NamibiaFamily adventures and the highest sand dune in the world

Now your exciting nature adventure in Namibia begins, as your journey takes you to Sossusvlei, a salt-clay pan surrounded by sand dunes, which stands out almost unrealistically from the red sand dunes with its light-colored ground. Your lodge is located in the middle of this enchanting world and offers you unique views. The light changes the desert in no time at all, immersing it in a completely different atmosphere.

Visit the salt pans, climb Big Daddy, which at 350 meters is considered the highest sand dune in the world, or enjoy the absolute highlight of a balloon safari at sunrise—it's not just children's eyes that will light up! When the sun sets in the evening, it becomes clear why the Nature Reserve was the first in Africa to be designated an "International Dark Sky" reserve. In this virtually uninhabited desert, there is no light pollution, making the nights some of the darkest in the world. The sky, on the other hand, is littered with stars in a density that is hard to put into words. Thanks to the completely open space concept, you can even enjoy this starry sky directly from your bed.

Today, the journey continues to Swakopmund, where you can marvel at numerous buildings from the German colonial era on a city tour. Swakopmund is also considered Namibia's adventure capital, as its location allows you to take trips into the desert on the one hand and excursions on the sea on the other.

If you want to be active, you can explore the dunes by bike, enjoy the lagoon on a unique kayak tour, or show off your sandboarding skills. On the sea, seals, dolphins, and sea lions await you on a boat tour, and pink flamingos await you in the lagoons. The desert awaits you and your family with an exciting safari to the Little 5.

Those seeking relaxation and recreation will be pampered with various wellness treatments in the hotel's own spa. The hotel's own pool on the spacious roof terrace is undoubtedly a highlight. Here you can refresh yourself after an eventful day and reflect on the impressions you have gathered.

At your next stop, look forward to the dreamlike Twyfelfontein, one of Namibia's most beautiful regions. The dry desert landscape of Damaraland is barren, but in combination with sunrises and sunsets in harmony with reddish, round rock formations, it offers an enchanting play of colors in shades of orange and magenta. Discover millennia-old rock paintings and follow in the footsteps of the last rare wild desert elephants.

Nestled among mighty cliffs, Camp Kipwe offers impressive views of the Aba Huab Valley. Built on wooden stilts and platforms, viewing decks, lounges, and chalets are hidden among the rocks, bringing you into direct contact with the unspoiled wilderness. Look forward to learning more about the flora and fauna on game drives and discovering the traditions of the local tribes during cultural visits.

Your next destination takes you and your family to the 22,935 square kilometer Etosha National Park in northern Namibia. This is one of the country's most important protected areas. Known for its abundant wildlife population that gathers at waterholes, you are guaranteed to see animals here.

Stay at Etosha Oberland Lodge: this wonderful retreat harmoniously combines luxury and complete privacy. The infinity pool offers an unparalleled view of the vast tree savannah and two popular waterholes located nearby. As the sun slowly sinks towards the horizon and the colors of the sky and landscape change, you can watch this breathtaking spectacle from small, private seating islands that gently extend into the vast plain.

Your journey continues to the eastern part of Etosha National Park: explore Namibia's untamed wilderness with an experienced ranger at your side. Encounter lions, giraffes, and rhinos, and marvel at the famous Etosha Pan, which attracts numerous flamingos and other bird species after heavy rainfall.

Mushara Lodge is the ideal starting point for your safari: with only ten spacious chalets, you will find a very friendly atmosphere here. The lodge's large pool offers refreshment after an exciting safari, and the excellent cuisine serves authentic dishes with vegetables and fruit from the lodge's own garden.

The last stop on your exciting Namibia trip takes you to the 22,000-hectare Okonjima Nature Reserve. The reserve is a refuge for wild animals and home to the AfriCat Foundation, which protects endangered big cats in the wild. Your accommodation, the exclusive Okonjima Bush Suite, is committed to making safaris sustainable.

The philosophy of the accommodation is a "gentle" safari that benefits both the wildlife and the guests. This takes the form of guided game drives, bush walks, and special hyena trekking excursions. The exclusivity, traditional design, and luxurious furnishings create a unique, authentic safari atmosphere. The wooden deck with its sunken designer pool offers plenty of space to unwind and relax. Your own butlers and chefs will take care of your culinary needs while you explore the wild savannah on safari.
