Highlights

• This is a "small group" safari on which an aircraft with pilot/guide accompanies you for the full duration of the trip - all of Namibia's top destinations are visited 
• Sossusvlei is renowned for its bewitching dune and desert scenery - it's also an ideal place to gain an appreciation for the dune life of the Namib desert 
• A scenic flight up the Skeleton Coast includes the shipwreck sites of the Eduard Bolen and Shaunee
• Visits to Walvis Bay and Swakopmund are included in this safari
• Damaraland is one of Namibia's least accessible regions and contains the country's best known prehistoric rock paintings and engravings
