Trip Summary
Either before or after your main trip (depending on how you choose to structure it), we fly to the Namib Desert, staying at Kulala Desert Lodge in the heart of the Namib, offering magnificent views of the famous red dunes of Sossusvlei, as well as magnificent mountainous scenery and vast open plains. Twelve thatched and canvas chalets or "Kulalas" (Kulala in the Namibian language "Oshiwambo" means "to sleep") with en-suite bathrooms and showers are set on wooden platforms to provide maximum airflow. For outdoor enthusiasts, mattresses can be moved to the rooftop to sleep under the stars from a private star gazing platform.
Early morning guided game drives to the spectacular dunes are through a private gate on the Tsauchab River.
Game drives and walks are also offered on the private reserve with incredible views, desert game and smaller desert fauna and flora. Another option, at an extra cost, is early morning ballooning. Beginning at first light, the 60-90 minute balloon safari offers a truly unique experience to soar silently above the magnificent sand dunes and desert - with a champagne breakfast served at your landing site.
On Day 2, we conduct an early morning excursion in safari vehicles to the Namib Naukluft Park to the famed Namib Sand Sea and to the magnificent Sossusvlei dunes. Once in the desert optional excursions are conducted on foot to photograph the dune landscape and the desert ecology or to climb some of the highest known dunes in the world. Afternoon nature drive activities in safari vehicles are conducted on the reserve.
On Day 3 we fly back to Windhoek on your charter flight, transfer to your hotel if your main trip is about to begin, or for your flight home if your main trip has already been completed.
