Day to day
After touching down at Hosea Kutako International Airport in Windhoek, you will be transferred to Little Kulala. Set in Namib-Naukluft National Park among the iconic red sand dunes of the Namib Desert, the lodge provides for easy access to the dunes and makes the most of the solitude and stark beauty of the surrounding desert.
Here, guests can enjoy activities such as nature drives and guided walks where they have the opportunity to spot wildlife such as oryx, springbok, ostrich and a variety of reptiles. Those in search of unique perspectives of this stunning area are spoiled for choice, with hot-air balloon safaris and scenic flights before ending the day off with a stargazing safari and sleep-out experience.
Experience an early morning drive to visit the Sossusvlei area. Embark on a variety of activities from early morning guided game drives, nature drives, and walks on the private reserve. The Kulala Wilderness Reserve is home to all forms of hardy desert wildlife and fauna, so keep your eyes open for ostrich, springbok, and cheetah.
Breakfast at Little Kulala is followed by a trip to Doro Nawas Airstrip and a flight to Damaraland Camp in Namibia’s Kunene region. This spectacular area is home to one of the most important and extensive collections of rock art in Africa as well as the Huab Valley, which is fed from a spring that attracted Stone Age hunters more than 6 000 years ago. Located along the banks of the Aba-Huab River, Damaraland Camp offers guests the opportunity to visit cultural and historic sites as well as striking geological formations in the area.
In Namibia’s far north lies the Kunene region. Its eponymous river, which is one of only five perennial rivers in the country, has been the mainstay of the local Himba people’s existence for hundreds of years. You will be transferred here by air, travelling from Damaraland Camp to Doro Nawas Airstrip and on to Serra Cafema Camp. Set under verdant trees along the banks of the Kunene, the camp is an oasis in this desert landscape. Its unique location means that guests have the opportunity to explore the surrounding area on foot, by boat and via quadbike (ATV). What’s more, Serra Cafema offers the most authentic Himba cultural experience in all of Namibia, giving guests the chance to meet and interact with these nomadic peoples to learn about their lifestyle and traditions.
On your last day in Namibia, you will be transferred from Serra Cafema Camp back to Doro Nawas Airstrip and on to Hosea Kutako International Airport for your flight to your next destination.
