This quintessential journey encompasses Namibia’s attractions as a whole: stunning landscapes, barren deserts, rugged mountains and spectacular wildlife. Explore the dunes of Sossusvlei and the awesome space of the Namib Desert. Encounter the stark beauty and diversity of the Kunene region, marine life around Swakopmund and the game-filled savannahs of Etosha. Such experiences are enhanced by a range of lodges, including diverse activities such as a dolphin cruise with private beach lunch at Walvis Bay, hiking and cycling in Damaraland, interacting with the Damara people (dependent on their movements) and tracking black rhino on foot, along with optional hot air ballooning and horse-riding (additional cost).
