Locations
Windhoek: Namibia’s capital blends German influence with contemporary African energy. Set amid the Khomas Hochland highlands, it offers a relaxed introduction to the country — a place to pause, prepare and enjoy its cosmopolitan charm before the wilderness unfolds.
Sossusvlei: At the heart of the Namib Desert, Sossusvlei is a place of pure geometry and light — vast red dunes, bleached clay pans and desert horizons that shift with every sunrise. Here, the silence is profound, the stars endless, and the sense of space is unlike anywhere else on Earth.
Swakopmund: Swakopmund is Namibia’s most sought-after coastal town by local and international tourists alike. Situated at the mouth of the Swakop River in the Namib Desert, this one-of-a-kind location is known for its German colonial architecture, long beaches, and desert-adapted plant and animal species. It is also the gateway to some of the largest sand dunes in the world and offers a variety of adrenaline-pumping activities, including quad biking, skydiving, and sea kayaking. Swakopmund is like a German North Sea town with an African flair (or vice versa).
Locations (continued)
Damaraland: A realm of sculpted mountains and dry river valleys, Damaraland captures Namibia’s raw essence. This rugged wilderness shelters desert-adapted elephants, elusive black rhino and an ancient human story told through rock engravings — a meeting point of geology, wildlife and culture.
Etosha National Park: A wildlife safari and photographer’s dream, Etosha is renowned for its vast salt pans and abundant wildlife, including black and white rhino, elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, brown and spotted hyena, ostriches and many species of plains wildlife. Waterholes attract incredible gatherings of animals, perfect for photography.
Onguma Private Reserve: On Etosha's eastern boundary, Onguma offers superb game-viewing in a tranquil, exclusive setting. Onguma hosts lion, cheetah, leopard, brown and spotted hyena, black rhino, elephant, kudu, giraffe, eland, oryx, hartebeest, zebra and black-faced impala.
Lodges
1 night at The Windhoek (Windhoek). A stylish boutique hotel offering comfort and convenience in the capital, ideal for the first night’s rest before the desert journey begins.
2 nights at Dead Valley Lodge (Namib Desert). A luxury tented camp inside Namib-Naukluft National Park, perfectly positioned for sunrise over Sossusvlei’s towering dunes and excursions to Deadvlei and Sesriem Canyon.
2 nights at The Delight Swakopmund (Swakopmund). A contemporary coastal hotel offering modern comfort, excellent dining and easy access to Swakopmund’s many activities and restaurants.
2 nights at Twyfelfontein Adventure Camp (Damaraland). A comfortable tented camp set amid rugged sandstone formations, close to the famous Twyfelfontein rock engravings and desert-adapted elephant habitat.
1 night at Okaukuejo Resort (Etosha National Park). A well-known rest camp with an active waterhole visited by elephants, rhinos and lions, providing excellent game viewing, even at night.
1 night at Onguma Bush Camp (bordering Etosha National Park). Set on a private reserve bordering Etosha, Onguma Bush Camp combines elegant comfort with exceptional safari experiences and warm Namibian hospitality.
Timing
Namibia is a year-round destination, with each season offering a different character. The dry season (May to October) is ideal for wildlife viewing, with animals gathering at waterholes and sparse vegetation making them easier to see. The Namib Desert’s dunes are at their most photogenic at sunrise and sunset, and Damaraland’s landscapes glow in soft golden light. The cooler evenings are perfect for campfires under Namibia’s famous night skies.
November to April brings warmer temperatures and occasional rains that transform the landscape with green flushes, and migratory bird species arrive in droves. Sossusvlei is spectacular year-round, but ballooning is best in the calm early mornings from May to September.

“Roadside purchases”
Stefan Winterboer, AG Namibia safari expert: "In Damaraland, you’ll pass roadside stalls selling crystals and minerals. It’s best to avoid buying from these — while beautiful, the trade isn’t sustainable or beneficial to the local communities."
“Slow down”
Ramona Cilliers, AG Namibia safari expert: “I love how Namibia's arid landscapes offer so much detail if you slow down and take it all in. I enjoy bird-watching while waiting in Damaraland's remote canyons for desert-adapted elephants and giraffes to drop by for a drink at an isolated seep."
“Staggering wildlife volumes”
Luis Gama, AG Namibia safari expert: “For me, Namibia is about finding and watching the desert-adapted wildlife like elephants, lions, black rhino and oryx. Among my favourite moments are spending hours at Etosha's waterholes at the peak of the dry season - when the volume of animals coming and going is staggering”
