Day 1-3: A Private Safari | 2 Nights

Your adventure begins at a private 60,000-acre (24,000 hectares) game reserve, where you’ll check in at Safarihoek Lodge for two nights. Set against the expansive northern Namibia savannah, Etosha Heights Private Reserve offers an exceptional wildlife experience with sightings of elephant, lion, giraffe, and both black and white rhino. The reserve’s exclusive setting allows for morning and afternoon game drives, as well as guided walks and thrilling spot-lit night drives. Photographers will particularly appreciate the camp’s strategically placed hide, overlooking a flood-lit waterhole—perfect for capturing close-up views of wildlife, especially in the late afternoon and evening.

Day 3-5: Mountain Wildernes| 2 Nights

Relax as you embark on a scenic drive west, leaving the savannah behind and heading into Namibia’s Kaokoveld region. Known for being one of the most sparsely populated areas in the country, the Kaokoveld offers a strikingly beautiful landscape of wind-sculpted mountains, cracked river valleys, scattered boulders, and twisted thorn trees. Your home for the next stay is Hoanib Valley Camp, perched above a rare green strip of vegetation that follows a desert river, supporting a rich variety of wildlife. Here, you’ll have the chance to track desert-adapted giraffe, lions, and elephants, either on game drives or on foot with a local Himba guide. Due to its remote location, the camp also offers some of the clearest and most breathtaking night skies you’ll ever experience.

Day 5-7: Explore Skeleton Coast | 2 Nights

Embark on another scenic drive as you make your way to your final destination: an artfully designed suite overlooking the harsh yet mesmerizing Atlantic Ocean along Namibia’s legendary Skeleton Coast. Shipwreck Lodge is nestled in a surreal landscape where the horizon seems to shift between sea, sky, and sand, all bathed in a hazy sun.

Here, you can immerse yourself in the untouched beauty of an untamed wilderness while searching for unique coastal wildlife, like scavenging brown hyenas. For those seeking adventure, activities such as quad-biking and sandboarding await. Back at the lodge, you’ll find comfort in your en suite bathroom, a wood-burning stove to keep you warm, and a suite equipped with Wi-Fi, solar-powered lighting, and a battery-charging station, ensuring a perfect blend of nature and convenience.
