You will arrive at Windhoek's Hosea Kutako International Airport and transfer to the domestic Eros Airport for a local flight to Sossusvlei. You will be travelling on small aircraft throughout Namibia so luggage restrictions will be in place - please ask your travel consultant for advice.
This is your first taste of the magic landscape that makes up this remarkable country. The one hour flight, landing in the oldest desert in the world, is a reminder that there are still vast places on our earth where it seems nothing lives.
Little Kulala is located in the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve, the only reserve with direct access into Sossusvlei. An acclaimed retreat, with its villas merging seamlessly into the desert, so that you feel the solitude and stark beauty of this amazing desert. The lodge has an organic feel expressed in the colors, interiors, textures and fittings, making it one with the surrounding desert.
Unique activities keep you occupied here if you can tear yourself away from the splendor of your villa. Dawn or sunset excursions to Sossosvlei and the famous Dunes, nature drives and walks taking in desert-adapted plants and animals, and for a once in a life time experience - a hot air balloon safari (extra cost) over the towering dunes will provide photo opportunities of a life time.
Today you have a 2 hour transfer flight over some of the most stark and hostile landscape on the planet. This is a highlight of your trip which may sound odd, considering it is one of your transfers! But very few words can describe the scenery below you!
Transfer from the airstrip to Mowani Mountain Camp, a little gem hidden away between ancient giant boulders. Spend 2 nights in one of the unique tents or in the luxury suite, all with views to make you feel you are in another world!
Damaraland is about scenery, history, desert adapted elephants, bird life, San Rock Art and amazing geological formations. You can return here time and time again and there will always be something remarkable to see.
Another spectacular flight over Damaraland gets you to the Ongava Airstrip in the Ongava Reserve. This is a 30,000 hectare private reserve which borders the southern boundary of Etosha National Park. It is a prolific wildlife reserve in its own right. Due to the reserve's location you have easy access into Etosha, Namibia's premier wildlife destination.
Little Ongava is an intimate camp with only 3 spacious suites. It is perched on the top of a hill so has amazing views across the endless landscape. Here the focus is attention to detail. Nothing is missed with impeccable service making for an extraordinary experience. You have 3 nights to take full advantage of this.
Guests staying here have a dedicated guide and land rover. Activities include Rhino tracking, walking, visiting hides overlooking waterholes, drives and day trips into Etosha and stylish dining overlooking the lit waterhole below. With the vast open dry plains of Etosha you are able to spot the wildlife quite easily which makes for thrilling viewing.
