Safari Description
This 7-day, 6-night accommodated safari is a tailor-made opportunity to experience the best of Namibia within a perfect time frame. Experience a moving insight into wildlife conservation and rehabilitation at the N/a’an ku se Wildlife Sanctuary before seeking spectacular wildlife encounters in Etosha National Park. We are looking for predators and prey alike. Visit the mineral pan ’The Great White Space’, from which Etosha takes its name, which is 22,000 square km of desolate, dazzling expanse, so big it can be seen from space.
Beautiful Damaraland gives us a unique ‘’Big Sky’’ experience, where the towering pink granite koppies seem to touch the very sky on our horizon, putting real meaning into the words ‘’breathtaking’’.
Meet some of the locals as we travel through Damaraland, Himba, Herero & Damara people, often in traditional dress, who welcome us to their makeshift roadside stalls under the shadow of Namibia’s highest mountain, The Brandberg. Reaching the wild and rugged Skeleton Coast, we follow the ocean road into the unusual and quirky town of Swakopmund. Referred to by some as the adrenaline capital of Namibia, there are certainly some hair-raising experiences on offer, but Swakopmund is also a place where you can relax and recharge.
We head across the Tropic of Capricorn for an adventure on a magical trip to one of the most beautiful places on Planet Earth, the centre of the Namib – the world’s oldest desert. A pre-dawn start to catch the soft light of sunrise as we head for Dead Vlei with its stark collection of skeleton trees and on to Sossusvlei, the water’s end of an ancient river. We watch out for wildlife, oryx and springbok are often seen in this sandy land. Then homeward-bound up-and-over Rocky Mountains as we climb our way up the central plateau and across the Khomas Hochland mountains to Windhoek
