Days 1 & 2: Ongava Homestead, Etosha Region
Drive by a nice charter flight to Namibia’s big game country: Etosha and its sorroundings. Here, the great numberS and different flora and fauna is brought to life in a number of activities, from game walks to game drives and tours to hides on the property and into the prominent Etosha National Park. Within Etosha we’ll also tour a number of perennial springs and pans, encountering Lion, Leopard, Elephant and black Rhino as well as plains game.
We stay the night at Ongava Homestead, a renovated old farmhouse, with en-suite bathrooms, and a farm kitchen overlooking its own waterhole, floodlit at night to watch nocturnal visitors, from the timid genet to big game such as Elephant, Lion, Leopard and a host of antelope come to drink. Simple safari furnishings create a wonderful atmosphere in which to make friends and enjoy good company throughout the Namibia tour package.
Day 3: Palmwag Lodge, Palmwag
After an early breakfast, the tour travels to the Palmwag concession.
The camp consists of 5 Meru-style tents, built on individual, wooden platforms and offering a great scenic view of the surroundings and also the desert-adapted elephants when they visit the area. Situated about 600 metres away from the restaurant and secluded from the rest of Palmwag Lodge. The tents are tastefully furnished, with en-suite facilities, solar power and a wonderful atmosphere.
The guides will expose the sheer magnificence of nature’s survival strategies in this arid environment, through walks, tracking and game drives concentrating on a variety of topics from birds to insects, medicinal uses of plants and viewing wildlife. In addition, you travel through regions with an exciting array of exposed geological sequences, ranging in age from ‘young’ 130 million-year-old igneous shale through to 850 million-year-old schist formations.
