A 7-day fly-in safari by private charter from Windhoek to the dunes at Sossusvlei, up the coast to Damaraland and on to the eastern side of Etosha.

Namibia Tour Overview
Seven days by private charter from the dunes of Sossusvlei over the coast to Damaraland and on to the waterholes of eastern Etosha
Seven days by private charter from Windhoek to three of Namibia's great landscapes: the dunes at Sossusvlei, the rock country of Damaraland and the waterholes of eastern Etosha, two nights at each. The flight north runs up the Atlantic coast, and there are no long drives anywhere. Up to 4 guests in the aircraft.
7-Day Namibia Sossusvlei to Etosha Fly-in Safari
You are met on arrival at Hosea Kutako International Airport and handed your travel documents, then meet your pilot for a briefing before the flight to Sossusvlei, about an hour and ten minutes over the Naukluft mountains to the edge of the Namib sand sea.
You land at Witwater, Desert Homestead's own airstrip, for the short transfer to the lodge, and the afternoon ends with a sundowner drive on the reserve. Two nights here.
Meals B / D
The dunes. Sossusvlei itself, Deadvlei with its nine-hundred-year-old camelthorn skeletons on cracked white clay, Dune 45, Big Daddy and Elim Dune, and Sesriem Canyon, cut by the Tsauchab River and only two metres wide in places. Star dunes with as many as five crests rise three hundred metres here, in the oldest desert on earth.
Your excursion into the park is included, out early for the first light on the dunes. Lunch is at your own cost, and a hot air balloon flight over the sand sea can be arranged as an extra.
Meals B / D
Back to the airstrip for a scenic flight north over the sand sea and up the Atlantic coast to Swakopmund, about an hour and a half, with shipwrecks, the old diamond workings and Sandwich Harbour below. Around thirty minutes to refuel, then fifty minutes inland to Twyfelfontein.
A road transfer takes you to camp among the granite and sandstone of Damaraland, khaki plain and sheer rock that is home to desert-adapted elephant and black rhino. Two nights here.
Meals B / D
A nature drive into the dry bed of the Huab River to look for desert-adapted elephant is included. The elephant range widely and are never a guarantee, but this is one of the better places on earth to find them.
The rest of the time is for the camp and the country around it. Twyfelfontein holds more than two thousand rock engravings, the finest prehistoric rock art in southern Africa and Namibia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the Organ Pipes and Burnt Mountain close by. A guided visit can be arranged as an extra. Lunch is at your own cost.
Meals B / D
Back to the airstrip for the flight north to Ondangwa to refuel, about an hour and a quarter, then on to the Mokuti airstrip on Etosha's eastern edge and a short road transfer to camp.
Two nights on the eastern side of the park, where the waterholes draw the wildlife in from the surrounding plains.
Meals B / D
Game drives into Etosha National Park, four across your two nights at Mushara, in the morning and the late afternoon when the waterholes are busiest.
Etosha holds 114 mammal species and 340 bird species around a 4,800 square kilometre salt pan, and the eastern side is flat endless plain and tree savannah, reached through the Von Lindequist Gate.
Meals B / D
A last morning activity, then the transfer to Mokuti and the flight back to Hosea Kutako International Airport, about an hour and a half.
Check-in for international flights closes two hours before departure, so afternoon and evening flights connect best.

Traveler Stories
"Watching the northern lights from that coastal overlook was one of those moments you carry with you. EcoVoyager's team knew exactly where to take us and when."
"They made my trip to Chile super smooth. I had nothing to worry about, they connected me with local guides and took me to some super cool places."
"My kids are still talking about the lemurs months later. EcoVoyager handled every detail so we could actually be present together."
"Absolutely loved our Mongolia trip in July 2025! Ecovoyager put together the best itinerary possible that combined adventure and comfort. We would 100% recommend Ecovoyager to our friends and family!"
"The Rupununi was fabulous. Even if there weren't any animals, it would've been a great experience. The only negative was leaving."
"The trip was thoughtfully curated for a REAL Cuban cultural experience, juxtaposing between the island's insolvency and the faux luxuries propped up by foreign investment."
"The salt flats at sunrise were even more stunning than I'd imagined. Our guide positioned us perfectly for the reflections."
"EcoVoyager put my mind at ease with expert guidance on how to stay safe and enjoy the vibes. If I were to plan another solo trip to an unfamiliar country, I'd trust EcoVoyager to help me through it all."
"I had a wonderful time. Organization was superb and our experiences were maximized due to great planning and enthusiasm."
"Staying with nomadic families, riding through valleys with no other tourists in sight. This is the kind of travel I didn't know I was missing."

Three ways to fly the same route.
Yes. Same aircraft, same legs and the same stops. The only difference is that Standard lands at Desert Homestead's own airstrip on the first day, and the other two land at the Sossusvlei airstrip.
Standard is dinner and breakfast at each lodge, with a sundowner drive and an excursion into the dunes at Sossusvlei, an elephant drive in Damaraland and four game drives in Etosha. Luxury is full board at Sossusvlei and in Damaraland with a guided excursion at every stop, and fully inclusive in Etosha. Premier is fully inclusive at Sossusvlei and in Etosha, with two activities a day, and full board with the same excursions in Damaraland. Each day of the itinerary lists what you get.
Often, yes. It has to be quoted individually because availability differs by camp, so ask us and we will put a price together.
What a charter safari is actually like.
A Cessna 210, chartered for your party alone, flown by a licensed pilot who briefs you before each flight. The rates are for two or four travellers because that is what the aircraft carries.
About an hour and ten minutes from Windhoek to Sossusvlei, an hour and a half up the coast to Swakopmund with a thirty-minute refuelling stop, fifty minutes on to Twyfelfontein, around an hour and a quarter to refuel at Ondangwa before Etosha, and an hour and a half back to Windhoek.
Yes. Light aircraft carry limited weight and space, so soft bags are needed and there is a limit per person. We confirm the exact allowance when you book.
What is included, and what can change.
Yes, for the activities listed at your comfort level.
The charter is priced on the aviation fuel cost at the time of quoting, so a significant change in fuel prices before travel can change the flight cost. We tell you if it does.
Solo departures are quoted individually because one person carries the whole cost of the charter. Contact us and we will price it.
What is realistic.
Etosha holds 114 mammal species and 340 bird species, and two nights on the eastern side give you a real chance at elephant, lion, rhino and large herds of plains game. Nothing is guaranteed, and any operator who tells you otherwise is selling you something they cannot deliver.
Possibly. They range enormous distances along the dry riverbeds and are not confined to any reserve, so sightings are real but never certain. The nature drive at every comfort level goes out specifically to look for them.
