This luxury eight day / 7 night fly-in safari includes visits to the famous dunes in the Namib Desert - Sossusvlei, and to Epacha Game Lodge, an exclusive upmarket lodge on the borders of the Etosha Park. The safari also includes two nights on the extremely well stocked Gochganas Private Nature Reserve in central Namibia; and a night in Swakopmund. One of the highlights of the stay at the Namibian coast is a dolphin cruise complete with oysters & champagne The majority of the lodges used on this itinerary offer health and spa treatments, but this should not deter the less health conscious as there are plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities and activities in the desert. The spa treatments can be totally forgotten or just used to pamper yourself after a hard day climbing sand dunes. |
