Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Skeleton Coast, Ongava Private Game Reserve (Etosha National Park)

Experience Namibia's must-see destinations on this tour of Sossusvlei, the Skeleton Coast and Etosha National Park. Enjoy incredible desert wildlife safaris and scenic touring in the awe-inspiring wilderness that makes Namibia such as special place.

Begin with an overnight in Windhoek, the modern capital of Namibia. Continue to Sossusvlei, a desert region of dramatic red sand dunes in the middle of Namib-Naukluft National Park, one of the largest national parks in Africa. During scenic desert drives, see highlights such as Deadvlei, a dried lake bed with an eerie grove of dead trees surrounded by enormous sand dunes. If desired, hike up Big Daddy, the highest dune in the world, for breathtaking views over the ridges and valleys of the sprawling sand landscape. Other activities include looking for wildlife such as brown hyenas, springboks and gemsboks (oryx); walking nature trails to see interesting birds, reptiles and insects; quad biking; hiking; e-biking; seeing ancient rock art; night walks and stargazing.

Next, fly to the Skeleton Coast, a remote wilderness where towering sand dunes meet the pounding surf of the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy an excursion along the coast, including one way by scenic flight, and see shipwrecks, the Mowe Bay seal colony and sandy beaches. Other activities include nature drives to look for hyenas, lions and elephants; scenic walks; learning about desert predators from wildlife researches; searching for birds unique to the area; sundowner cocktails in the sand dunes; and excursions to more remote areas of the camp’s concession.

Conclude in Ongava Private Game Reserve, a private reserve bordering Etosha National Park, a vast salt pan surrounded by plains and woodlands. Stay at an upscale safari lodge in the foothills with panoramic views over the beautiful landscapes. During safaris in the national park and the lodge's private game reserve, enjoy some of Africa's best wildlife viewing. Visit water holes that attract elephants, lions, rhinos, zebras, wildebeest, springboks, gemsboks and other wildlife. Also look for some of the hundreds of types of birds that live in Etosha.
