HIGHLIGHTS OF NAMIBIA – SILVER

KEY DETAILS

OVERVIEW

Highlights of Namibia is an 11 night, four camp safari, that can be linked either via a flying circuit or by self-driving (as costed below) and is ideally suited for those travellers who have the time to explore this beautiful country at a relaxed pace, visiting each of the iconic regions that give Namibia its unique character.

The itinerary starts in Sossusvlei, on the edge of the immense sand fields of the Namib Desert at Wolwedans Dunes Lodge, close to the huge dunes of the sand desert that stretch for hundreds of miles along the Atlantic Coastline, You’ll then stay for two nights in the Atlantic Ocean coastal town of Swakopmund, an ideal location to explore the marine mammals and bird-life at Walvis Bay. From there you continue your journey northwards into the Kunene region and Camp Kipwe, one of the best wilderness areas in Namibia and home to desert-adapted elephants and the San rock art of Twyfelfontein. Your journey finishes on the edge of the world famous Etosha National Park at Mushara Lodge, from where you can explore the park with its diversity and abundance of wildlife.
