Luxury Namibia Flying Safari

Arrive in Windhoek around midday, where you’ll be met on arrival and transferred into the city for an overnight stay at the beautifully designed Olive Exclusive. Set on a hillside with sweeping views across Windhoek, this boutique hotel offers the perfect place to unwind after your flight. Spacious suites, private plunge pools, and one of the city’s best restaurants on site make it an ideal starting point for your Namibian adventure. Spend the afternoon at leisure, soaking in the views and settling into the relaxed rhythm of the journey ahead.

Start your day with breakfast on the terrace before transferring to Windhoek’s small Eros Airport for your scenic flight south to Sossusvlei, one of Namibia’s most iconic landscapes. From the air, take in sweeping views of ochre dunes, rocky outcrops, dry riverbeds and remote farmland stretching to the horizon. On arrival, you’ll be met and driven to the elegant Little Kulala, your home for the next two nights. This afternoon is yours to unwind - take a dip in the main pool or soak in the views from your private plunge pool as the desert light shifts around you. Later, head out on a late afternoon drive through the private Kulala Reserve, rounding off the day with a classic sundowner in the wild.

This morning will see an early start as you enjoy breakfast before dawn and then set off to explore the towering red sand dunes of Sossusvlei. The Kulala Reserve has its own private gate to the dunes, meaning you will be there before the crowds arrive and can enjoy a few precious, peaceful and private moments in this truly incredible area. Climb the dunes, stroll through the eerily beautiful Dead Vlei and learn more about their formation from your guide. After a Champagne breakfast deep in the desert, you will have some time to explore the Sesriem Canyon before heading back to the lodge in time for lunch and then an afternoon relaxing.

Enjoy a leisurely morning at the lodge before being transferred to the airstrip for your flight north to the striking landscapes of Damaraland. The route takes you via Swakopmund, offering spectacular aerial views - with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and razor-backed dunes spilling down to the shore on the other.

On arrival, you’ll be met and driven to Desert Rhino Camp, one of Namibia’s most iconic wilderness properties, where you’ll spend the next two nights. A range of activities is available from camp, including rhino tracking and nature drives, or you can simply relax and soak up the stillness and beauty of the desert.

Today offers what is likely to be one of the most memorable moments of your time in Namibia: the chance to track desert-adapted rhino on foot. Guided by expert rangers from the Save the Rhino Trust, this is more than just a wildlife experience - it’s an insight into one of Africa’s most important conservation stories. You’ll learn about the unique adaptations of these remarkable animals and the tireless work being done to protect them from poaching in one of their last strongholds. With one of the most stable rhino populations on the continent, Namibia leads the way in rhino conservation, and a day spent tracking from Desert Rhino Camp is an unforgettable way to be part of it.

Enjoy a relaxed morning soaking up the views from camp before transferring to the airstrip for your flight north into the striking Hoanib River Valley - an ideal gateway to the remote and otherworldly Skeleton Coast. You’ll be spending the next three nights at Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp, one of Namibia’s most sought-after and sustainably designed lodges. This afternoon, unwind by the pool or simply take in the dramatic desert scenery that surrounds you. Later, the camp’s expert guides and management team will talk you through the experiences on offer and help tailor a programme that makes the most of your time in this extraordinary region.

Start off your day with breakfast in the camp before setting off by 4x4 to explore your way through the Hoanib River Valley and on to the desolate but alluringly beautiful Skeleton Coast. Along the way, you will stop at the Klein Oases spring and drive through fields of towering dunes before reaching the coast. Here you can explore shipwrecks, spot wildlife including seals and jackals exploring on the beach and visit the Skeleton Coast Museum. The day will be rounded off by an afternoon flight back to camp, which offers a different perspective on the region and is a superb way to end your day.

Today, you’ll explore the wild and rugged landscapes closer to camp, heading out with your guides to discover the Hoanib Valley. Nature drives offer the chance to spot desert-adapted elephant, giraffe, zebra and other wildlife that thrive in this starkly beautiful environment. The area is also home to several conservation research projects, and depending on availability, you may have the chance to meet some of the researchers working here. Your guides, however, are a wealth of knowledge in their own right and will bring the landscape and its stories to life. Between activities, take time to savour the peaceful setting and the camp’s warm, understated hospitality. The food here is particularly impressive - fresh, creative and all the more remarkable given the camp’s remote location.

After breakfast, you will bid farewell to the beautiful Hoanib Valley and fly way north, right to Namibia's border with Angola, where you will be spending 3 nights at the stunning Serra Cafema Camp, which sits right on the banks of the Kunene River. This is a land of rolling dunes, secret oases surrounded by palm trees and is dominated by the Kunene River, where enormous crocodiles sun themselves on the banks. Spend this afternoon relaxing in the camp, enjoying the views out to Angola on the far bank whilst the wonderfully friendly staff serve you food and drink in the sunshine.

Start your exploration of the Kunene Region today in the company of your expert local guides. Amongst the activities on offer are guided quad bike rides through the dunes, boat trips on the Kunene River, nature drives, guided walks and visits to see the nomadic Himba people who live in the secluded valleys of the area. In between activities sit back and enjoy the lovely surroundings of the camp and perhaps have a massage as you gaze out over the gently flowing waters of the Kunene River.

Given you will be enjoying a 3-night stay, there will be the chance to enjoy a day trip to the breathtaking Marienfluss Valley, an area of incredible landscapes and wide open spaces. This is one of the most beautiful parts of the whole country and a truly mesmerising experience as you get a true feeling of the space, peace and tranquillity for which Namibia is renowned. Return to camp in the latter part of the afternoon, where you will have some time to relax before a final alfresco dinner underneath the stars.

After a leisurely breakfast, you’ll be transferred to the airstrip for your return flight to Windhoek - a final opportunity to take in Namibia’s striking landscapes from the air, from desert plains to rugged mountains and winding riverbeds. On arrival at Eros Airport, you’ll be met and transferred back to The Olive Exclusive Boutique Hotel for your final night. This evening, enjoy a relaxed farewell dinner at the hotel, or if you prefer, head out to one of Windhoek’s well-regarded local restaurants for a taste of the city’s dining scene.
