Key aspects of this tour

Location and lodging on safari

Although there are many accommodations near Etosha National Park, upon entering the park, you will see the animals in their natural habitat, past the morning sun and before sunset. And surely, once there, you’d like to see them. That’s why with ONLY ONE, you can experience it, and also stay in a luxury hotel with private reservation. Inside the reserve you will see the animals and you will be just 1 minute from the park gates. The only one accommodation is a 5-star property. There will never be those who can match us.

If you think of the desert of the namib, you can not miss its beautiful sunrises and spectacular afternoon!

Although it is a red dune photo that is often seen in guides and photos of travel agencies, it is not always visible.

Fantastic red dunes appear in front of just 30 minutes from sunrise and sunset. However, the gates of the national park open during the morning sun and close during the sunset. It takes 30 minutes from the gate to Dune 45 and 1 hour to Dead Frey. If you stay outside the national park, you can’t see the red dunes.

Only One secured the only hotel at the door, which is said to be the hardest to organize in Namibia. We are particular about the place where you can worship the sand dunes without worrying about the weather before the morning sun or after sunset. Do you want to photograph the Namib Desert and the starry sky? Your wish will come true!

ONLY ONE is always on the lookout for its customers

I don’t think it’s a trip just to get to know tourist spots. I want to create moments when I can feel the light, the wind, the smell, the color and the people of Namibia. I actually checked with my own eyes and set this schedule with the customer in mind. Except Windhoek, 3 consecutive nights. You can challenge the safari and desert twice as long as you can afford two consecutive nights. We choose everywhere from accommodation to meals and places to visit!

Highlights

9-Day Journey to Namibia from Only One

5 hours drive north of Namibia’s capital, Windhoek. Etosha means «a great white land», and as the name suggests, there is a large salt lake called Etosha Pan in the park. It is said that there are only 340 species of birds, but mammals are the main observations here. There are many animals such as elephants that gather in the waters, lions, rhinos and buffaloes called Big 4.

He lives in Kunene, northern Namibia, and raises cattle and goats. The Himba women continue to live a traditional life by applying something like a cream called «Oka», which is a mixture of reddish ground powder and cow fat, and using ornaments.

The most beautiful port city in Namibia. Located at the northern end of the Namib Desert, it is the only area in the world where the sea and desert are adjacent. The contrast of desert yellow, lake blue, flamingo rose and plant green is a beauty that doubts the eyes. The seafood in the port city where the cold current passes are delicious. Fresh oysters are especially popular at affordable prices! He manages time elegantly between safari and desert.
