The rest of the day is at leisure to relax or join one of the lodge’s shared activities, such as nature walks, safari drives, or biking excursions.

Habitas Namibia focuses on adventure, culture, wellness, and connection. Its design integrates with the savanna while prioritizing sustainability. Guests can participate in cultural workshops like cooking, bushman bow crafting, and medicinal plant demonstrations. Wellness options include a spa, bush meditations, sound healings, and yoga. Bespoke events like growth retreats and art classes are occasionally available.

Relax and settle in as you begin your Namibian adventure.

Day 2: Onward to Sossusvlei

After breakfast, check out from Habitas Namibia. Your driver transfers you to Windhoek Eros Airport for your scheduled shared flight to Sossusvlei. Upon arrival at Hammerstein Airstrip, a camp representative transfers you to Camp Sossus.

Camp Sossus is located in the Namib Tsaris Conservancy, 30 minutes from Sossusvlei and the Namib Sand Sea. The camp’s eco-friendly design uses natural stone walls, recycled materials, and solar power, blending into the desert surroundings. The luxury tents include en-suite bathrooms, shaded daybeds, and open star beds. Camp Sossus offers visits to Sossusvlei, nature drives, walking trails, and mountain biking. Optional hot air ballooning is available at extra cost.

The rest of the afternoon is free to relax or join a lodge-arranged activity.

Day 3: Namib Naukluft National Park

Start your day early with a guided excursion to Namib Naukluft National Park. Depart the lodge at sunrise to explore the sand dunes. Your guide will explain the formation of the Namib Desert and how plants and animals have adapted to survive. Afterward, enjoy a picnic breakfast under a camel thorn tree.

On the way back to Camp Sossus, you can stop by Sesriem Canyon if it wasn’t visited the previous day. The rest of the afternoon is free to relax or explore the Namib Tsaris Conservancy by mountain bike.

Day 4: Fly from Sossusvlei to Swakopmund

After breakfast at Camp Sossus, you are transferred to Geluk Airstrip for your scheduled flight to Swakopmund.

Upon arrival at Swakopmund Airport, a representative meets you and takes you to Strand Hotel Swakopmund, a popular hotel located on the Mole, offering a range of dining options, bars, and sea-facing terraces. The hotel is well-situated for exploring the town and surrounding areas.

While at Strand Hotel, you can take part in activities such as ballooning, skydiving, sandboarding, quad biking, or visiting the Cape Cross Seal Colony, Messum Crater, and Living Desert. Scenic flights over the Namib Desert and Atlantic Ocean, as well as tours to Sandwich Harbor, Spitzkoppe Mountain, and the Moon Landscape, are also available.

Today, join a Fat Bike Scenic Desert Tour, cycling through the oldest desert in the world. The tour is around 12–14 km (7.5 - 8.6 miles), starting from Swakopmund town center, going along the dry Swakop Riverbed, and up and down dunes of different sizes. Enjoy views of the desert, sea, and Swakopmund.

The tour is for those with above-average fitness and cycling experience. If you're less experienced or want something a bit more relaxed, you can choose an alternative city bike tour.  Afterward, return to Strand Hotel Swakopmund to relax.

Day 6: Fly from Swakopmund to Damaraland

Check out from Strand Hotel Swakopmund and transfer to Swakopmund Airport for your scheduled flight into Damaraland. The area’s unique landscape features mountains, hills, and strange vegetation formed by wind, water, and geological forces.

After arriving at Doro Nawas airstrip, you are transferred to Onduli Ridge. Set among granite outcrops, the camp offers views of the Brandberg mountain and surrounding landscape. After settling in, you can join a shared activity such as a nature drive or walk.

Onduli Ridge is located in Damaraland, offering views of the rugged terrain. The six suites are designed for comfort and privacy, with open-air bathrooms and views. Activities include elephant tracking, rock art viewing, stargazing, and solar e-biking. Extended stays also offer the chance to search for black rhinos with Save the Rhino Trust.

Day 7: Damaraland Exploration

Start your day with an early breakfast before a guided 4x4 excursion along the river valleys. This activity focuses on exploring the landscapes and searching for desert-adapted wildlife, including elephants. The morning offers the best chance to spot these animals as they are most active at this time. You can return to the camp for lunch or enjoy a picnic under the shade of an Ana tree by the riverbed while observing wildlife.

In the afternoon, visit nearby attractions like Twyfelfontein, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with over 2,500 prehistoric engravings of animals and symbols. If time permits, take a guided walk or relax at the camp.

Day 8: Fly from Damaraland to Etosha

After breakfast, you are transferred to Doro Nawas airstrip for your scheduled flight to the outskirts of Etosha National Park. Upon arrival at Ongava airstrip, you continue to Mokuti airstrip and then are transferred to Onguma Tented Camp. Onguma Tented Camp offers a mix of comfort and a relaxed safari atmosphere. The camp includes a main building with a reception area, dining area, lounges, swimming pool, deck, and an open fire pit. There are seven tents providing private accommodation. The camp is situated near a watering hole, where guests can observe local wildlife.

The afternoon is free for relaxation or to join a shared activity offered by the camp.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
