DAYS 1 & 2 SOSSUSVLEI
As you arrive in Windhoek, Namibia, you will be met by your guide and assisted to your light aircraft flight to Sossusvlei. Upon arrival in Sossusvlei, you will transfer by road to Sossusvlei Desert Lodge, where you will enjoy your next two nights.
About Sossusvlei Desert Lodge: Nestled deep in the heart of Namibia’s ancient Namib Desert in Southern Africa, the lodge is a secluded and serene oasis that overlooks awe-inspiring dunes and stony outcrops. A world of vast spaces, endless horizons and rugged mountain heights, the utter tranquility and extraordinary clarity of light make this area one of Africa’s most compelling landscapes.
Camp Type & Location: Safari Lodge in the NamibRand Private Nature Reserve.
Guest Accommodations: Ten Villas cradled against ancient mountains, constructed of stone and glass; guests can enjoy the solitary splendor of this remote landscape in privacy. Suites are air conditioned against the searing heat of day and cozy fireplaces ward off the chill of winter nights.
Activities: Early morning guided nature drives to the spectacular dunes of Sossusvlei nature walks, eco-sensitive, guided quad-biking and hot air balloon safari (extra cost).
Wildlife: A variety of desert habitats may be seen such as the majestic oryx (or gemsbok), Hartmann’s mountain zebra, springbok, ostrich, aardwolf, bat-eared and Cape fox, as well as porcupine.
About Sossusvlei
Sossusvlei is a salt and clay pan surrounded by high red dunes, located in the southern part of the Namib Desert, in the Namib-Naukluft National Park of Namibia. The name “Sossusvlei” is often used in an extended meaning to refer to the surrounding area (including other neighboring vleis such as Dead Vlei and other high dunes), which is one of the major visitor attractions of Namibia. The name “Sossusvlei” is of mixed origin, and roughly means “dead end marsh”. Vlei is the Afrikaans word for “marsh”, while “sossus” is the name for “no return” or “dead end”.
Overnight: Sossusvlei Desert Lodge (B, L, D, Local Beverages & Laundry)
DAYS 3 & 4 ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK
After breakfast and your morning game drive, you will transfer to the local airstrip to connect with your light aircraft flight to Etosha National Park and Ongava Tented Camp for your next two nights.
About Ongava Tented Camp: This intimate tented camp offers exclusivity, delicious food and an original African wildlife experience without the crowds. The camp overlooks a nearby waterhole to which a plethora of wildlife congregates to drink.
Camp Type & Location: Permanent Tented Camp tucked away at the foot of a dolomite hill in the private Ongava Game Reserve, which borders Etosha National Park.
Guest Accommodations: Eight comfortable, Meru-style tents, constructed from stone, canvas and thatch, all with en-suite facilities, open air showers and private verandahs.
Activities: Morning and afternoon game drives, game viewing from the hides that overlook waterholes providing great photography opportunities, nature walks and night drives. Game drives and daytrips into the easily accessible Okaukuejo area of Etosha National Park.
Wildlife: Desert-adapted black and white rhino, lion, huge herds of elephant, gemsbok, springbok, red hartebeest. Thousands of flamingoes when the pans are full. Black faced impala and little dik diks, fascinating and colorful birdlife, oryx and other plains game.
About Etosha National Park
Etosha National Park is Namibia’s premier wildlife destination and one of Africa’s largest game reserves. Large herds of wildlife teem around the waterholes and the endless plains offer breathtaking vistas. The Ongava Game Reserve is unique in that it is one of the few private game reserves in southern Africa where there is a chance of seeing both black and white rhino. For those who enjoy close wildlife encounters, tracking white rhino on foot with a guide is a highlight not to be missed.
