   This Namibian adventure begins with two nights in northern Damaraland at the unique Desert Rhino Camp. Set amongst rolling hills and vast open plains within the private Palmwag concession, this region is remote and wild offering guests the opportunity to discover the desert adapted wildlife including elephant and lion, as well as one of the largest populations of free roaming black rhino found in Africa. Explore the concession on foot or by vehicle, tracking these endangered giants. Take part in guided nature drives on the reserve learning all about the desert flora and fauna and enjoy game drives with a picnic lunch, exploring at your own pace.

3. Days 3-6: Skeleton Coast, Namibia

   From Damaraland fly to the heart of the Skeleton Coast to enjoy three nights at Hoanib Valley Camp.  Located in the stark Kaokoland landscape, this area has only recently become accessible to travelers, offering a true wilderness experience unlike any other. Surrounded by towering mountains, vast landscapes, dry river beds and sand dunes, this area is home to desert wildlife including elephant, rhino and giraffe, as well as being home to some of the last remaining nomadic Himba tribes. Learn about how the different wildlife species survive and thrive in such harsh conditions and meet the local Himba families to learn about their local traditions.

4. Days 6-8: Skeleton Coast

   For your next stop, you will enjoy a scenic flight over the desert towards the coastline where you will embark on two nights at the distinctly designed Shipwreck Lodge.

While magical, this area is stark and eerie and unlike anywhere else.
