Know before you go

The Skeleton Coast National Park in Namibia is a unique and otherworldly coastal wilderness known for its desolate beauty and haunting landscapes. The park stretches along Namibia's northwestern coastline, where the harsh, arid Namib Desert meets the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The Skeleton Coast earned its name from the numerous shipwrecks that dot its shores. The combination of dense fog, strong currents, and treacherous winds made navigation perilous for sailors.
Sossusvlei, located in the southern part of the Namib Desert in Namibia, is known for its stunning and unique landscapes. Sossusvlei is renowned for its towering red dunes, some of which are among the highest in the world. The most famous is Dune 45, a popular spot for sunrise photography. Sossusvlei is part of the Namib-Naukluft National Park, one of the largest conservation areas in Africa.
Etosha National Park, situated in northwestern Namibia, is renowned for its vast salt pan and diverse wildlife. The park is dominated by the Etosha Pan, a massive salt pan that can be seen from space. During the dry season, the pan becomes a striking white landscape. Etosha is home to a wide array of wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, rhinos, zebras, wildebeests, and numerous bird species. The waterholes are focal points for animal sightings. In the dry season, waterholes around the pan attract large concentrations of wildlife, providing excellent opportunities for game viewing.
Accommodation in a lodge at the national parks can change depending on availability and your request at the time of booking.
