Guests are greeted at Hosea Kutako International Airport, Windhoek, Namibia and are driven to the acclaimed Omaanda Lodge overlooking the 9,000 hectare reserve - Zannier by N/a’an Ku Sê, a not-for-profit eco-tourism foundation focused on the relocation and reintroduction of endemic species of flora and fauna.

After settling in, guests will have the opportunity to visit with the resident Baboons, Caracals, Lions, Cheetahs, African Wild Dogs and Leopards – watch the animals being fed by experienced guides and revel in the stories they tell about their charges. Sundowners and an excellently prepared dinner will be served, before guests retire for the day in their luxury accommodation.

The professionals work here with passionate dedication to conservation and sustainability.

In the afternoon, guests will have the opportunity to swim and relax before an early dinner in preparation for a a magical and authentic experience of Namibian traditional culture – an invitation to join the San Bushmen and spend the night immersed in their evening entertainment, becoming part of their world, witnessing songs and dances that echoes underneath a canopy of a million stars.

Hear mythical stories that will keep you intrigued long after this journey is a distant memory.

After an early breakfast, guests will fly by private air-taxi to Sossusvlei Moun to be greeted and driven to Namib Naukluft Park.

Kulala Desert Lodge is set at the foot of the remarkable red dunes with spectacular vistas across a breathtaking escarpment. Cool off in the pool, relax and settle into your accommodation, one of only 23 thatched chalets. Enjoy sundowners and the sunset from the deck, while watching Ostrich, Springbok, Jackal and Gemsbok drinking at the waterhole.

Days can be spent travelling by quad bike out through the lodge’s private entrance to the parkland – heading to the Tsauchab River to marvel at the exotic and other wordly vistas offered by this internationally acclaimed vlei – an enormous clay pan, seemingly endless dunes that change shape daily and blaze red in the morning sun – all back-lit by brilliant blue skies.

Then, for the high-flyers! tour the park by hot-air balloon, enjoying uninterrupted views across the Park and River – a new perspective on this shifting, magical landscape.

Lunch on extravagant picnics, served under a tented canopy framing breathtaking views. Dine on dishes prepared by the Camp's talented kitchen brigade. Sleep under the thatch or better still, have your mattress taken outside to star gaze into slumber.

After breakfast guest will fly by private air-taxi to Walvis Bay and by private transfer to the notable Pelican Point Lodge where the Captain’s Cove Suite with a 360 degree view has been reserved.

Situated on a unique stretch of headland, the Lodge has been created within the Old Harbour Control building, at the foot of the Lighthouse.

At almost halfway in your Namibian journey, guests often take this location as a time to reflect, frame amazing photographs, write up their journals, read, and walk to the harbour.

In the surf, Whales, Mola-Mola and basking Dolphins can be viewed along with Seals, Flamingos, Damara-Samara-Terns and Cormorants, while after dark the howl of Jackal floats across the sand.

For a closer view, kayaking on the lagoon can be arranged where sighting of the 30,000 Cape Fur Seals population is a treat or – for the truly energetic – a full day's tuition of wind and kite surfing.

Table service dining and specially prepared picnics add to the pure pleasure of time here.

Guests depart early after breakfast flying by private air-taxi to Doro Nawas Camp on the banks of the Aba-Huab River with spectacular views across a vast, rugged terrain of the Damaraland region.

Settle in to one of the 16 cottages made of stone and canvas designed to blend in with the natural surrounding, before embarking on a walking safari. Expect to encounter herds of Elephant at one end of the scale, to Scorpions on the other – while overhead the magnificent Snake Eagle spears its wings.

All this punctuated with a fine picnic lunch and afternoon tea.

Late afternoon, a visit to the Twyfelfontein Valley to view the ancient etchings there – thought to be 6000 years old, made by the San Bushmen using sharp rock, of the game found in their hunting ground. Zebra, Elephant, Eland, Giraffe, Rhino and Ostrich are all clearly depicted.

Sundowners, a good dinner and a well earned comfortable bed, under thatch or the stars, awaits you.
