Overview - The Great Namibian Journey
This 13-day fully accommodated safari provides amazing insights into the stunning landscapes and atmosphere of Namibia, a remarkable land of barren deserts, rugged mountains and spectacular wildlife.

Group size is limited to eight guests and all meals are included. Accommodation includes most nights in comfortable tented camps as well as hotels.

Exclusive experience: Many areas in which we travel are private concessions, and many camps are private and for the use of Premier Safari guests only. These areas are not open to the public, hence our safaris can guarantee total privacy.

Routes: To maximise guests’ travel time, a variety of travel modes that bring out the best of each area is used: flying in private charters, overland transfers and exclusive combination mokoro-boat-land transfers provide both a birds-eye view and an in-depth experience of the contrasting landscapes of Namibia.

Itinerary
Days 1 & 2: Kulala Tented Camp, Sossusvlei
From Windhoek, travel to Kulala Tented Camp, enjoying awesome views of the mountains and the desert floor – on a clear day you can see the fog banks of the Skeleton Coast. On Day 2 experience the early morning light on the sea of vivid orange dunes of Sossusvlei, some as high as 300 metres. Afternoon activities include nature walks, drives to scenic viewpoints and the unique Namib fauna and flora in the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve.

Days 3 & 4: Aonin Dune Camp, Kuiseb, Namib Desert
Travel north-west via the Kuiseb Canyon with its dark, craggy canyons and via lunar landscape of flat gravel plains (with stops along the way for photos and to visit the extraordinary Welwitschia plants), ending at the exclusive Aonin Dune Camp, a palm tree-filled oasis in the depths of the desert. Activities include nature walks and drives and spectacular sundowners. On Day 4 view the formidable Namib dune fields and Sandwich Harbour with its enormous flocks of shocking-pink flamingos.

Day 5: Hansa Hotel, Swakopmund
Explore the ice-blue Atlantic coast, from the port towns of Walvis Bay and Swakopmund to its incredible marine mammals. Kayak or sail through the calm waters of Walvis Bay to see Cape fur seals and rare Heaviside’s dolphins up close. Activities, such as dune sand boarding and antique shopping, are rounded off with a private seafood lunch, and relax at the exclusive guesthouse.

Days 6 & 7: Damaraland Camp, Damaraland
Travel up the infamous Skeleton Coast (named for the numerous shipwrecks the treacherous shores have claimed over the years) via the Cape Cross seal colony with thousands of breeding Cape fur seals, massive Messum Crater and Brandberg – the second largest monolith on earth. Damaraland embodies stark desert beauty and a sense of isolation. Activities include explorations on foot, by bike or 4x4 vehicle, viewing springbok, oryx and ostrich, and tracking the unique desert-adapted elephant.

Days 8 & 9: Ongava Tented Camp, Etosha National Park
Experience the pinnacle of wildlife viewing at Etosha National Park – but from the privacy of an exclusive bush camp situated on an extensive private game reserve. Activities include wildlife day and night drives, walks and hides. Within Etosha visit numerous perennial springs and pans, encountering lion, leopard, elephant and black rhino as well as plains game.

Days 10, 11 & 12: Skeleton Coast Camp, Skeleton Coast National Park
Scenic flight over dramatic desert landscapes to the exclusive Skeleton Coast camp situated in a private concession in the Skeleton Coast Park. This is one of the most inhospitable but hauntingly beautiful places on the planet: desolate and uninhabited. It has everything from roaring sand dunes, windswept plains, towering canyons, salt pans to seal colonies, and shipwrecks. Full-day explorations in 4x4 Land Rovers will take all these in, picnicking on the way. Included are cultural visits to the remote villages of the Himba people. On Day 12, say farewell to the adventure as we return by air charter to Windhoek.
