Days 1, 2 and 3 – Wolwedans & Sossusvlei
You will be met on arrival in Windhoek and assisted with your luggage and boarding your helicopter for the start of your Namibian helicopter safari. From Windhoek you fly south to Sossusvlei for 3-nights at Wolwedans on the NamibRand Private Reserve.
This morning you leave Wolwedans and fly to Sossusvlei for the day exploring the dunes by helicopter. You will also have the chance to drive through to Deadvlei to see the vlei from the ground. After exploring Sossusvlei you fly back to Wolwedans. Depending on your time of arrival you have the chance to enjoy an afternoon activity at Wolwedans.
This morning after another early start you will have the chance to enjoy one of the highlights of your Namibian safari, a hot air balloon over the NamibRand Nature Reserve. Float silently over the reserve and admire the vast expanse of desert and mountains below you. Once you have safely touched down, you will be treated to a champagne breakfast in the middle of the reserve.
Other activities from the lodge include game drives, bushmen walks and horse riding. Game drives are either done in the mornings or afternoons and explore the fauna and flora of the NamibRand Nature Reserve. Bushmen walks take place on the reserve and allow guests the opportunity to learn more about the smaller aspects of the desert. Bushmen have been traversing these deserts for many years and being able to learn from them is an experience you will remember for a long time. The next best thing to being on foot in the desert is being on horseback and exploring the dunes and valleys of the reserve.
