Why journey to Namibia?

It's all about location, location, location, right? So, if your busy schedule only permits one week but you still want the full safari experience without the hassle of tiring drives, hectic location changes, and organizational issues -  this is the perfect place!

Simply hop on the plane – on your arrival everything is taken care of: personal pick-up at the airport, short transfer, no lodge-hopping, no malaria vaccination, no jet lag, no nada!

On arrival at Windhoek International Airport, you will be met by a representative and your Namibian adventure begins. The drive is only about 40 minutes from the international airport and offers spectacular landscapes, plus a chance to see baboons, giraffes, zebras or antelope on the way…


Wake up in one of the “Savanna Rooms” that are equipped with sweeping panoramic views. Glimpse Namibia’s wildlife from your private outdoor terrace. The place to retreat whenever you feel you need some quiet “alone time”.


To guarantee an exclusive experience for you we have booked the entire lodge with 11 tents in total. You can choose between a single-occupancy or a double-occupancy luxury tent. Single tents are limited to 3 in total -  so hurry up to secure your spot.
