Itinerary Details

Day 1 Welcome to Johannesburg, South Africa
Upon arrival into Johannesburg you will be met and assisted on foot to your accommodation.

Johannesburg is the economic heart of South Africa, the central focus of Egoli ('Place of Gold'), as the Sotho name for Gauteng suggests. The largest and richest city in South Africa, Johannesburg's lifestyle is bustling and upbeat.

Intercontinental Johannesburg O.R. Tambo Airport Hotel

Day 2 Johannesburg to Sossusvlei
This morning make your own way on foot to Johannesburg International Airport for your flight to Namibia (not included). Upon arriving into Windhoek, you will be met and assisted to your connecting flight to Sossuslvlei.

Internationally celebrated as a photographer's paradise, Sossusvlei is defined by its monumental sand dunes, sculpted by multi-directional winds. The area's breathtaking scenery and wild, romantic spirit make it truly unforgettable. At its heart lies a vast, dry clay pan, surrounded by what are said to be the highest dunes in the world. After sufficient rainfall, the pan comes alive with flamingos and other aquatic birds.

Explore the timeless beauty of the desert on a nature drive or by quad bike, then climb and scramble down the striking 984-foot red ochre dunes of Sossusvlei. Hike through Sesriem Canyon, where water has carved dramatic rock formations over millennia. As the sun ignites the sky and then fades, enjoy sundowners amidst the vast desert, before falling asleep under one of the most breathtakingly star-filled skies on Earth.

Day 4 Sossusvlei to Damaraland
Fly over the dunes of the Namib and Sossusvlei continuing to Damaraland.

Damaraland is renowned for its interesting flora and fauna dominated by rugged mountain ranges and steep escarpments, scorched by a relentless desert sun and inhabited almost exclusively by the unique semi-nomadic Himba tribe. Game species include desert elephant, black rhino, ostrich and springbok. If you want to be inspired by one of Mother Nature's rarest beasts, a search for the endangered desert elephant in Damaraland is a must.

Wilderness Damaraland Camp
Meals: B, L, D

Day 5 Activities at Damaraland Camp
Damaraland Camp is set in the Huab River Valley—arguably Namibia's most pristine wilderness—56 miles from Torra Bay within the Torra Conservancy. Renowned as one of the country's finest camps, it offers sensational views of desert plains, ancient valleys, and the soaring peaks of the Brandberg Mountains.

There are countless ways to experience the desert from Damaraland Camp. Track desert-adapted elephants and other wildlife on game drives while learning their remarkable survival strategies in this arid landscape. Join a guide for a night walk in search of scorpions and other small desert creatures. Discover ancient rock art on a day excursion to a nearby site. When night falls, lose yourself under a sky filled with stars—truly incomparable stargazing.

With opportunities to explore both Ongava and the neighboring Etosha National Park, there is an astonishing variety of life found in this spectacular environment. Lions, black and white rhinos, elephants, giraffe and several stunning species of antelope, including rare black-faced impala, are at home on the reserve.

Ongava holds one of the largest rhino custodianships for the Namibian government in the country and is one of the few private game reserves in southern Africa where guests can see both black and white rhino.

Etosha National Park

Located about 250 mi/400 km north of Windhoek, Etosha Park is Namibia's best-known tourist attraction and one of the most interesting game reserves in the world because of its unusual terrain. Etosha is a combination of dried lake (salt pan) in the north and grasslands, dense brush and open plains in the south.

Etosha means “great white place,” so named because 25% of the country is covered by a huge salt basin that was an inland lake 12 million years ago.

The sun glints off the 6,500-sq-mi/16,835-sq-km salt pan—a dry, flat, shallow, silvery-white depression—providing an eerie backdrop for wild animals moving through the shimmering haze. Dust in the air adds to the mystery: Everything is slightly indistinct, and since mirages are common, visitors occasionally find themselves questioning what they've really seen. It's widely regarded to be a photographer's paradise, especially during the dry winter months, when wildlife congregates around the artificial waterholes that line the pan, allowing for excellent close-up sightings.

Etosha is home to around 100 large mammal species, among them the elephant, giraffe, zebra, leopard, cheetah, lion, kudu, spotted hyena and black-backed jackal. It is the only reserve where you are likely to see the range-restricted black-faced impala (distinguished from the normal impala by the black blaze on its face) and is also an important stronghold for black rhino.

A checklist of 340 bird species found in Etosha includes local specialties such as white-tailed shrike, and an impressive selection of raptors and ground birds such as bustards.

The prime watering holes are on the southern side of the park, but they're only full after the rainy season (December-March). The Kuvelai River, which feeds Etosha, either floods or dries up completely, vanishing into the sand.

The park is open year-round, but the best time to visit, for both climate and the best photos, is August and September. There are three camping/self-catering rest camps with facilities inside the park (Halali, Namutoni and Okaukuejo) and several private lodges just outside. Okaukuejo has a floodlit water hole for nocturnal viewing.
