NAMIBIA (SAMPLE ITINERARY)
Day 1: Upon your early morning arrival at Hosea Kutako International Airport (Windhoek Airport), you will collect your luggage and proceed into the Arrivals hall. There you will be met and assisted onto your small plane, for your scheduled flight to the heart of the Namib Desert, one of the oldest (and driest) places on earth, and certainly home to some of the most spectacular sand dunes imaginable! When your plane arrives in Sossusvlei, you will find yourself in one of the world’s most remarkable areas at the edge of the world’s oldest desert. The Namib – known as “The Living Desert” – is a world of vast space, endless horizons, dramatic desert landscapes landscapes and jagged mountain heights. It is considered to be the oldest desert in in the world and is home to the magnificent Sossusvlei dunes, dunes , which are often referred to as the highest dunes in the world.
Upon your arrival in Sossusvlei, you will be met by your hosts and transferred to the luxurious Little Kulala, situated on the western side of the Kulala Wilderness Reserve. Little Kulala is the only property with its own private gate into the legendary Sossusvlei Reserve.
Kulala is the Swahili word for “place of rest,” and this stylish camp is designed to provide a sense of comfort and serenity in the midst of the vast expanses of the Namibian desert. Your comfortable air-conditioned room has vast expanses of glass facing the landscape, and a private lounging deck with a (really, really small) plunge pool. Best yet, your room features a little sleeping deck on the roof, in case you wish to enjoy a magical night under the starry desert sky. Lunch will be awaiting your arrival. Once you are settled in and have a bit of time to freshen up, you will meet your guide for a brief orientation and then will begin your afternoon drive, an introduction to the landscape and the natural life of the desert. The abundance and diversity of life that the desert supports may surprise you. Dinner at your camp.
