It’s called The Diverse Namibia and has numerous set departures throughout the year. Itinerary (new for 2019) Days 1 & 2 – stay in the Kulala Wilderness Reserve (near Sossusvlei), exploring the huge iconic red dunes, with sightings of the desert-adapted wildlife that survive in one of the world’s oldest and most arid deserts.

Days 5 & 6 – stay in the heart of the ancient landscapes of Damaraland to the west of the Brandberg Mountain, stopping for lunch at Ugab Save the Rhino Trust Camp. This area boasts the largest concentrat­ion of black rhino anywhere on the planet outside a national park. The area boasts a varied assortment of desert-adapted wildlife and incredible geological formations.

Day 7 to 9 – head north-east to Ongava Game Reserve, next to the Etosha NP, which remains the highest density wildlife area within Namibia, its fame justly acknowledg­ed.
