8 Days in Namibia
Explore some of the most remote luxury lodges in Africa, without those long bumpy hours driving from camp to camp. Start in Kunene, an exclusive safari destination that is a veritable oasis in its surroundings on the banks of the Kunene River. After that, opt for a change of scenery and embrace the desert in all its splendour in the arid Damaraland region before concluding your journey in Etosha: home to the glaring salt pan and an abundance of wildlife.

The Kunene River in the north of Namibia extends for 325km on the country’s border with Angola. Ranging from thundering waterfalls and furious white-water rapids to serene rock pools and tranquil streams; the river meanders along the surrounding landscape, attracting a plethora of wildlife to its varied banks. Located in the country's Kaokoland region, the Epupa Falls are found approximately 190km upstream of the Kunene River mouth and are becoming an increasingly popular tourist attraction. Here the river splits to form a number of channels before eventually surging over into a deep chasm. The Ruacana Falls, another popular attraction in the area, are located 120km...
Kunene River Lodge inhabits the north-western corner of beautiful, rugged Namibia, and provides accommodation that takes you right to the magical Ruacana and Epupa Falls and gets your heart racing with signature white-water rafting adventures. On the banks of the Kunene River, the lodge is also a birder’s paradise.
The endless undulating dunes and rock formations of the harsh Namib Desert are broken only by the waters of the Kunene River. Within the lush riverine forests which spring up here stands Serra Cafema – one of Namibia’s remotest camps. Fly over the soaring dunes on a quad bike in search of the desert-adapted wildlife.
With its remote location and magnificent Kunene River views, Okahirongo River Camp is a superb location for travellers exploring all the delights and attractions of Namibia’s Kaokoland. Learn about the local Himba tribe and keep an eye out for desert-adapted rhino and elephant while you’re out it.

Damaraland occupies an area between the Skeleton Coast in the west and Etosha National Park in the East. Likely one of the most fascinating attractions in the area, the Petrified forest near the town of Khorixas offers visitors a chance to get close to large tree trunks that have ‘turned to stone over time’. This area boasts several other unique highlights that can’t be missed and is perfectly located to act as a stopover. Highlights in the region include: tracking wild rhino; hiking up the Brandberg Mountain to view the famous “White Lady” Bushman painting; visiting the rocky outcrop of Twyfelfontein with its plethora of Bushman...
A labyrinth of pathways and fresh fragrances from the flowers of Damara Mopane Lodge will enhance the senses in more ways than one. The beautiful garden chalets are situated near several Namibian historical highlights, and the woodland views are sure to keep you enthralled for hours on end.
With its surreal geological formations, rare succulents and rock art, Damaraland is one of Namibia’s most intriguing destinations – and Damaraland Camp is the best place to experience this region. Go in search of the desert-adapted elephant and even the endangered black rhino if you want to get the most out of Damaraland.
This part of Damaraland, Namibia, is simply waiting to be discovered and Mowani Mountain Camp makes the ideal vantage point from which to do so. With a plethora of activities and sights on offer and a luxury camp absorbed into the mountainside to enjoy it all from, this is a necessity on any Namibian itinerary.

With its origins in the Bantu language, Etosha translates to “great white place” referencing the near 5 000km² mirage-inducing pan that calls Namibia's 22 750km² Etosha National Park home. Considered one of the largest national parks on the globe and home to over 114 mammal and 340 bird species, this wildlife haven is one of the most easily accessible and adored places to visit in southern Africa. Once upon a time, the Etosha pan was an ancient inland sea that over past millennia has dried up. Although no longer an ocean, the summer rains bring forth a layer of algae across the pan’s surface which entices flocks of flamingos and countless other birdlife. Another...
Etosha Safari Lodge is an excellent point from which to explore the south-central part of Etosha National Park. With self-drive or guided safari options on offer, feel free to discover at your own pace. The lodge provides a welcome reprieve with refreshing pools, a relaxing deck perfect for sundowners and a great restaurant to start your day.
The first and oldest tourist camp in Etosha, Okaukuejo Camp is still as popular as it was at its inception. With a large permanent waterhole that is floodlit at night, this camp is an excellent vantage point for guaranteed game viewing and boasts a variety of accommodation options.
At Ongava Tented Camp you can experience the magic of Etosha from the comfort of the camp. The camp's eight tents overlook an active waterhole that attracts many of the reserve’s mammals to its banks. Game drives and rhino-tracking walks through both the Etosha and Ongava game reserves are also offered.
