Itinerary

NamibRand Nature Reserve, Namibia

Spanning more than 172,000 hectares and encompassing several distinct desert ecosystems, the NamibRand Nature Reserve in southern Namibia is one of the largest private nature reserves in Southern Africa. Founded to conserve the unique ecosystem and biodiversity of the Namib Desert, the reserve's mix of dunes, mountains, rocky outcrops, sandy flats, and gravel plains provides habitats for a diversity of mammals, including hyenas, jackals, foxes, antelopes, and various wild cats. The reserve is also home to numerous bird species, reptiles, insects, and amphibians, alongside an array of plant species. Discover the mysterious fairy circles, enigmatic bare patches in the desert landscape whose origins remain the subject of scientific debate, or enjoy a night of sublime stargazing; as Africa's first International Dark Sky Reserve, it is one of the least light-polluted areas in the world.

Wolwedans Desert Lodge

Day 1 - 4

Previously known as Wolwedans Dunes Lodge, Desert Lodge is positioned in one of the most enviable locations that the NamibRand has to offer, Desert Lodge has a stunning outlook. Think vast orange dunes, mountains, rolling skies and, well, emptiness…. This magnificent vista is at the heart of the lodge, and all the rooms and guest areas are perfectly positioned to make the most of the impressive surroundings.

Kaokoveld, Namibia

Situated in northwestern Namibia, stretching from the Skeleton Coast inland towards the Angolan border, Kaokoveld is a vast and remote wilderness region known for its rugged landscapes, dramatic mountains and ancient desert valleys. This sparsely populated area is home to small Himba communities, free-roaming desert-adapted wildlife and some of Namibia’s most spectacular scenery. Travellers can explore remote landscapes by 4x4, visit traditional Himba settlements, track desert elephants, and search for black rhinos in rugged terrain. Among the region’s most iconic sights are Hartmann’s Valley and Marienfluss, two spectacular wilderness valleys renowned for their sweeping landscapes, as well as the legendary Van Zyl’s Pass, the dramatic Kunene River, and the picturesque Epupa Falls. With limited infrastructure and challenging conditions, Kaokoveld appeals to adventurous travellers seeking solitude and untouched wilderness.

Wilderness Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp

Day 6 - 8

The name “Skeleton Coast” conjures up romantic images of desolate beauty, and proudly remote Wilderness Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp in the Kaokoveld does not disappoint.

Kunene, Namibia

Bordering Angola in northern Namibia, Kunene is a region as well as the name of a river, which is one of just five perennial rivers in Namibia. The Kunene River is an invaluable source of water for the local Himba people, and it has been the mainstay of their existence for hundreds of years. For travellers, the river’s most striking feature is the magnificent Epupa Falls, which cascade over a distance of more than a kilometre downstream, with an impressive vertical drop of around 60 metres. Whitewater rafting and kayaking are both popular pursuits in these areas. Visitors can take sundowner cruises; explore sublime hiking routes; enjoy excellent bird watching opportunities; learn about local culture with a trip to a traditional Himba village; or go canoeing, kayaking, and game viewing.

Wilderness Serra Cafema

Set amongst shady trees on the banks of the Kunene River, Wilderness Serra Cafema is one of the most remote camps in southern Africa, its Portuguese name originating from the mountains that dominate the northern skyline.

Windhoek, Namibia

Windhoek, Namibia’s capital, lies in the heart of the country amid the rolling Khomas Highlands, where wide skies and dry savannah frame a compact, orderly city. It blends German colonial heritage with contemporary African identity, creating a calm, understated atmosphere rather than a bustling metropolis. Landmarks such as Christuskirche and the Tintenpalast sit alongside modern civic buildings, while lively markets and cafés reveal everyday Namibian life. Visitors can explore museums, stroll shaded streets, or use the city as a gateway to the surrounding wilderness and safari regions. The air is often dry and clear, carrying the scent of dust and jacaranda blossoms, while distant hills glow at sunset. Windhoek offers a gentle introduction to Namibia’s landscapes and culture, with space, light and quiet defining its appeal.
