Namibia’s Etosha, Damaraland & Sossusvlei Fly-In

Enjoy a hearty Namibian breakfast before boarding your charter flight to Etosha National Park. A guide takes you on a game drive through the Onguma Game Reserve, a private conservation area bordering Etosha National Park. Set overlooking a waterhole where game regularly comes down to drink, the lodge is a mixture of sophistication and indulgence. Elephants and lions are often seen but nothing compares to the thrill of encountering a black rhino in the wild. Morning finds you up with the sun exploring the Etosha National Park.

Enjoy your last breakfast overlooking Onguma's waterhole before heading to the airstrip for your charter flight to southern Damaraland. Situated in the Twyfelfontein Conservancy, Mowani Mountain Camp perches like an eagle's nest at the top of a valley strewn with enormous boulders. Game drives reveal desert-adapted elephants, and excursions take you to the famous San Bushman petroglyphs and rock paintings of Twyfelfontein. End each day at the sundowner spot before a sumptuous dinner beneath a dazzling Milky Way.

Following a delicious breakfast, your guide transfers you to the airstrip for your flight to Sossusvlei Desert Lodge. Large windows and spacious decks showcase the beautiful Namib Desert. A guided expedition reveals the mysteries of the desert, and you visit the iconic dunes of the Namib-Naukluft National Park where wind-sculpted dunes stand hundreds of metres high. Return to the lodge for a sumptuous meal and gaze at the stars through the glass skylight above your bed.

A scenic road transfer through the NamibRand Nature Reserve delivers you to Wolwedans Dunes Lodge, perched upon the edge of a dune plateau with panoramic views. All-day drives cover a large distance to afford a greater range of habitat diversity, focused on the experience as a whole rather than just animal spotting. Sundowner drives take you into the dunes where cocktails are served alongside a desert sunset. The eco-friendly lodge is committed to sustainability and conservation.

After a hearty Namibian breakfast and final farewell, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your flight to Windhoek and then home. As you gaze out from the airplane window at the convoluted and wondrous landscape below, recollections of your journey come tumbling back: the kind and welcoming faces, the dazzling Namibian sky at night, landscapes as old as time, and the enveloping silence of the red Namib Desert.
