impact pathways, quad bike across the untamed lunar landscape. During your exploration of Kaokoland, you’ll be hosted at the world-class Serra Cafema Camp. This luxurious oasis is nestled along the river, offering exceptional comfort and unmatched service.
