DESERT DUO

NAMIBIA

“Namibia has always been high on my safari list, and this year I have two compelling new reasons to go. The South Africa–based outfitter Natural Selection will unveil a pair of innovative lodges in 2018: The first, Hoanib Valley Camp, will debut in May among the towering sand dunes of the Hoanib River Valley, near the traditional villages of the Himba tribes. The second, the spectacular boat-shaped Shipwreck Lodge, will open on the country’s legendary Skeleton Coast.” —JACKIE CARADONIO
