FLY IN SAFARI
Leaving Windhoek, we will travel in a south-westerly direction and along the edge of the Kalahari Desert to the spectacular Nama Karoo. Southern Namibia is part of a 4-desert biome, accentuated with harsh, yet awesome landscape vistas that send your imagination hurtling through time. Our lodge for the night is set amidst huge granite boulders in close vicinity to the Fish River Canyon, the second largest of its kind on earth.
Basis: D
We visit the Fish River Canyon, a 550-metre deep chasm created by the shifting of tectonic plates and erosion. Thereafter we fly west towards the coastal Namib Desert where we can enjoy a bird's eye view of the canyon. The Namib is the oldest desert on earth and is accentuated by silent giants of gleaming sand. These star dunes, whose shapes can best be admired from the air, twist like tendrils towards the world's highest dunes that form the magnificent Sossusvlei.

An open vehicle excursion takes us to Sossusvlei, a symphony of sand turning into an orchestra of burnished colours as the gigantic desert waves are painted from red through orange by the rising sun. Clamber some of the world's highest dunes and experience this soulful, harsh yet liberating environment. Our journey proceeds along the Atlantic coastline to Swakopmund.

After breakfast we travel to Walvis Bay to enjoy a marine cruise. Compare the harsh, choppy water to the dry dune belt facing the ocean while enjoying cold sparkling wine and fresh Namibian oysters. Our journey proceeds into Damaraland, an area marked by steep mountain massifs that tower over meandering riverbeds and form the survival structure for desert elephant, black rhino and a myriad of free-roaming antelope species.

Today we visit one of the most spectacular outdoor art exhibitions in the world at the world heritage site of Twyfelfontein. Translated the word means "doubtful spring". One which has brought life to this thirsty land for thousands of years. Our visit is followed by a short flight to our next lodge situated at the entrance to the Etosha National Park.
Basis: B,D
In the early morning we travel by open safari vehicle into the Etosha National Park, one of the most diverse game sanctuaries in Africa. The Etosha Pan is surrounded by a number of waterholes that sustain over 114 different game as well as 340 different bird species.
