Inspirational natural wonders honeymoon to Namibia
A magical fly-in Namibia vacation taking in spectacular dunes at Sossusvlei; the ancient Namib Desert's famed Kaokoveld; the Skeleton Coast, at arguably one of the most remove camps in Africa and a private safari bordering the Etosha National Park. Sossusvlei Desert Lodge is your first stop, a desertscape of sand, stones, stars, sustainability, and silence. Walk across ancient sands, hike the famous Dunes, take to the sky in a hot air balloon and luxuriate in the views from your private plunge pool. Next, Hoanib Skeleton Coast showcases the Namib Desert's rust-coloured crags and arid plains. Go in search of desert-adapted wildlife - elephants, lions, hyaenas, giraffes and oryxes or see the Skeleton Coast, a wild stretch of the Atlantic where the desert meets the sea and where the white sand beaches are littered with whale bones and shipwreck remains.
Journey then to Africa's most remote camp, the truly magical Serra Cafema, located in the extreme north-west of Namibia on the banks of the Kunene River in the Hartmann's Valley. There's an otherworldly feel here because the river is a total contrast to the arid desert and rugged mountains around it. Explore on scenic walks, nature drives, quad bikes and boat trips on the Kunene River. Cap off this wilderness experience with a Big 5 safari at Ongava Private Game Reserve which borders the Etosha National Park. From your ultra-exclusive camp, Little Ongava, you will see elephants, lions, giraffe, black and white rhino and several antelope species. The unique opportunity to track rhino on foot in the company of trained guides is certainly an African adventure never to be forgotten.
