Namibia, journey to the country of waves

From the blue coastal waves to the golden waves of the sand dunes flooded by sun, Namibia is a paradise of colours between sand, sea and the Atlantic Ocean. This young Republic, independent since 1990, is one of the jewels of Southern Africa today. With hardly 2 million inhabitants, this small country of 10 ethnic groups, symbolized by 10 sunbeams on the national flag, is a welcoming and warm destination.

 


 


Peace and beauty


Whether you be a bird watcher, a rambler, a nature lover, or in love, Namibia is worth the visit. It offers peace and beauty. We love South Africa for its wildness. We love Namibia for its light. The paysage is grandiose, its nature is relaxing, its fauna is surprising and the promise of an eyeful is well and truly fulfilled!
How do you visit this country? By looking at the sky, at the ground, at the animals and at the people. The ideal means of transportation is the air taxi. It allows you to move easily and to access all the treasures of this big country which is 1,5 bigger than France. Conducted tours are possible, from lodge to lodge...


 



Little Kulala: the dunes of Sossusvlei


The French singer Gérald de Palmas sings of his " Walk in the sand ", he is certainly making reference to "LittleKulala". The natural dunes of Sossusvlei, the biggest in the world, are just two steps away. Clear blue sky, a red sanded sea bed, tent sheets stretched out under the sun...this camp is the summum of eco-tourism. And a total change of scenery is assured, promising intimacy and authenticity. Another detail to entice you? The evenings rhythmed by the serenading crickets on the terrace of your lodge or in your private swimming pool.


 



Okahirongo Elephant Camp: the Himba


Not to be missed is a visit to Himba in the northwest. Pastoralists, of which the women cover their bodies with an ochre red mud, dazzled Muriel Robin during her televised broadcast. The "Okahirongo Elephant Camp" is nearby. A lodge of luxury with a hill that overlooks the road that the elephants take. The cuisine is excellent with an Italian influence (the owners, Romains, fell in love with the place and never left). The design is stylish with a harmony between the materials. The swimming pool has a fantastic view over the valley. And Wayne, a fascinating cowboy and guitarist, will serve you as a good guide. Clint Eastwood be warned!



Onguma Tented Camp: the park of Etosha


A smart stop off right in the heart of the national park of Etosha, is assured at the "Onguma Tented Camp". Here are seven exclusive houses whose interior design is inspired by the colours of the surrounding nature. Cream, rust and chocolate echo beige. Refined dishes have to be tried before leaving for a safari. There is no bus with a tourist troop here. Giraffes, cheetahs, buffaloes and multicoloured birds are to be observed in intimacy and respect. As for the lions, their night grumbling in the starry night is close to magic. 



Wolwedans Dunes lodge: the desert of the South


Nine suites perched at the top of a hill right in the heart of the desert. Far from everything. Here is "WolwedansDunes Lodge". Definitively, this is the best place for meditating, reading, reflecting. A library with a chimney, a swimming pool seemingly suspended on the rusty coloured sand, a wine cellar with excellent South African vintage wines. For total deconnection 3 days is the advised minimum stay! Your body can connect with nature and learn to respect Her.




Mowani Mountain Camp: the site of Twyfelfountain


A singular landscape awaits you in this southern part of Damaraland. The desert seems strewed with blocks of majestic granite. The sight is surprising. Congratulations are due to the architects of this lodge. They’ve succeeded in mingling the luxurious houses with the rocks. The Royal Suite was enjoyed by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. You can cool off in the swimming pool which is dug into the rock. Tea-time can be enjoyed on a headland with a 360 ° panorama. The attractions are numerous in "Mowani Mountain Camp". Don’t miss the nearby archeological site of Twyfelfountain with its more than 2500 sculptures and rock paintings.
