This itinerary takes in the most diverse and exceptional areas of Namibia. From the diverse ecosystem of Etosha to the arid and rocky areas of Damaraland and the opportunity of seeing the very rare desert black rhino and elephants.

On to the wild western shore of the Infamous Skeleton Coast, where the desert meats the sea. Here you have the opportunity to view Humpback whales, dolphins and huge resident seal colonies. The sea is icy as the Atlantic Ocean brings in the nutrient rich benguela current and creates a palpable mist that meets the warm air of the desert. As the mist retreats you will see why this coastline was so notorious - revealing the skeletons of the shipwrecks reaching their gnarled fingers into the sky.

Sossusvlei takes you on to the blood red dunes of the Naukluft area. True desert with all its fascinatingly adapted animals and plants. There is no doubt that you will return from a trip to Namibia with a new perspective on the world and an understanding of perfect silence.
