Windhoek, Namibia
Begin your desert adventure at The Weinberg, located in Windhoek. Here, discover a way of life that looks to the earth beneath your feet and the stars above for knowledge. As the main port of call for most tourists, the bustling metropolis of Windhoek offers visitors locally-brewed beer and picturesque German architecture. Kick back and relax while enjoying the serenity of the untouched space in this nature reserve.
The Kalahari Desert, Namibia
Next, find yourself on the edge of the southern Kalahari at the luxurious Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch. With a fascinating blend of flora and fauna and expansive red sand dunes, the Kalahari offers travellers a completely unique experience. The extreme temperatures in this area transform the Kalahari from a sea of green in the summer to a dry desert landscape in the winter. Journey off the beaten path and explore the tranquil landscapes of the destination that the ancient San/ Bushmen once called home.
Gondwana Canyon Park, Fish River Canyon, Namibia
Journey on and explore the second largest canyon in the world, the Fish River Canyon. Situated in the south of Namibia and stretching for 180 kilometres from Sesriem down to the Orange River, this is the largest canyon in Africa, as well as the second most visited tourist attraction in Namibia. Take a well-deserved break away from the world as there is a gentle rhythm of peace to find here, reaffirming the goodness of life.
Klein-Aus Vista, Eagles Nest, Namibia
Grab the opportunity to experience something truly special in Klein-Aus Vista. Where streaks of Namib sand merge with the grasses of the Pro-Namib, this extraordinary landscape offers a sensuous splendour of colours and the chance to recharge and reconnect with nature.
Hardap Region, Namibia
Continue the ultimate journey at Zannier Hotels Sonop, Hardap region. Home to the Hardap Dam, this region stretches the entire width of Namibia, from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to Namibia's eastern national border. Capturing the restorative essence of the desert landscape and offering expansive views of the stunning desert, find yourself nestled between the rocks in tented opulence and experience an abundance of thrill and adventure.
Sossusvlei Private Desert Reserve, Namib Desert, Namibia
Experience your desert dream at the renowned andBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge, located in the Namib Desert, Namibia. Here, experience the utter tranquillity and extraordinary clarity of light that makes this area one of Africa’s most compelling landscapes. From luxurious accommodation to exceptional views of the desert's night skies , each moment in this pristine heaven promises an awe-inspiring getaway.
Swakopmund, Namibia
Continue onwards to your next destination and experience the luxuries of Strand Hotel, Swakopmund. Located directly on the promenade and surrounded on three sides by the Atlantic Ocean, this stay offers direct access to travellers wanting to explore the popular destination. From plenty of shop to restaurants and bars, find yourself immersed in the charm of this German, Victorian era colonial seaside town.
Torra Conservancy, Damaraland, Namibia
Set in the Torra Conservancy, Damaraland is situated within one of the driest, most desolate regions in all of Africa, while the Huab River Valley is considered to be one of the best wilderness areas in Namibia. This region offers endless vistas across the stark plains, ancient valleys, and a stunning ochre-purple mountain backdrop. As a paradise for birdwatchers who want to spot endemic Namibian birdlife, exploring this area is done so by day and night nature drives and walks. Venture further onward to find ancient rock art and geological wonders.
Skeleton Coast National Park, Namibia
Next, journey onwards to the hauntingly beautiful and remote Wilderness Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp, located on the boundary of the Skeleton Coast National Park. Here, find yourself surrounded by gravel plains, mountains and large yellow sand dunes. Mostly known for its rough surf and shifting shores, this seemingly stark desert has flourishing wildlife which calls this unforgiving land their home. Discover the fascinating history behind mysterious shipwrecks that line the coast and immerse yourself in the heritage of the welcoming Himba Tribe.
Hartmann's Valley, Skeleton Coast, Namibia
Journey deep into the Hartmann Valley of the northern part of Namibia known as Kaokaland and enjoy a stay at the remote camp of Serra Cafema. Located in the extreme northwest of Namibia, the region offers a profound sense of wilderness and unusual juxtaposition of habitats, as the Kunene River nurtures a band of lush vegetation amidst one of the driest deserts on earth, while sea mists creep in from the coast. The volcanic rocks and soaring dunes make for a lunar ‘moonscape’ that delights visitors by being surprisingly alive with desert-adapted creatures like the Cape fox, horned adders, and long-billed larks.
Ongava Game Reserve, Etosha National Park, Namibia
Discover a true connection to the wilderness at the serene Anderssons at Ongava, located in the Ongava Private Game Reserve, Namibia. Experience the utter tranquillity of silence and solitude that pervades the vast Namibian savannah, stretching far into the distance. Home to several prides of lions and protected rhino populations, Etosha's wildlife roams freely across the never-ending space. Be one with nature while surrounded by thickets of mopane woodland, riverine forest, and scattered salt pans.
Onguma Nature Reserve, Etosha National Park, Namibia
Travel onwards to the eastern border of the Etosha National Park and experience the only one of its kind, Onguma The Fort. Here you will have the opportunity of experiencing Africa in all its beauty and diversity. Onguma is home to numerous plains game, as well as four of the “Big 5". The Fort is built in exactly the right spot to give guests probably one of the best sunset views in the whole of Namibia - overlooking the beautiful scarceness of the Etosha Pans, decorated only with its wild animals and hundreds of Camel Thorn trees.
Otjiwarongo, Namibia
Journey to the central-north region of Namibia and experience one of Namibia's most diverse destinations - Otjiwa. Otjiwa’s vast 12,000-hectare expanse of bushveld conceals a treasure trove of African wildlife boasting some 25 free-roaming game species, including one of the country’s largest herds of Sable Antelope and several precious White Rhinoceros, both of which offer guests excellent chances of outstanding sightings.
Zannier Reserve, Namibia
Conclude your Nambian safari at the traditional Zannier Hotel Omaanda, located in the Zannier Reserve on the Khomas Hochland plateau. Boasting breathtaking landscapes of hills and valleys and characterised by its vast diversity of animals, it is here that you are able to find the balance between adventure and relaxation.
