7-Day Namibia | Fly-in NamibRand Nature Reserve, Kaokoland & Skeleton Coast National Park

Welcome to Namibia! You’ll be met by your guide at Hosea Kutako International Airport in Windhoek and then embark on your light-aircraft flight to Kwessi Dunes in the NamibRand Nature Reserve, just south of Sossusvlei. Here, G&Ts will be ready and waiting! Settle in and relax around the airy main living area before enjoying your dinner under the stars and retiring to the campfire for post-dinner safari tales

Today, you’ll spend time exploring the magical NamibRand and Sossuvlei area, whether simply by soaking up the magic of the location or by partaking in the activities on offer, including morning and afternoon scenic drives, nature walks and quad biking, to name a few. Whatever your choice, this will be a day to remember. Don’t forget your binocs to keep a lookout for springbok and oryx, as well as some of the rarer creatures like aardwolf.

Hop back on the plane for a scenic flight over the famous Eduard Bohlen shipwreck, Conception Bay and Sandwich Harbour, before touching down in Swakopmund for a beach lunch. Then, it’s onward to Hoanib Valley Camp, over the dramatic Skeleton Coast and then inland to the beautiful interior of the country, where you can enjoy your dinner under the African sky.

Spend today looking for desert-adapted giraffes, game driving through the sandy terrain or visiting the local Himba communities. You may be lucky enough to spot desert lion and rhino. One certainty, however, is that there is lots on offer. End your day with dinner under the stars, swapping stories of your adventures around the crackling campfire.

Get ready to enjoy the best transfer drive on the continent! You’ll pass incredible rock formations and desert-elephant digging for water before arriving at the crashing waves and rolling dunes of the Skeleton Coast. Wow! See the day out with dinner in the ship-style dining room, surrounded by candelabras and old silverware.

Enjoy your time at the award-winning Shipwreck Lodge. Activities on offer include quad biking, visits to the Clay Castle and seal colony and game drives. You could be lucky enough to spot giraffes, lions, baboons, elephant and elusive brown hyena in the dunes, while at the coast you’ll find hundreds of Cape fur seals at the Möwe Bay seal colony, and plenty of birds flitting through the chilly ocean spray. Otherwise, just put your feet up and admire the views.

This morning you’ll meet the plane and fly back down the stunning Atlantic Coastline, before arriving back in Windhoek for your onward travel arrangements.
