Windhoek Early Check In / Late Check Out

1 Night

Windhoek

Windhoek, Namibia’s small capital yet the largest city, lies in a beautiful valley bordered by the Eros Mountains in the north and the Auas mountains in the south. Its German colonial past has lingered, especially in language and architecture, yet it is fused with a modern style. Whilst some call the city provincial, it also has a cosmopolitan flare. Enjoy traditional German dishes, bread and beer, and even celebrate the German carnival. Explore the center, Independence Avenue, by foot. Visit the Tintenpalast (Ink Palace), which houses Namibia’s parliament, the 19th century Lutheran Christuskirche (Christ Church), the Alte Feste (Old Fort), and the National Museum.

Namib Rand Reserve

Explore a private nature reserve in Namibia! The Namib Rand Reserve in the southern part of the country, was created by former farm owners to protect the unique and diverse ecosystem of this region. Preserving the area was central to the protection of the seasonal migratory routes for wildlife, as well for the conservation of bio-diversity in this area prone to extreme climatic conditions. With 202,000 hectares, the Namib Rand is the largest private game reserve in southern Africa. The reserve shares a 100 kilometre long border with the Namib Nauluft Park in the west while the imposing Nubib Mountains cordon it off in the east.

Included activities

Wolwedans Dunes Camp: Scenic drives, guided nature walks

Enjoy the breathtaking landscape of Namibia on fascinating scenic drives. Soak up interesting facts on the life and ways of the arid-adapted vegetation and creatures, and watch springboks, zebras, as well as predators like hyenas from up close. The drives – day and night – let you take in the splendor of the African wilderness and marvel at the sights and sounds, as you admire the equally gorgeous sunrise or sunset. You can also opt to explore your local surroundings through nature walks, accompanied by well-informed guides who help you discover the most intricate details of the reserve.

Skeleton Coast

Skeleton Coast Park is a spooky desert shore with massive sand dunes and treacherous rocks where mighty storms claimed many ships through the centuries. The landscape includes canyons and mountain range and the climate is seemingly strange for desert conditions: dense fog and cold sea breezes predominate. Animals have been forced to adapt: genet, caracal, baboon, springbok, and brown hyena live in the area all year round, whilst larger animals, such as black rhinos, elephant and lion tend to migrate along the channels. Discover Cape Cross, home to huge seal colony numbering in the tens of thousands and an incredible endemic birdlife including a rare tern, flamingos and pelicans.

Included activities

Shipwreck Lodge: Nature Drives, Walks, Fishing, Excursions to the Clay Castles, the Hoanib River Delta and the Mowe Bay seal colony, and Suiderkus and Karimona shipwrecks

Shipwreck Lodge, a joint venture by the local community of the Namibian Skeleton Coast and Sesfontein, offers a range of unique conservation experiences. Enjoy thrilling game drives into the Skeleton Coast National Park to spot the desert lion, elephant, giraffe, baboon and kudu – framed against the raw beauty of this wild desert. The area is also home to unique plants and insects that survive on the cold fog from the Atlantic. Admire the coastal colonies of the iconic Cape fur seal. Spot birds like the Rüppell’s korhaans, larks, chats, jaegers and skuas that are found among the seal colonies. Take sundowner drives atop towering dunes, and watch the sun set behind the rugged landscape. Visit the Suiderkus and Karimona shipwrecks, and take day trips to the remarkable Clay Castles, Hoanib River Delta and Mowe Bay. Visit settlements of the Himba people and learn about the life and culture of the local community. (Fitness Level: Moderate; Please bring sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, binoculars and don’t forget your camera).

Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp: Nature Drives with Animal Tracking and Guided Walks

Scenic drives across the Namibian wilderness acquaint you with the desert-adapted, exquisite wildlife of the region. You can opt for morning or afternoon drives, or full-day excursions. Exploring the landscape on foot has a charm all of its own, to spot creatures big and small, and to learn fascinating details of the fauna. If you are staying for three nights or more, you can opt for a day excursion to explore the Skeleton Coast. With the Hoanib River winding down the floodplain and a multitude of wild animals and vegetation to spot on both sides, this is a visual delight you’ll cherish. An expert guide can point out the Cape fur seal colony and shipwreck remains along the rocky coastline for an unforgettable experience.

What Our Guests Say

We have travelled to three different countries with the assistance of Enchanting Travels, most recently to Namibia. Each experience has been positive. Namibia was wonderful to visit and our trip was enhanced with the help and coordination of Danielle and Meghan (and undoubtedly so many others who are behind the scene). Our itinerary was individualized and catered to what we value and request. Our trip coordinator, Meghan, is so professional, prompt, and very invested in us having a wonderful experience. The in country guides and excursion companies Enchanting Travels has connected us with have been top notch. The new Trip Agent app which details the trip itinerary is fabulous! We highly recommend Enchanting Travels and are already working with Danielle to plan a trip to Egypt!

We had an incredible experience with Enchanting Travels! We worked with both Alison, our travel consultant, and Cyprian, our trip coordinator. Alison did a fantastic job in catering our itinerary to meet all of our requests, and we had a wonderful trip to Namibia, Victoria Falls, Okavango Delta, and Chobe National Park. Alison and Cyprian were a wealth of knowledge and provided recommendations and insights that helped make our trip magical. We felt reassured knowing we had assistance every step of the way and they made sure our travels between 3 countries were seamless and easy. All of our hotels and lodges far exceeded expectations. They helped us take a trip of a lifetime!

“Safaris in Namibia and Botswana – Enchanting Travels provided sound recommendations on our travel itinerary, accommodations and activities. Our family was not familiar with either Namibia or Botswana but found the safari lodges and other accommodations to be good value, in some stunning locations. A good mix of luxury and bush experience. Activities were all well run, interesting but safe. Safari guides were motivated and competent.”
