Seven Day Wing-Safari in Namibia with Wilderness Safaris This itinerary, guided by the leading Luxury Safari operator in southern Africa combines the best of Namibia. The unique features include: li284- Private charters between camps minimise travel time and provide a bird's-eye view of the immense landscape - Diverse activities enhance in-depth experience of the landscape, including dolphin cruise, seafood lunch and quad biking - Seamless experience with one expert pilot-guide leading throughout - Small group size ensures that special interests are satisfied - Enormous concessions and private camps combine with advantages of nearby National Parks observe Namibia from the air is an awe-inspiring experience: the vast expanses of moving, rippling sands, the great blue skies and grey of the ocean extending to the horizon. This safari explores four distinct regions: the sands and red dunes of Sossusvlei; the icy, life-filled coasts at Swakopmund and Walvis Bay; the stark plains of Damaraland, with their desert-adapted elephants; and the amazing wildlife abundance on the savannah of Etosha. Days 1&2: Fly to the Namib Desert Accommodation: Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp (2 Nights, Fully inclusive with activities) The safari departs by light aircraft from Eros International Airport, close to the centre of town in Windhoek. We depart in the morning no later than 10h00 and it is a one-hour flight down to Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp, where we spend two nights. Accommodation The lodge is situated 20km from Sesriem, the entrance to the dunes of Sussusvlei. It is part of a private reserve of 20 000 hectares. The chalets are built on top of a hill and offer grandiose views. Each has its own pool. The early morning excursions by open Jeep to Sossusvlei with breakfast in the desert under a camelthorn tree are unbeatable. In the afternoon trips on the own reserve are offered. Desert animals like Oryx antelopes, ostrich and springbuck can be photographed against a breathtaking background. If you take part in a night trip, you can see hyenas, desert foxes and the strange, highly specialized aardvark. The stories and comments by the game wardens leave you amazed at the imagination and tenacity of nature under extreme conditions. Information: Sossusvlei Sossusvlei lies approximately 65km to the west of Sesriem in a spectacular dune landscape. The last 5km are only accessible by 4x4 vehicles or on foot. It is the outflow of the Tsauchab River into a basin, resulting in a pan that provides much needed water to gemsbok, ostrich and other game that frequent this desert. Up to 300m high dunes surround the vlei with some green vegetation within the pan. Often the water seeps away into the ground, leaving a white clay surface. Sossusvlei is a part of the Namib Naukluft Park and entry to the vlei must be arranged with the gate office. Days 3&4: Fly to the Damaraland Accommodation: Damaraland Camp (2 Nights, Fully inclusive with activities) The early morning flight takes guests over the Namib and over Sossusvlei itself for an alternative view of the dunes from the air and then due west to Meob Bay on the Skeleton Coast. The desert and Skeleton Coast scenery is spectacular, where the dunes and the desert meet the Atlantic Ocean. The flight up the coast takes you over the site of the Eduard Bolen shipwreck, past Conception Bay and the wreck of the Shaunee, over Sandwich Harbour and its famous lagoon and will land at Swakopmund Airport. You are then transferred to Walvis Bay Harbour for a boat trip (weather permitting) which will allow you the opportunity to view seals and usually schools of dolphins swimming alongside the boat. You may also see turtles, sunfish, penguins, as well as a wonderful quantity and diversity of birdlife. The group will return to Walvis Bay Harbour and following a delicious seafood lunch, be transferred 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 Valley to Damaraland Camp (Doro Nawas is occasionally substituted) for two nights. Accommodation Damaraland Camp is a rare venture which integrates communities, the environment and sustainable wildlife and is rated as the most successful eco-tourism venture in Namibia. Located on the north bank of the Huab River Valley, 90 kilometres inland from Torra Bay on Namibia's Skeleton Coast, the camp presents endless vistas across stark plains, ancient valleys and soaring peaks. The brooding mass of the Brandberg provides a focal point, almost 100 kilometres to the south. Early morning mists, generated by the meeting of the icy Atlantic and the warm land mass along the Skeleton Coast, drift inland along the river line, providing sustenance to varied life-forms. The river flows only once or twice during the short rainy season, seldom breaking through the dunes to the ocean. Activities revolve around nature drives into the Huab River System in search of Desert Elephants and other specially adapted flora and fauna. Walking in the Damaraland area is spectacular and is highly recommended as an afternoon activity. With prior notice, a trip can be arranged to the famous Twyfelfontein rock engravings located nearby. A full day excursion is available to track the endangered Desert Adapted Black Rhino, subject to the availability of a vehicle. Private vehicles for these excursions can be booked at an additional cost subject to availability either prior to departure or directly with the Camp Manager. Information: Damaraland Damaraland with its capital Khorixas was initially a 48,000 km² homeland with 12,000 inhabitants. The tribe originated from central Africa and was ousted by the Hereros, who banished them to the semi-desert. The yearly rainfall decreases from 300 mm in the east to 50 mm in the west. Countless rock paintings can be viewed in Damaraland. By studying rock paintings all over Southern Africa, experts have proven that the prehistoric tribes that lived here were the San (Bushmen) and not the Bantu tribes as generally believed. Days 5&6: Fly to the Etosha, Ongava Game Reserve Accommodation: Ongava Tented Camp Nights, Fully inclusive with activities) We fly by light aircraft today from Damaraland to Ongava Tented Camp (Ongava Lodge is occasionally substituted), for a further two-night stay. Highlights are the game drives into Etosha National Park as well as night drives, nature walks and hides on the private reserve. Accommodation Ongava Tented Camp is a small classic traditional tented camp. Guests sleep in "Meru" tents which are the classic East African style of tent. Each has double doors to allow for uninterrupted views of the bush and waterhole in front of camp and every tent has its own covered veranda. The tents have been tastefully furnished each with its own en-suite thatched bathroom with flush toilet and unique open air private shower. The bar and dining area is built out of rock and thatch and has an intimate feel. Drinks and dinner can be enjoyed around the open air fire place and swimming pool, both of which overlook a productive floodlit waterhole situated at eye level in front of the camp. Mornings are normally spent within Etosha and afternoons on the reserve, tracking white Rhino on foot being one of the many highlights. Additional activities could also include full day excursions into Etosha National Park, taking along a picnic, subject to availability of vehicles. Night drives on Ongava Reserve and visits to one of the hides on the property. Private vehicles can be booked at an additional charge subject to availability either prior to departure or directly with the Camp Manager. Information: Etosha National Park The 5,000 km² park is a part of the Kalahari trough, a huge inland lake area where water has nowhere to go. The Kunene River used to feed this lake but changed its course around 80,000 years ago, turning it into a salt-pan. The lake is mostly dry, unless exceptional rains occur. Temperatures are quite pleasant in the winter months between April and September but the summer months are usually extremely hot. To the south of the Pan, where the camps are situated, waterholes attract game in numbers. The park has approximately 1,500 elephants, 300 lions, black rhinos, leopards, and many antelope species. Although the park is reasonably large, its area is not adequate for the elephants, as they travel thousands of kilometres in their lifetime and keep knocking down the fences. There are plans to increase the size of the park, but as yet no specific decision has been taken. Day 7: Return flight to Windhoek We depart Ongava by light air charter back to Windhoek where the safari ends at either Windhoek Eros or Windhoek International Airport. The safari generally ends at about 13h00. |
