Other optional activities include nature drives, horse riding and a morning walk with the Bushman where you have a chance to learn about their traditional lifestyle
Today drive across to Wolwedans set amongst the stunning landscapes of the NamibRand Nature Reserve, in the heart of the desert. This is a wonderful location and sure to be a highlight of your trip offering seclusion, peace and privacy. You’ll be based here on a full board with included activities, which are based around this private reserve to include nature walks and drives exploring mountain, desert plains, yellow grassy savannahs and ochre sand dunes. A favourite destination of ours and a dark sky destination -
Onward to the Sossusvlei region – after leaving Wolwedans early, make your way ot the beautiful dunes of Sossusvlei, venturing into the dune fields where the early morning light trickles over the bright orange dunes. Continue to Dead Vlei, where the ancient and skeletal camel thorn trees stand on the white pan with the backdrop of apricot sand dunes and blue sky as well as a chance to explore nearby Sossusvlei. Climb a dune and marvel as the dunes stretch as far as the eyes can see into the endless desert. From here make your way to Desert Whisper, an exclusive camp set in the Namib Desert with incredible views over the desert plains. A private guide will take you on excursions around the reserve

Once here relax by the waterhole or the pool later in the afternoon. Erindi is one of the largest private game reserves in Africa and home to huge numbers of animals. Species include elephant, lion, leopard, hyena, giraffe and plains game, hippos and crocs. There are also endangered species including cheetah, pangolin and wild dog.
