A country like no other on the continent, the blood-red deserts, vast horizons and incredible wildlife of Namibia<\/a> make for a fantastic trip – and Kristin’s was no different!<\/p>\n

Kristin’s journey took her on a driving circuit of northern Namibia through boulder-stuffed landscapes and towering dunes, up mystical coastlines and into private reserves jam-packed with desert rhino and elephants.<\/p>\n

Read on to find out what she got up to and how to plan your very own trip to this startling country\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cOur trip kicked off in the stunning Sossusvlei<\/a> region \u2013 but with a bit of a twist! Camp Sossus<\/a> is located in the private Neuhof Reserve, which promises all the desert highlights of the Namib-Sossusvlei area, but from a quiet and exclusive base.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cFirst up was the iconic, apricot dunes of Sossusvlei<\/a>. Climb the dunes \u2013 Big Daddy is the most popular of them all \u2013 for the best views, or embark on a quad bike or horseback adventure in the surrounding reserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA jaunt in the petrified forest of Deadvlei<\/a> completes any Sossusvlei<\/a> experience and is the perfect stop for a quick snap, or two or three (or four)…\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Skeleton Coast<\/a> was next on the itinerary. The drive up the Atlantic Coast (with or without a stop in Swakopmund<\/a>) is astonishingly beautiful and arriving at the gates of the national park is eerie, mystical and exciting. We even enjoyed the infamous fog on our arrival!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSet right in the middle of the wind-swept dunes, the rooms at Shipwreck Lodge<\/a> are modelled on old ships that washed up on the misty shores. Activities include riverbed drives to spot desert wildlife, visiting weathered shipwrecks, and gazing at the extraordinary scenery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou may have heard that Namibia<\/a> provides gasp-worthy scenery at every turn and, after my time in boulder-strewn Damaraland<\/a>, I know that to be true.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSculpted into the granite boulders, Onduli Ridge<\/a> is a dreamy location from which to discover the delights of Damaraland<\/a>, be it tracking rhino or desert-elephant, admiring the rock art at Twyfelfontein, or e-biking on the scenic trails.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd alongside that scenery is a wonderful, authentic culture. In the Erongo<\/a> region, I spent time with the Herero people, a proud culture who fiercely safeguard their heritage and customs from the outside world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd there\u2019s no way I could leave out the wildlife. I was privileged enough to spy white rhino at Epako Safari Lodge<\/a>, located on a private reserve in Erongo<\/a>, which is also home to leopard, cheetah, zebra and hyena. This is only one gem in Namibia\u2019s wildlife crown, however, and Etosha<\/a> provides another sparkling highlight.\u201d<\/p>\n
