Overview

This is Namibia at its most luxurious and most remote. Light aircraft link three camps: Onguma The Fort at Etosha, Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp in the far north-west, and &Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge among the dunes.

Two nights in each means unhurried game drives, desert-adapted elephants and lions in the Hoanib valley, and the dunes at sunrise, without a long road day.

Highlights

  • Black rhinos and waterholes at Etosha
  • Desert-adapted elephants and lions in the Hoanib valley
  • Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp, in the far north-west
  • The red dunes of Sossusvlei
  • Light aircraft between every camp
