SOUTHERN AFRICA
NAMIBIA’S DESERT 11DAYS
AND CHEETAH SAFARI
How does the world’s oldest and driest desert sustain and protect
diverse wildlife? To answer that question, start in Namibia’s iconic
red sand dunes and seek out desert-adapted species such as oryx
antelopes, springboks, jackals and ostriches. Enjoy a dramatically
changing landscape as you soar above the dunes and the rugged
Skeleton Coast en route to Damaraland where conservationists
from Save the Rhino Trust engage with free-roaming black rhinos.
This vast desert ecosystem also supports desert-adapted elephants,
Hartmann’s mountain zebras, giraffes, gemsboks, springboks,
kudus and predators such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and brown
and spotted hyenas. Next enjoy classic safaris in search of Africa’s
Big Five on a private reserve near Etosha before concluding at
Okonjima, a private reserve home to AfriCat’s conservation efforts
for threatened cheetahs, leopards, and other wild carnivores.
