9-day Ultimate Namibia Safari
Ultimate Namibia is our ‘best of Namibia’ guaranteed departure safari, with a minimum of one and a maximum of seven participants, and it offers fantastic value for money. During our peak season we have weekly departures every Tuesday and some Saturdays. The safari excludes pre and post accommodation in Windhoek, as well as airport transfers, but almost everything else is included – other than drinks, laundry, gratuities, and other items of a personal nature. It includes stays at Sossusvlei (staying inside the park), the coast (with an option to sea kayak or go on a motorized seal and dolphin cruise), Damaraland (to visit Twyfelfontein and go to look for desert adapted elephant), Etosha (two nights at Ongava Tented Camp or one of their sister lodges on the southern border of the park) and a day visit to the AfriCat Foundation on the way back to Windhoek (with an optional overnight extension there).
