Transfer by road, taking in spectacular scenery to Swakopmund, a picturesque town with an eclectic mix of European and African culture. Nights are spent at the Hansa Hotel, which forms part of the city's architectural heritage. We explore the ice-blue Atlantic coast with kayaks from Walvis Bay (weather permitting).

Guests continue the journey by road up to the legendary Skeleton Coast ( named for the numerous shipwrecks the treacherous shores have claimed) and through the wildlife-rich Ugab riverbed, past the iconic Brandberg Mountain in time for lunch at the Damaraland Camp. This land of stark beauty boasts a varied assortment of desert-adapted wildlife and incredible geological features.

Wildlife

Admiring the desert-adapted wildlife in Namibia, Southern Africa, is a great highlight in this harsh and arid climate in the sparsely vegetated landscapes. Elephants thrive in Damaraland where they can be seen alongside lions, giraffes and brown hyaena in Hoanib and the Etosha National Park.

Gemsbok as well as springbok, steenbok, scrub hare, and the ground squirrel can be encountered in the Palmwag Concession. The freshwater springs in the Palmwag Concession are homes to the largest free-roaming black rhino population in Africa while also having a healthy population of Hartmann's mountain zebra, kudu and predators.

In complete contrast to the inland's rugged mountains and valleys, travellers can explore the natural home of the seals on the Skeleton Coast in their thousands along with black-backed jackals.
