Namibia

Your expedition begins in Johannesburg and continues to Sossusvlei where the Red Dunes rise 1,000 feet above the plains and are known for their changing hues. Fly along the Skeleton Coast then inland to Damaraland Camp, north of the Huab River Valley. Experience plains, ancient valleys and peaks, including Brandberg Mountain, as well as morning mists off the Atlantic Ocean. View a variety of wildlife on game drives in 4×4 vehicles and bushwalks. See petroglyphs and paintings carved in the sandstone 6,000 years ago at Twyfelfontein. Conclude your expedition in Etosha National Park, Namibia’s premier wildlife reserve.
