Detailed
itinerary
Marvel at
nature's contrasts and superlatives as you
sojourn across Southern Africa on this select
adventure. Travel from terrains as extreme
as the arid Namib Desert and the desolate
Skeleton Coast to the wetlands of the Okavango
Delta, while you witness towering sand dunes,
thundering waterfalls and diverse wildlife.
Your equally fascinating accommodations
include former castles, tented camps and
safari cottages.
Day

Departure
Your
wildlife adventure lies just ahead as you
board your international flight bound for
Africa.
Day
2
Arrival
Windhoek, the capital of Namibia
Spend
your first night in a former castle, perched on
the hills overlooking the city. Heinitzburg pays
wonderful attention to detail, everything from the
four-poster beds to the handmade wooden furniture
is perfect. All rooms feature the most magnificent
view of Windhoek and the surrounding Khomas Hochland
mountains.

Sossusvlei
(Clay pan in the central Namib Desert)
Begin
your six night wing safari with two nights in Sossusvlei,
site of the world's tallest sand dunes. Excursions
in specially-fitted 4 x 4 vehicles allow access
to the dunes and dry river beds in search of elusive
oryx, gemsbok and ostrich. Sossusvlei is surely
one of the most spectacular sights in Namibia. Located
in the Namib Naukluft park, the largest conservation
area in Africa, and fourth largest in the world
- the sand dunes at Sossusvlei are just one excellent
reason to visit Namibia.
The
best time to view Sossusvlei is close to sunrise
and sunset; the colors are strong and constantly
changing, allowing for wonderful photographic opportunities.
The midday heat is intense and best spent in the
shade while sunset also offers excellent photo opportunities
at Sossusvlei.

Damaraland
Fly
to Swakopmund for a boat trip among the seals, dolphins,
whales and penguins. Continue winging north over
the remote Skeleton Coast to Damaraland, an area
of stark plains, ancient valleys and soaring peaks.
Enjoy two days —
home of the legendary desert elephants - adapted
to life in a fragile environment with few resources
- as well as black rhino and good birding. Thankfully
there is great desert accommodation, which means
you don't have to rough it in Damaraland in the
slightest of rare desert elephant, lion, cheetah
and black rhino.

species, 340 bird species, 110 reptile species,
16 amphibian species and, surprisingly, one species
of fish.
