Stay:The Olive Exclusive All-Suite Hotel – boutique luxury with stylish suites and fine dining.

Drive south into the Namib-Naukluft National Park, home to towering red dunes, rugged mountains, and surreal desert landscapes. Highlights include the iconic Sossusvlei dunes and the haunting Deadvlei pan. Sunrise over the desert is a must.
Stay:Namib Outpost – luxury suites overlooking the Namib Sand Sea UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Stay:Desert Breeze Lodge – a creative hideaway with sweeping views of endless dunes

Head north into Damaraland, a land of ancient rock formations, desert-adapted elephants, and petrified forests. Visit Twyfelfontein, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with rock engravings dating back thousands of years, and explore the dramatic landscapes.
Stay:Mowani Mountain Camp – perched among granite boulders with panoramic views.

Spend three days in Etosha National Park, Namibia’s premier wildlife destination.

Game drives and waterhole viewing offer some of Africa’s most rewarding wildlife encounters.
Stay:Safarihoek Lodge – elegant hilltop lodge with sweeping savannah views and private game drives.

Your adventure continues in the lush, green Waterberg region, a dramatic sandstone plateau that contrasts Namibia’s deserts.
