If planning your honeymoon has you dusting off your travel wishlist and daydreaming about voyaging through epic dunes<\/a>, soaring over surreal landscapes (and spotting their startling inhabitants) and magical moments in the wildest of places, Namibia<\/a> may be calling your name. Taking the crown as one of Africa\u2019s most dramatic countries, Namibia has it all – rare wildlife, inspiring conservation, photo-worthy landscapes from the crashing coast<\/a> to fossilised desert forests<\/a>, and lodges that are just as breathtaking. Take a peek at all the possibilities with our guide to Namibia<\/a> and read on to find our tips for creating the most fabulous Namibia honeymoon.<\/p>\n

\"Namibia<\/a>

Wildlife on the salt pan in Etosha<\/p><\/div>\n

A see-it-all self driving journey<\/h2>\n

After touching down in Windhoek<\/a>, set off to explore Namibia<\/a> on your own terms on this self-driving trip<\/a> planned to hit all the highlights. Your journey begins in Sossusvlei<\/a>, a dreamy land of towering, rust-coloured dunes, just made for sunrise hikes, the astonishing and very photogenic petrified forest, and hot air balloon flights. Find your way down to sunny Swakopmund<\/a> for a taste of German patisseries and action-packed days, featuring anything from skydiving to sandboarding – or just sunbathing! The mountainous Damaraland<\/a> is your next stop, where you could track desert-adapted black rhino and elephant on horseback and marvel at the ancient rock art hidden in the foothills. For a taste of Namibia\u2019s impressive collection of wildlife, Etosha<\/a> and its shimmering waterholes provide a classic safari experience – simply park, sit back, and watch as a parade of creatures arrives. And as for those conservation efforts we mentioned, your honeymoon ends in Otjiwarongo<\/a>, for the chance to see cheetah and leopard conservation in action, and get closer to the big cats than you thought possible.<\/p>\n

\"Namibia<\/a>

Strand Hotel, Swakopmund<\/p><\/div>\n

Top spots to stay<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lovely but pocket-friendly Olive Grove<\/a> makes a comfortable starting point in Windhoek. As for Sossusvlei, the private chalets (with a rooftop star bed) and exclusive entrance to the Namib-Naukluft makes Kulala Desert Lodge<\/a> a firm favourite. In Swakopmund, the Strand<\/a> offers gorgeous suites and a plethora of dining choices from its location right on the shore. Damaraland is chock-full of amazing lodges, but it\u2019s the intimate, eco-friendly Camp Kipwe<\/a> that we love – enjoy sunset drinks on the boulders and showers under the stars. In Etosha, take advantage of the private waterhole views and simple style of Onguma Bush Camp<\/a> and in Otjiwarongo, Okonjima Plains Camp<\/a> offers mountain views from your private terrace and easy access to the AfriCat Foundation.<\/p>\n

Horse riding amongst the Damaraland dunes<\/p><\/div>\n

Safaris, dunes & shipwrecks<\/h2>\n

True to its moniker, \u2018the land of many faces\u2019, Namibia<\/a> is a medley of sizzling deserts, pockets of wildlife to marvel at, and a coastline as rugged as it is beautiful. So why should you have to choose? On this trip<\/a>, you\u2019ll travel the length and breadth of Namibia, beginning in the safari capital, Etosha<\/a>. Pick a waterhole (or the salt-pan-turned-lagoon in season) and watch as animals big and bigger arrive to drink. Then, track desert-adapted elephant and black rhino in the peaks and sun-baked landscapes of Damaraland<\/a>, before departing for the dreamlike Skeleton Coast<\/a> to see the ghostly shipwrecks and beaches, and wildlife that appears to live on luck alone. If you haven\u2019t had enough adventure, enjoy the many action-packed outings in Swakopmund<\/a> – skydiving, paragliding, quad biking and sandboarding. Your honeymoon reaches a grand finale in NamibRand<\/a>, where you\u2019ll hike to the crests of dunes as tall as skyscrapers, go wildlife-spotting with no one else around (glorious!), and experience stillness quieter than a whisper.<\/p>\n

\"Namibia<\/a>

Shipwreck Lodge, Skeleton Coast<\/p><\/div>\n

Top spots to stay<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Etosha, it\u2019s an easy choice – Little Ongava<\/a> is set on a private reserve and offers personal guides, an intimate three suites and state-of-the-art photographic hide. With its stunning interiors and king bed under the stars, the simply gorgeous Onduli Ridge<\/a> is a firm favourite in Damaraland, whilst the show-stopping Shipwreck Lodge<\/a> is a dream for honeymooners on the Skeleton Coast. Built on Swakopmund’s historic Mole (literally steps from the sea), the Strand Hotel<\/a> is a village on its own with plenty of activities both in and out of house. In NamibRand, the Wolwedans Dunes Lodge<\/a> has exceptional views (the cabins have roll-up sides) and for that added pizzazz, we\u2019d go for the Mountain View Suite<\/a>, which has a private vehicle, chef and plunge pool.<\/p>\n

Hot air ballooning in Sossusvlei<\/p><\/div>\n

Namibia from the air: North to South<\/h2>\n

Utter the words, \u2018Namibian honeymoon\u2019 and you\u2019re bound to be met with a chorus urging you to see its fantastical landscapes and logic-defying wildlife from the air. This trip<\/a> does it all in style. Before taking flight, your adventure begins in Sossusvlei<\/a>, the land of great apricot dunes. Explore by horseback, quad bike or hot air balloon (get a taste of those lofty views), and bask in the stark beauty and romance of the world\u2019s oldest desert. Swap your khakis for swimwear as you fly down to the coast of Swakopmund<\/a> for a few days of seaside R&R, fine dining and frolicking in the water – or keep the heart-pumping activities going. Take in suitably epic vistas as you soar over the breathtaking peaks and valleys of Damaraland<\/a>, before touching down to track black rhino and desert-adapted elephant. Your flying safari makes a final stop in the green lung of Namibia<\/a>, Etosha<\/a>. Spy the wildlife that arrive like clockwork to drink at the limited waterholes. Flying off into the sunset with your beloved? Sounds good to us.<\/p>\n

\"Namibia<\/a>

Little Kulala Lodge, Sossusvlei<\/p><\/div>\n

Top spots to stay<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make the most of your desert stay at Little Kulala Lodge<\/a>, a glamorous spot with private access to Namib-Naukluft and Sossusvlei – and a private pool to cool off in. Enjoy real privacy at Pelican Point<\/a>, a secluded and unique hotel in Swakopmund’s peninsula (our favourite suite is the Captain\u2019s Cave, which has a raised bathtub overlooking the Atlantic). Damaraland Camp<\/a> is a top choice with impeccable service and gorgeous views from bed. Last up, Ongava Lodge<\/a> offers funky, African-inspired rooms and a hide for those memorable encounters with the wildlife – seeing a lion drinking only a few feet away is something to behold.<\/p>\n

Elephant on the Skeleton Coast<\/p><\/div>\n

The hidden gems of Namibia<\/h2>\n

We know, we know, all of Namibia<\/a> appears to be a hidden gem, but this trip<\/a> really takes you off the more explored trails and into Namibia\u2019s (almost) untouched north. Start off with a dose of traditional safari in the wildly beautiful Etosha, where you\u2019ll pick a waterhole and watch as scenes from a National Geographic doc unfold in front of you. Head for the plains of Damaraland<\/a>, where herds of desert-adapted elephant and solitary rhino navigate mountainous terrain and the ancient rock art paints a picture dating back millions of years. Next up is the Skeleton Coast<\/a>. Awash with bleached whale bones, historic shipwrecks and barely-believable wildlife, it\u2019s seclusion personified and guarantees some incredible snaps for the scrapbook. Your final destination is in the furthest reaches of Namibia – the dry, dusty and seemingly uninhabitable Kaokoland<\/a>. Here, you\u2019ll be amazed by the desert wildlife, meet the Himba people, and store up some pretty remarkable memories.<\/p>\n

\"Namibia<\/a>

Onduli Ridge, Damaraland<\/p><\/div>\n

Top spots to stay<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Etosha, enjoy private wildlife-watching from the hide at Ongava Lodge<\/a> and recline in the well-stocked library in between real-deal safari moments. In Damaraland, Onduli Ridge<\/a> swiftly captures your heart with a secluded pool amongst the boulders and open-air (should you choose it) bedrooms. With a showstopping design and chalets perched along a ridge of dunes, the Skeleton Coast Shipwreck Lodge<\/a> is not to be missed. In far-flung Kaokoland, we\u2019d classify Serra Cafema Camp<\/a> as one of the most remote in Namibia – and it comes with lovely river views, sunset cruises and unmatched privacy.<\/p>\n

Flying safari over the Skeleton Coast<\/p><\/div>\n

Soar over the highlights of Namibia<\/h2>\n

In the home of the flying safari, it would be remiss of us to skip this\u00a0journey by air<\/a> above the most epic of Namibia\u2019s<\/a> landscapes. After trekking the mammoth dunes, snapping all the photos you can and sleeping under pristine, star-spangled skies in Sossusvlei<\/a>, take off for perhaps the most scenic flight of your life. Soar above the tumbling waves as they meet the deserted and unblemished Skeleton Coast<\/a>, all while hearing of the legends of shipwrecks scattered along the beach and spotting solitary wildlife amongst the dunes. Touch down at the very edges of Namibia\u2019s map and explore to your heart\u2019s content by foot or 4×4. Your last flight takes you northwards to Etosha<\/a>, where the wildlife travels in droves to shimmering waterholes and you\u2019ll see some of the biggest names of the animal kingdom.<\/p>\n

\"Namibia<\/a>

&Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge<\/p><\/div>\n

Top spots to stay<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take your Sossusvlei safari with a side of luxury at &Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge<\/a>, which offers picnics under the stars, gorgeous suites and a private runway for you to land on. On the coast, the Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp<\/a> is the picture of desert style with airy Bedouin tents and a chic design. In Etosha, Andersson’s at Ongava<\/a> is an easy choice with its alfresco showers and swanky sunken lounge from which you can watch the passing wildlife.<\/p>\n
