Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp is situated 12 miles (20 km’s) from the Park’s entrance to the Sossusvlei dunes. Towering dunes rise dramatically, more than 1,000 feet above the surrounding plains. The camp’s location provides access to Sossusvlei, yet also offers privacy and exclusivity. It has been built just below the top of a mountain, using rock, brick, timber and thatch and provides a cool refuge from the desert. There are nine guest units, ensuring personal service and attention. Each unit is superbly appointed and has a panoramic view overlooking the plains below, its own plunge pool as well as an en suite bathroom with hot and cold running water, shower and flush toilet.

After you land you will be met and transferred to Walvis Bay for a wonderful boat trip out to sea. There are frequently sightlings of dolphins, seals and sometimes even penguins and whales. You may also see turtles, sunfish, penguins, as well as a wonderful quantity and variety of birdlife. Following a delicious seafood lunch, the group will return to Walvis Bay Harbor before transferring by road to Swakopmund to enjoy a tour of this charming town. In the afternoon you depart from Swakopmund for a scenic flight further up the Skeleton Coast, past the Cape Cross Seal Colony, before turning east to fly up the Huab River to Damaraland Camp for two nights.

Highlights of the stay of Damaraland Camp are nature excursions into the rocky desert in search of the rare and endangered desert Elephant and Rhino and this is an area where the chances of encountering the desert Elephants are high.

The camp itself is set on the northern face of the Huab River valley and looking south toward the imposing Brandberg Mountains. Early morning mists, generated by the clash between the icy Atlantic Ocean and the warm desert air of the Skeleton Coast, drift inland along the river sand canyon, providing sustenance to the flora and fauna of the region. This comfortable and friendly camp offers walks and drives in one of the best wilderness areas in Namibia. Although wildlife is not concentrated the camp is situated where the rare Desert Elephant roams, alongside Gemsbok (Oryx), Springbok, Ostrich and other hardy desert animals. Rare succulent plants somehow manage to eke out an existence in this harsh countryside.

Ongava Game Lodge is situated along the southern boundary of Etosha National Park in the privately owned Ongava Game Reserve. Accommodation here comprises 10 air-conditioned rock and thatch chalets, each with en-suite facilities. All meals are served in the main dining area under thatch with a view over the camp’s water hole. Activities include game drives in open 4x4 vehicles into the Okaukuejo area of Etosha where Lion, Elephant, Cheetah, Gemsbok, Springbok, and Hartebeest can be seen at many of the water holes in the park.
