This short fly-in honeymoon involves stops at 3 of Namibia's most iconic regions, the famous red dunes of Sossusvlei; the untamed and ruggedly beautiful Damaraland, known for its desert-adapted species and the safari heaven that is Etosha. Begin at Little Kulala camp, a luxurious desert and gateway to the famous Sossusvlei. Climb the famous dunes or fly over them in a hot air balloon. Also enjoy nature drives, walking trails, guided quad biking, sundowner tours and scorpion night walks.
Then head to Damaraland Camp where game drives will reveal fascinating wildlife including desert-adapted elephant. On guided nature walks you can learn about the ancient geological past and present of Damaraland as well as about the unique plants, reptiles and birds that have adapted to this arid area. The final leg of your journey is at Ongava Tented Camp located in the private Ongava Game Reserve, bordering the Etosha National Park. Wildlife is numerous including elephant, lion, giraffe, black and white rhino and several antelope species. In addition to the day and night game drives you can also go rhino tracking on foot in the company of a trained guide, partake in nature walks around the camp or sit in photographic hides waiting on the wildlife to come to you.
