Th best of Namibia at affordable prices at the heart of peak season

Using FlyNamibia's safari circuit, this safari allows guest to explore as much of Namibia as possible in a short time, with reduced costs

This cleverly designed fly-in itinerary uses FlyNamibia’s safari circuit, allowing you to cover vast distances in comfort and style - without the high cost of private charter. Ideal for travellers short on time but keen to see Namibia’s highlights, it connects remote desert landscapes, dramatic coastlines and wildlife-rich reserves with ease.

Ruth, Senior Africa Specialist, says, “This is such a smart way to see Namibia. You avoid long drives but still get to explore some of the country’s most spectacular places. The value is excellent, the logistics are seamless, and the combination of landscapes, wildlife and unique stays – especially the sleepout – makes it feel really special.”

Flying between lodges means you spend less time driving and more time experiencing Namibia’s extraordinary diversity - from the towering dunes of Sossusvlei to the rocky outcrops of Damaraland and the world-class game viewing of Etosha. A highlight of the trip is a unique ‘Dream Cruiser’ sleepout in Onguma Reserve, where you’ll fall asleep under one of the darkest skies on Earth.

Your journey begins with an overnight stay in Windhoek, where you’ll meet a local representative for a full briefing. Then it’s off to Kwessi Dunes in the NamibRand Nature Reserve - a remote and scenic desert base, perfect for stargazing, walks and a guided visit to Sossusvlei. Next, fly over the Skeleton Coast to Swakopmund for two nights of sea air, time to explore town, and a relaxing catamaran cruise along the Atlantic.

Continue north to Damaraland and the striking setting of Mowani Mountain Camp. Over two nights, visit ancient San rock art sites and head out in search of desert-adapted elephants. From here, fly to Safarihoek Lodge on the southwest border of Etosha for game drives, walking safaris, and waterhole wildlife viewing. Finally, cross Etosha by air to Onguma Game Reserve for three nights, including a sleepout in their custom-built Dream Cruiser and game activities on foot and by vehicle.

Perfect for those with limited time who don’t want to compromise on experience. This itinerary suits couples or solo travellers looking for comfort, scenery and variety without long days on the road. It’s also ideal for a first-time visit to Namibia - stylish, seamless, and full of memorable moments.


Trip Itinerary

Day 1 Arrive Windhoek

You’ll be met on arrival at Windhoek Hosea Kutako Airport by one of our professional chauffeur drivers and transferred into town in an ATI luxury vehicle. After checking in, take some time to settle in and unwind. One of our representatives will meet you at The Weinberg Windhoek around 4pm for a full trip briefing. If you're arriving later in the day, the briefing will take place at 8am the following morning.

During the briefing, we’ll walk you through your itinerary, marked road map, vouchers, and any last-minute details to ensure everything runs smoothly. We're also happy to arrange dinner reservations for your first night in Windhoek, if that hasn’t already been taken care of.

Days 2 - 4 South to the Desert

Staying at Kwessi Dunes

One of our chauffeur drivers will collect you this morning and transfer you back to the airport in time to connect with your flight. Your pilot will escort you to the domestic terminal and through security to your light aircraft. Your flight will be shared with other passengers. Enjoy a beautiful flight over Namibia's central plateau and the Naukluft Mountains, before landing near the NamibRand Natural Reserve close to Sesriem & Sossusvlei.

January

Bring your umbrella, it's rainy season. January is mid-summer in Namibia with the possibility of torrential downpours mid afternoon, but with temperatures of 30-35 degrees it tends to be hot and humid.

In March, rainfall starts to decrease and temperatures lower with nights becoming increasingly cool. Although daytime temperatures remain hot reaching up to 30 degrees.

April

April is predominantly dry and hot, although there can be a couple of sporadic rainy days across the month.

May

Winter is coming. May has little or no rainfall and the humidity is low, in northern regions around Etosha you'll find fresher, greener landscapes with wildlife gathering around depleting watering holes.

  • If you're looking to tackle the Fish River Canyon Hike this is the best time to visit Namibia.

In June the nights are cold and temperatures can drop below 10 degrees, whilst in the Namib desert it can reach below freezing. There is no chance of rain as the dry season is in full flow.

Visitors in July will experience one of Namibia's coldest months, be sure to pack warm clothing as game drives can be chilly.

August

Like July, visitors in August will experience one of Namibia's coldest months, be sure to pack warm clothing as game drives can be chilly and night time temperatures can drop below freezing both at the coast and inland.

In October game viewing is at its best, the vegetation is fading with temperatures rising up to 29 degrees.

November

Heat continues to rise, with humidity levels remaining low, however there is a chance of rain in the afternoons.

December

December brings the first rains of the season, bringing everything to life as animals start to disperse as more water becomes available.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel (and I believe are) very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
