For a unique perspective, admire the beauty of the Namib Desert on an optional balloon safari.
Swakopmund/Damaraland
Fly over the desert to charming Swakopmund, from where you'll take a boat trip from Walvis Bay Harbor. Don’t be surprised if you have dolphins and seals for companions on this trip. Fly to the scenic Damaraland, where each tent in the camp has facilities en-suite and its own verandah.

At Etosha National Park, you land in the crown jewel of Namibia’s nature preserves. Stay at the private Ongava Game Reserve, where night game drives and nature walks are available.

Take the full-day game drive to Ongava and Etosha, dominated by the big cats, giraffe, zebra and numerous bird species.
Windhoek-Johannesburg
Fly to Windhoek. Board your flight to Johannesburg where your tour guide will transfer you to the Elephant Sanctuary, where you can interact with the semi-habituated animals.
