From wild camping in the Huab River in Damaraland, to delightful tented camps amid the thorn trees and palms in the Hoarusib Valley in Kaokoland, this is not a safari if you're looking for plunge pools and Wifi. Instead, you'll open your tent flaps to oryx and kudu grazing just outside, munch on campfire-cooked dinners under the stars, and immerse yourself into the natural world that stretches in every direction.
On your epic flying journey, you'll sleep in fully-equipped desert camps that seem to appear out of nowhere in the dramatic environments. Each of the unique camps varies in style, but all are comfortable. The dome tents come with proper beds (usually) and solar lights or lanterns, and there are hot bucket showers to wash away the dust at the end of the day. Flush loos are normally in a separate building.
For a majority of this safari, you will be flying along the Skeleton Coast, marveling at ancient landscapes and mind-boggling scenery. But once landed, there are a number of experiences and activities to enjoy too. Game drive around the desert and visit the 'roaring dunes' of the Namib; meet the nomadic, ochre-coloured Himba people and examine the ancient Bushman rock art; marvell at the colorful red lava and yellow sandstone of the Huab environs; and snap your camera at the panoramic vistas of the Hartmann Valley. Wow.
