Namibia with Wilderness lodges: Sossusvlei, Damaraland and the Skeleton Coast by Cessna 208

Eleven days in Namibia with Sossusvlei, Damaraland and the Skeleton Coast. We fly you to the lodges in comfortable, air-conditioned Wilderness Air Cessna 208s.

An 11-day trip to Namibia by Cessna 208 Caravan. Accommodation: The Weinberg, Wilderness Little Kulala, Wilderness Desert Rhino Camp and Wilderness Serra Cafema. From €17,495 (per person in a double room, incl. business class flight from Germany).

We have picked three Wilderness lodges for you: Little Kulala Lodge in front of the dunes of Sossusvlei, Desert Rhino Camp in Damaraland, and Serra Cafema Lodge far north on the Kunene River. Between the lodges you do not spend hours in a four-wheel drive, you fly quickly and comfortably in air-conditioned Wilderness Air Cessna 208s. Every one of these flights over Namibia is a highlight in its own right. Your journey starts and ends at the fine boutique hotel The Weinberg in Windhoek.

THE HOUSES

Where you stay

Courtyard of the boutique hotel The Weinberg in Windhoek

Windhoek

The Weinberg

Location

Your five-star boutique hotel in Windhoek, the start and end point of the journey. You arrive here after the overnight flight, and here you spend the last evening before heading home.

The house

A colonial-style property with a planted courtyard, arcades and quiet places to sit outdoors. Your room opens onto its own terrace. Accommodation includes breakfast.

Things to do

Pool and sun deck for the afternoon between arrival and onward flight, with the shops and cafés of the Weinberg Village right outside. For dinner we recommend the Butcher Block or Cape Town Fish Market, both close by.

Good to know

Two nights are planned, one on arrival and one before the flight home. Anything you will not need at the lodges can stay at the hotel while you are in the bush. We arrange that for you.

Little Kulala Lodge in front of the mountains on the edge of the Namib

Sossusvlei, Namib

Wilderness Little Kulala

Location

The lodge lies in the private Kulala reserve on the edge of the Namib and has its own access to the dunes of Sossusvlei. You reach it via the airstrip served by the Cessna 208 from Windhoek.

The house

Free-standing structures of wood and canvas, set into the sand and open towards the desert. Your living area looks out across the plain, with generous terraces and a rooftop platform where you can spend the night under the open sky.

Things to do

Game drives morning and evening, hot air balloon flights over the dunes, e-bike tours and quad safaris. For sundowners the team drives the bar out into the middle of the plain.

Good to know

Two nights, with the approach to the lodge's own airstrip. The hot air balloon flight and the quad safari are extras that we book for you in advance. You set off early for Sossusvlei and Deadvlei, and the reserve's own gate saves you the detour via the main entrance.

Damaraland

Wilderness Desert Rhino Camp

Location

The camp lies in the Palmwag concession in Damaraland, on wide stony plains with mountain ridges on the horizon. The nearest neighbour is far away, and the approach is to a private airstrip.

The house

Tents on platforms, built of canvas and wood, open at the front towards the plain. The shared space is a lounge under canvas. In the evening, dinner is served outdoors at laid tables.

Things to do

The camp is built entirely around the black rhino. You track it on foot and by vehicle, together with the trackers of the Save the Rhino Trust. Desert elephants, zebra, giraffe, oryx, lion and hyena also come into view. At night the sky is free of artificial light.

Good to know

Two nights in the Palmwag concession, where the camp is run together with the Save the Rhino Trust. Game drives here take longer than usual because the trackers have to find the rhinos first. There are no fixed return times, but food comes along when it runs late.

Hartmann's Valley on the Kunene River

Wilderness Serra Cafema

Location

The most remote stop of your journey: Hartmann's Valley in the far north-west, directly on the Kunene, which forms the border with Angola here. All around are dunes and gravel, with a narrow green strip along the bank.

The house

Thatched buildings on stilts above the river, built with wood, natural stone and large open frontages. Your sleeping area looks onto the Kunene, alongside a lounge and a restaurant terrace in the shade of the trees.

Things to do

Quad bike tours through the dunes, boat trips on the Kunene with crocodiles and rare birds, desert safaris in the evening. Sundowners are served on a rock ledge above the valley, and then the night sky arrives.

Good to know

Two nights on the border with Angola, the most remote stop of the trip. The flight here is the longest of the journey and crosses the dunes of the Kaokoveld. The lodge arranges a meeting with the Himba, who live in the region, on request.

The passport must be valid for at least 6 months after entry and have at least 6 blank pages. A confirmed return or onward ticket and proof of sufficient funds are also required. For minors under 18, an English-language, internationally certified birth certificate must be presented; if a child travels alone or with only one parent, an official declaration of consent from the other parent is also needed. No vaccinations are compulsory when entering directly from Germany; a yellow fever vaccination must be shown when entering from a yellow fever area. The maximum stay for tourists is 90 days.

This varies by airline and fare. We'll let you know the exact free baggage allowance along with your trip offer.

What happens if flight times change?

We inform you immediately by email as soon as we're notified of a change.

PAYMENT & PROTECTION

How much is the deposit?

As a rule, the deposit is 20% of the trip price. For peak-season dates it may be higher; this will be stated in the respective offer. For non-refundable special-fare flight tickets, the deposit may also be higher, as the ticket must be paid in full immediately.

When is the balance due?

As a rule, 30 days before departure. We'll point out any deviations already at the time of booking.

How do I pay for my trip?

Payment is conveniently made by bank transfer.

This varies depending on the destination and nationality. We provide comprehensive information on the required documents and, if needed, also assist with obtaining visas.

I'd like to fly myself — what do I need?

Send us a copy of your pilot's license. We'll then support you with the license revalidation and inform you about all the documents required for it.

Which aircraft is right for my trip?

Can we bring our children?

We're happy to book child-friendly hotels suited to your trip with children.

I'm pregnant — can I still travel?

In principle, traveling is possible with an uncomplicated pregnancy up to week 34/35; the second trimester (weeks 14 to 28) is considered ideal. The exact rules vary by airline: many require a medical certificate of fitness to fly from week 28 onward, and most airlines decline to carry passengers from week 36 onward. Feel free to reach out — we'll check individually for your airline and route how your desired trip can be arranged.
