Namibia

Just a 30-minute drive from Hosea Kutako International Airport, Zannier Omaanda is a secluded sanctuary nestled within a 9,000-hectare private reserve near the Namibian capital, Windhoek. The lodge is ideally situated for immersive safari experiences, including guided game drives, rhino and elephant tracking, and visits to the Shiloh Wildlife Sanctuary, dedicated to the protection and rehabilitation of endangered species. Guests can also explore the nearby Naankuse Foundation, known for its conservation work and cheetah research, or take scenic helicopter flights over the savannah for a bird’s-eye view of the dramatic landscapes.  

Perched on ancient boulders in the heart of the Namib Desert, this exquisite property offers an extraordinary escape. Located near the edge of the NamibRand Nature Reserve and just a scenic drive from the iconic red dunes of Sossusvlei and the surreal landscapes of Deadvlei, Sonop is ideal for exploring some of Namibia’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Guests can enjoy guided desert excursions, sunrise hot air balloon flights, horse riding across untouched terrain, or stargazing under one of the darkest night skies on earth. Though remote, the lodge is easily accessible via charter flight from Windhoek or Walvis Bay, combining convenience with total seclusion.  

Set in one of Namibia’s most remote and otherworldly landscapes, Okahirongo Elephant Lodge offers travellers a truly off-the-grid experience in the heart of the Kaokoland, near the village of Purros. Located within reach of the Skeleton Coast and the Hoarusib River valley, the lodge is ideally positioned for encountering desert-adapted elephants, lions, and giraffes, as well as visiting the semi-nomadic Himba communities for an authentic cultural insight. Guests can explore the striking beauty of the surrounding mountains and dunes on guided game drives or take scenic flights over the Skeleton Coast's hauntingly beautiful shoreline. Though isolated, the lodge is accessible via charter flights from Windhoek or Swakopmund, making it a hidden gem for those seeking privacy, exclusivity, and extraordinary landscapes.
