Itinerary Description:

Begin your Namibian adventure in the famous Sossusvlei at Little Kulala, a luxurious camp situated on almost 52,000 acres of private land bordering the Namib Naukluft Park and offers spectacular views of the famous red dunes of Sossusvlei. The 11 villas blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment, and excursions here will take you on game drives and hikes among the tallest sand dunes in the world.

Continue to Damaraland Camp and your own thatch-roofed eco-friendly safari cottage with a private deck. Some 2,000 of Africa’s best rock engravings and paintings can be found in this area, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The 70,000 acre Ongava Game Reserve near Etosha National Park is your next stop. Perched in the foothills of the Ondundozonanandana Range, Ongava Tented Camp features elegant elevated tents, each with views over the nearby watering hole. Spend two days enjoying the activities at camp, including game drives, viewing from hides and tracking the rare white rhino on foot with an experienced guide.

Your encounter peaks in the Waterberg Plateau and the cozy Babson House, a converted farm house adjacent to the Cheetah Conservation Fund. As one of Namibia’s leading organizations for cheetah rehabilitation and conservation, the group is constantly caring for cheetahs and managing local outreach programs. Guests have the opportunity to tour the organization’s education center and observe these endangered beauties as they enjoy meals and exercise in preparation for returning to the wild.
