The Journey – Your Itinerary

2 Nights · Fully Inclusive

A rhino and elephant sanctuary thirty minutes from Windhoek, and the gentlest possible start to the wild.

Home to the Shiloh Wildlife Sanctuary, a refuge for injured and abandoned rhino and elephant, this 9,000-hectare private reserve sets an unhurried tone — conservation-focused game drives tracking rhino, elephant and big cats, a sunrise visit to the resident meerkat clan, and culinary evenings built around fresh local produce.

THE STAY — ZANNIER OMAANDA
A five-star lodge of round thatched huts paying tribute to traditional Ovambo architecture, with a heated infinity pool, spa and fireside boma. Welcomes children from age 6.

2 Nights · Fully Inclusive

A fortress on the edge of the Etosha Pans, and a night spent sleeping beneath the stars atop a Land Cruiser.

Bordering Fisher’s Pan and Etosha National Park itself, Onguma’s 35,480 hectares support plains game, black rhino and more than 300 bird species — morning and sunset game drives in both the private reserve and Etosha, an armed-guide walking safari, and the signature sleep-out aboard Onguma’s custom-built ‘Dream Cruiser’.

THE STAY — ONGUMA THE FORT
A one-of-a-kind fort-style lodge positioned for what may be the best sunset view in Namibia, with a floodlit waterhole and direct access to Etosha’s Big Five wildlife.

2 Nights · Fully Inclusive

A camp built into granite boulders, facing Namibia’s highest peak.

This UNESCO World Heritage rock-art valley, home to the Huab River’s desert-adapted wildlife, is best explored from a camp that disappears into the landscape itself — guided nature drives tracking desert-adapted elephant and rhino, a private 4×4 excursion to Twyfelfontein’s ancient rock engravings, guided bush walks, and a night on a private star-bed.

THE STAY — ONDULI RIDGE
Six naturally ventilated suites hidden among granite boulders, facing the Brandberg — Namibia’s highest mountain — with a library and infinity pool built into the rock.

3 Nights · Fully Inclusive

Africa’s first International Dark Sky Reserve, and an observatory built for exactly this moment.

One of the oldest deserts on Earth, NamibRand’s dunes, gravel plains and mysterious ‘fairy circles’ are matched only by its skies — sunrise 4×4 drives into Namib-Naukluft National Park, guided desert walks and quad-bike excursions, a seasonal scenic helicopter flight over Sossusvlei, and evening stargazing with the resident astronomer on a Celestron CPC 1100 telescope.

THE STAY — ANDBEYOND SOSSUSVLEI DESERT LODGE
Ten stone-and-glass suites along an escarpment, each with a star-viewing skylight over the bed, a spring-fed pool, and an on-site observatory with a resident astronomer.

2 Nights · Fully Inclusive

A 1920s explorer’s camp atop the boulders, ending in a four-course dinner on top of a dune.

At the southern extremity of the Namib Desert, this final chapter trades the observatory for an open-air cinema and a dune-top dining table set beneath the same extraordinary sky — morning and sunset nature drives across 13,800 acres of private reserve, desert horse-riding, guided desert walks and e-bike rides, and an included four-course dinner served atop a nearby dune.

THE STAY — ZANNIER SONOP
Ten richly furnished tents built atop granite boulders, styled as a 1920s British colonial explorer’s camp, with black-tie, white-glove dinner service each evening.

Transfer to Hosea Kutako International Airport, Windhoek, for departure.
