This morning you set off in your rental vehicle heading southwest through the scenic Khomas Hochland Highlands to reach Hoodia Desert Lodge. If there is still time today, you may choose to visit Sesriem Canyon in your hired vehicle if preferred, a nearby geological attraction or you can just relax and soak in the scenic and tranquil surroundings at Hoodia Desert Lodge. The next morning you will need to rise early for a captivating guided Sossusvlei excursion as arranged with Hoodia Desert Lodge. You would enter the park at sunrise and capture the dunes whilst the light is soft and shadows accentuate the towering shapes and curves. Once you have explored Sossusvlei, Deadvlei and surrounding dune fields to your heart’s content you can enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch the shade of a camel thorn tree. You then return to Hoodia Desert Lodge in the mid-afternoon, with the rest of the afternoon at your leisure.

Starting your privately guided safari today, the road takes you north and east into the wonderful and diverse region of Damaraland. If time allows this afternoon your guide will take you to visit the nearby attractions and geological sites of the pre-historic Twyfelfontein rock engravings (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) - if not there is plenty of time to see them tomorrow. An exciting 4x4 excursion along the ephemeral Aba Huab and Huab River valleys to explore this remarkable region and to search for game, including the elusive desert adapted elephants if they are in the area. Damaraland is home to a variety of desert adapted wildlife and hidden desert treasures.

Today after a very early breakfast you set off on your journey to the Etosha Mountain Lodge, which is situated on the south western border of the Etosha National Park. A picnic lunch at a scenic spring will be enjoyed en-route and arrival will be in the very late afternoon or early evening (after a long but rewarding day). After your arrival you will have some time at leisure, which can be spent appreciating the unique surroundings and enjoying the game viewing at the camp’s floodlit waterhole and enjoy a different vantage point from the camps underground and elevated hides. Should you wish to join a scheduled game drive on the private game reserve and if you didn’t arrive too late at camp, then this is possible to arrange on site at additional costs.
