This remarkable program follows in the footsteps of Charles John Anderson, a Swedish explorer who embarked on an epic journey into the heart of Namibia in 1850. Experience the life-changing grandeur and beauty of the country in the height of comfort, staying in luxurious safari tents and the country's finest lodges. Start with a night in a luxury lodge in the transition zone between the Central Highlands and the Kalahari Desert. This is your point of departure for exploring the nearby Waterburg Plateau, rising above the surrounding bush and savannah. The plateau is home to rare plants, animals, and birds which will be pointed out to you by your guide, who will also bring to life the historical significance of the area in modern Namibian history. Next, travel north to your exclusive campsite in a private game reserve near Etosha National Park. Explore the park, where you may see black rhino. Spend two nights here before traveling to the western side of the park. Spend a night at Okakuejo, whose floodlit waterhole allows excellent viewing of elephant, giraffe, black rhino and lion. Travel to southern Damaraland for two nights at a private campsite. Spend two days exploring what is arguably Namibia's most stunning region. Ancient San rock carvings are found in the hills. Flat-topped mountains, ochre grasses, and strange stunted mopane trees create a unique habitat for desert elephants, leopard, and black rhino which maintain a furtive existence in this challenging landscape. Many travelers consider this to be their favorite corner of Namibia. After two nights here, drive to the popular coastal town of Swakopmund for two nights. Explore Cape Cross' colony of 80,000 fur seals, and take a cruise around Walvis Bay, one of the region's most important centers for bird life and dolphins. Next, fly to the Namib Naukluft Park, whose landscape encompasses mountains, desert plains, and high sand dunes. This afternoon, drive to the famous Sossusvlei dunes, whose color changes in the shifting light. Your exclusive campsite is in a sanctuary for zebra, springbok, and more. Spend two nights here, exploring the gorges and valleys of this stunning region before returning to Windhoek for your departure flight.
