Kwessi Dunes, NamibRand Nature Reserve - Tent - Inclusive of meals, scheduled shared lodge activities, private Sossusvlei excursion with guide & vehicle & most local drinks

Kwessi Dunes is situated in 15,000 hectares of exclusive desert with access to Namibia’s NamibRand Nature Reserve, just south of the dunes of Sossusvlei. The NamibRand is an extraordinary private nature reserve of over 200,000 hectares (one of the largest in southern Africa) and was established to protect and conserve the wildlife of the Namib Desert. The landscape is compelling, with vast swathes of arid desert, gravel plains and pockets of green vegetation backed by mountains and distinct reddish dunes that have undoubtedly made the area famous

Strand Hotel, Swakopmund - Luxury Room (Sea-view) - Magic box lunch, seafood dinner, local drinks included - excludes premium and imported brands.

The Strand Hotel has a prime location on the well known “Mole” beachfront and with its extensive, unique and creatively entertaining Restaurants, Bars, Deli, Lobby-Lounge, Sea Facing Terraces, Beach Kiosk and state of the art Conference & Banqueting Center, all set on the Mole, a historic and iconic site surrounded by Ocean on three sides, the Strand Hotel Swakopmund is a social epicenter and destination in itself for all visitors to and residents of Swakopmund.

Shipwreck Lodge, Skeleton Coast - Standard Room - Inclusive of meals, scheduled shared lodge activities & most local drinks.

Shipwreck Lodge is a joint venture partnership with the local communities in the area and it is uniquely designed around the relics of shipwrecks that dot Namibia’s Skeleton Coast. There is nowhere on the continent quite like Shipwreck Lodge, and there is nowhere on earth quite like the Skeleton Coast. It’s a raw, rugged and impossibly remote slice of African wilderness, where towering dunes and wind-swept plains roll as far as the eye can see, buffeted by the icy Atlantic seas. But there’s much more to the area than simple isolation. Stay at Shipwreck Lodge and track desert dwelling elephant and elusive desert lion. Discover the enchanting desert flora (succulents and lichens) then sit atop the dunes as the sun sinks below the horizon. Spend the day beachcombing for whale bones and debris from centuries of shipwrecks or marvel at the geologically-remarkable Clay Castles.

Hoanib Valley Camp, Hoanib - Standard Tent – All meals, activities with guide, and most local brand beverages.

Hoanib Valley Camp: Hoanib Valley Camp is located in the Sesfontein Community Conservancy. It sits on the banks of the Obias River overlooking the ephemeral Hoanib River that teems with resident elephant, giraffe, oryx and springbok, and that makes a visit to this unspoiled corner of Namibia even more memorable. Hoanib Valley’s six guest tents blend almost perfectly into the rugged environment. The colours, textures and patterns are inspired by the experience of the Hoanib; the rich ochre of the dunes, the geometric patterns of the Himba people and, of course, the giraffe that inspired the project. The materials for the camp were sourced locally, and you’ll find furniture shaped by the local Rundu carpenters and Himba carvers, and baskets weaved by the people of the Omba Project in Windhoek. The whole camp is clean and green, leaving virtually no footprint on this fragile eco-system. It’s entirely solar powered to ensure carbon emissions are kept to a minimum, and the tents sit on decks made of a wood, bamboo and 70% recycled-material composite. Activities available when staying at the camp include scenic nature drives, nature walks, a giraffe research experience (on request & at an additional cost) and cultural experiences with local Himba & Herero people.

Mowani Mountain Camp, Damaraland - Superior View Room - All meals, two shared activities (desert elephant tracking and visit to Twyfelfontein Heritage site for rock engravings and paintings), and most local brand beverages.

In the heat, dust and stunning landscapes of Damaraland, there is a sanctuary – Mowani Mountain Camp. Dwarfed by massive ochre boulders, the camp is absorbed into the landscape, making it one with our shared history of life in this prehistoric land. Every soft curve or ragged edge frames the landscape in a different way, as if you are seeing for the first time, every time. Game drives along ancient dry riverbeds reveal life that in its sparseness reminds us just how special it is. Rare, desert dwelling elephants, springbok, gemsbok and jackal roam these plains, while their images are found etched in the rocks at Twyfelfontein, Namibia’s first World Heritage Site. Relax in a sparkling pool, enjoy a sundowner, and pause, breathe in and know that this is luxury as nature intended it.

Onguma The Fort, Onguma Nature Reserve - Bush Suite - All Meals, two scheduled shared activities per night (PM Sundowner Drive on Onguma Reserve & AM Etosha Game Drive) & most local drinks

The Bush & Honeymoon Suites are equipped with fire places for the winter months and air coolers for the summer months. Each Bush & Honeymoon Suite has an indoor and outdoor shower and views that will enchant. With dramatic Moroccan details, there is something new to discover around every corner.
