“The desert is natural; when you are out there, you can get in tune with your environment, something you lose when you live in the city.”
Robyn Davidson.
Take this amazing trip in to the desert. You will enjoy some of the best accommodation Namibia has to offer. The beauty of the skeleton coast, tranquillity of the Hoanib River and the scale of the Ongava & Ethosha Game Reserves.
Be completely consumed by the stars of the old world and indulge in the loneliness of the desert.
1 night Olive Exclusive
3 nights Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp
2 nights Ongava Lodge
3 nights Kulala Desert Lodge
Your journey starts off in Windhoek, the capital centre of Namibia, that has been greatly influenced by German architecture from the early colonial days. Moving onto “the land that God made in anger”,
the Skeleton Coast Park.
Numerous shipwrecks and skeletons of whales can be seen along this treacherous coast of this almost inhospitable land. The area is renowned for is surprising large numbers of desert adapted game such as desert elephant and cheetah and hyena and jackal can often be seen along the coast hunting seals.
Your journey continues to the Ongava Game Reserve, located along the southern boundary of Etosha National Park. Morning game drives are taken into the park where you might be able to witness its huge elephant population and large numbers of plains game and it is not unusual to see a number of different mammals at one waterhole – the beauty of the “place of emptiness”.
Namib –Naukluft Park is our final stop on this epic journey. Herds of zebra, gemsbok and springbok call this their home. It is also the home of the highest sand dunes in the world exceeding 300 metres. Sipping a cocktail as the sun sets over this breath taking landscape is enough to take your breath away.
