Days 2–4 SOSSUSVLEI
Flying southwest from Windhoek, you’ll soar over the dramatic Naukluft Mountains and the vast, rolling dunes of the Namib Desert, before landing at the Kulala Wilderness Reserve. From there, you’ll transfer to Wilderness Little Kulala, an intimate and luxurious retreat nestled within the 27,000-hectare reserve. Like its sister property, Wilderness Kulala Desert Lodge, Little Kulala boasts its own private airstrip and access road into the dune fields, ensuring a seamless experience for guests.
With just 11 exquisitely designed chalets, each featuring climate control, indoor and outdoor showers, private plunge pools, and separate star beds, this lodge offers an unparalleled desert experience.

Days 4–7 THE SKELETON COAST
Leaving the Namib behind, your journey continues northeast toward Namibia’s dramatic coastline, flying over the ancient wilderness of Damaraland and into the heart of Skeleton Coast National Park. Here, you’ll arrive at Wilderness Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp, an iconic and secluded retreat situated in the vast, otherworldly Kaokoveld region.
This camp, one of Namibia’s most remote, features just eight spacious and creatively designed tents, offering an intimate and exclusive experience. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, the stark beauty of the region is matched by its surprising vitality. Guided excursions reveal desert-adapted wildlife such as elephants, giraffes, and lions thriving against the odds. Guests can also visit the hauntingly beautiful coast, where shipwrecks tell stories of the past and massive colonies of Cape fur seals gather along the shoreline.
A stay at Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp is an unforgettable adventure into one of Namibia’s most enigmatic and awe-inspiring regions.
Days 7–10 KUNENE REGION
After your stay at Hoanib, your adventure continues further north to the extraordinary Wilderness Serra Cafema, one of the most remote camps in all of Africa. Situated approximately 250 kilometers from the nearest village, this camp offers an unparalleled escape into a true wilderness, where nomadic tribes thrive in one of the planet’s most arid landscapes.
Perched along the lush banks of the Kunene River, Serra Cafema boasts an idyllic setting at the base of a river valley that cuts through the rugged terrain. The river serves as a natural border, with Angola to the north and Namibia to the south, creating a striking contrast between the flowing water and the surrounding rocky mountains.
Activities at Serra Cafema are as diverse as the landscape itself. You’ll explore this incredible region through game drives, quad biking adventures, riverboat safaris, and walking excursions. One of the highlights of this experience is the opportunity to engage with the local Himba tribes, one of Namibia’s last semi-nomadic communities, offering an authentic cultural connection that enriches your journey.
