To observe Namibia from the air is an awe-inspiring experience: the vast expanses of moving, rippling sands, the great blue skies and grey of the ocean extending to the horizon. This safari explores four distinct regions: the sands and red dunes of Sossusvlei; the icy, life-filled coasts at Swakopmund and Walvis Bay; the stark plains of Damaraland, with their desert-adapted elephants; and the amazing wildlife abundance on the savannah of Etosha.
This circuit-style safari offers daily departures, several camp choices in the northern region (where enormous concessions and private camps mix well with the advantages of nearby National Parks), and can be combined with add-ons to other regions, such as the iconic Skeleton Coast.

Meet the Namib: the oldest desert in the world; Damaraland: where the largest free-roaming population of black rhino resides; Cape Cross: a bewildering cacophony of Cape fur seals; Etosha: a blinding whiteness that is home to a surprising variety of wildlife. This is an all-encompassing safari that explores the spirit of this wide-open land - Namibia's most special wild places, its people and culture. Exposed and diverse landscapes, desert wildlife, scenic, jagged mountains, endless skies, and so-called 'barren' deserts all reveal a multitude and variety of life. On this journey there is also an excellent opportunity to find even the largest of mammals surviving here - the desert-adapted black rhino and elephant.

For more than 20 years, the Save the Rhino Trust (SRT) has worked ceaselessly to protect the last free-ranging rhino population on Earth: the rare desert-adapted black rhino. In the remote, rugged Palmwag Concession, teams of local trackers use camel trains to help in researching and monitoring this animal. On this original and exciting Exploration, guests join these "ships of the desert" on a great adventure: an eight-day walk (little time is spent actually on the camels) across the oldest desert in the world, where a camel train and a team of Save the Rhino trackers take you deep into the heart of the Namib Desert in search of this rare and endangered species. Another wonderful sight is that of the unique desert-adapted elephant - both these iconic animals are tracked in some of the most remote and inaccessible regions of the Concession. The revenues generated from this venture are channelled back into critically important rhino conservation projects.
