Desert safaris, lodges and wildlife tours

Deserts are a photographers haven of contrasting shapes and colour. The Kalahari Desert and Sossusvlei dunes evoke images of endless glowing sands, deep blue skies and hardy plants and wildife, wonderfully adapted to living in these dry conditions.

Namib Desert

Namib Naukluft (Sossusvlei & NamibRand) and the Skeleton Coast form part of the Namib Desert on the West Coast of Namibia - stretching from the Oranje River bordering South Africa to the Kunene River on the border with Angola.

Kalahari

The Kalahari (including the Central Kalahari Game Reserve) is a place of golden plains, searing heat and exceptional wildlife diversity. After the rains, a mass migration of antelope takes place here.

Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park

Mile upon mile of rolling rust-red sand dunes, solitary trees and scattered grasses. For lovers of the ambience of untamed Africa, this hauntingly beautiful region has a special appeal all of its own.

Sossusvlei

Sossusvlei is situated in the Namib Naukluft Park and is made up of a vast, dried up clay pan, over which towers a vast sea of magnificent sand dunes, which are reputed to be the highest in the world.

Namib Naukluft Park

The Namib Naukluft Park (including Sossusvlei, Sesriem and the NamibRand) covers an area of 49 768 square kilometres. It is the largest and most unusual nature conservation area in Namibia, and rated the fourth largest in the world.

NamibRand Nature Reserve

Extending over 180.000 hectares, NamibRand is the largest private nature reserve in Southern Africa. Located some 60 km's south of Sossusvlei, NamibRand is synonymous with some of Africa's most breathtaking locations.
