Namibia Luxury Lodge and Safari

You’ll be met at the airport just outside Windhoek and driven 45 minutes in air conditioned luxury to your gorgeous boutique hotel in a quiet corner of Namibia’s capital.

This morning you will be met by your private guide who will accompany you throughout this holiday.

Your guide will drive you for 2.5 hour to Okonjima Nature Reserve, staying at their luxury bush camp. Nestled at the base of the Omboroko Mountains, the luxury camp contains eight thatched chalets, all decorated using locally sourced materials and a touch of African charm and spaced well apart, so you have your own little slice of African wilderness. There's a shared lounge area and open-air pool.

Today you will head deep into the Okonjima nature reserve, a 2000 hectare wilderness where leopard, hyena, pangolins, and honey badgers can roam free, under the protection of the AfriCat Foundation.

It's a 4 hour drive today to get to your luxury camp at the eastern side of Etosha National Park. Onguma tented camp has a collection of luxury tented rooms and it's own watering hole, where animals come to drink. We've included a private bush dinner, so you will dine under the stars tonight whilst listening to the sounds of the wildlife that surrounds you. Perhaps take a zip in the wood-fired hot tub.

This morning you'll be collected from the camp for your morning safari drive at Etosha National Park. The open vehicles allow you to get a clear view of the animals and the parks includes all three of the big cats: cheetah, lion, and leopard. You're also likely to see elephant, rhino, zebra, giraffe, springbok, oryx, wildebeest and a vast range of other animals that are adapted to the salt flats and grasslands of Etosha. You'll return to Onguma tented camp and can enjoy time at the pool and a a gourmet meal out in the open, under the shelter of canvas.

It's a 6.5 hour drive to get to Mowani Mountain Camp but there will be plenty to stop-off and see along the way. You'll pass a range of beautiful scenery, from dry desert landscapes to vast salt pans and acacia woodlands. Remote Damaraland is home to a huge number of elephants and its likely that you'll spot some on your drive. Mowani Mountain Camp is in the pretties surroundings, with luxury huts hidden amongst large boulders with softened edges. There's a gorgeous pool to cool off in a shared outdoor seating areas, which is just perfect for watching those pink African sunsets.

Your camp is close to the UNESCO heritage site of Twyfelfontein and this morning you will head out on a safari drive to spot the desert adapted elephants that live here. You might also spot rhino, ostrich, Damara hornbill, and even cheetah if you're lucky! In the afternoon you can relax back at the mountain camp and enjoy a cool drink at the sunset bar.

This morning you will head to the Damara Living Museum, where you can get to know the traditions of the Damara Bushmen. Sadly, during the colonisation of Namibia the bushmen's way of life was largely lost and the Damara Living Museum is one of several across Namibia, where the aim is to maintain the old practices and way of life of the bushmen who ones lived in harmony with Namibia's landscape.

It takes 3 hours and 20 minutes to get from Mowani Mountain Camp to the Ai Aiba Rock Painting Lodge, in the Erongo Mountains. A collection of lodges sit at the bottom of a boulder-covered hill covered, in a flat landscape, surrounded by Erongo's mountains in the distance. The dry, red-earth of the floor is broken up by trees and smooth boulders and open air pool is a great spot to enjoy the veiw!

This morning you will head out for a drive into the mountains and will visit a range of boulders where you can see the rock art of the bushmen, some painted thousands of years ago. You'll return to your luxury lodge at lunch, so you'll have plenty of time to relax and enjoy your surroundings.

Your final drive today is a 3 hour journey into Windhoek, Namibia's capital. If you set off early, you'll have plenty of time in the afternoon to enjoy the German architecture and city highlights, such as the botanic gardens and a range of fantastic restaurants. We recommend visiting the Namibia Craft Centre if you want to buy some souvenirs to take home with you.

Today your guide will take you to the airport. You'll say goodbye and catch your flight home.
