Windhoek, Namibia

3 days

New discoveries in a curious capital

suggested

Palm-shaded parks and Lutheran churches: even at first glance, Windhoek has a decidedly German flavor to its architecture, befitting the origins of this once-colonial desert station. It is no coincidence the capital rises from the ochre sands in the center of the country; this is Namibia’s political and cultural heart, where galleries showcase the nation’s artistic talent and museums recount the long and winding Namibian story. 

Your A&K Experiences: Unwind at your hotel or explore at leisure.

Sossusvlei, Namibia

2 days

Adventures amid iconic desert dunes

suggested

The great pan of Sossusvlei defines Namibia; its soaring amber dunes, cracked earth and petrified trees have become symbols of the country’s wild, weathered landscapes and the merciless grip of the elements in the Namib Desert. Seen from the air, it is a golden expanse as endless as the starry night skies, but on foot its dunes take on mammoth, otherworldly dimensions, with herds of gemsbok lazing in their shadows.

Your A&K Experiences: Rise early and venture deep into the dunes while the desert light is still soft and forgiving, hearing desert stories and wisdom from your local guide. Later, unwind at camp before a night of stargazing beneath Sossusvlei’s legendary dark skies.

Skeleton Coast National Park, Namibia

3 days

A remote, windswept shoreline haunted by Atlantic ghosts

suggested

It is fitting that early Portuguese sailors named this place “the Gates of Hell”; every bit as haunting as its name implies, Namibia’s desolate northwest coast is the ultimate frontier. Colonies of cape fur seals haul out on lonely, wind-sculpted sands, beside rusting shipwrecks and scattered whale bones. Those same waves that frightened Portuguese mariners make the Skeleton Coast a haven for water sports today; join the surfers and harness the thrilling, dune-sculpting winds for yourself.

Your A&K Experiences: Lose yourself in the coast’s otherworldly landscapes: embark on nature drives in search of the rare, enchanting desert flora or comb the sands for whale bones and debris from centuries of shipwrecks.

Onguma Private Game Reserve, Namibia

2 days

Etosha’s best-kept safari secret

suggested

Tucked into the eastern nooks of Etosha National Park – Namibia’s salt-encrusted treasure trove of wildlife – Onguma is a paradise for safari-goers, where elegant camps hidden away in the scrub command prime position over quiet watering holes. Sit back and watch from under canvas as oryxes and giraffes come to drink, or head out to discover lions, cheetahs and leopards on spectacular game drives into this far-flung corner of the Namibian bush.

Your A&K Experiences: Discover the Namibian wilderness at your fingertips; in addition to morning game drives into Etosha National Park, join twilight or nocturnal safaris or an interpretive bush walk for deeper immersion in the natural world (available at an additional cost).
