Alright guys, here it is…. My FAVORITE trip to plan of 2025 (and honestly, maybe ever)!!
This client came to me a few weeks ago- “my wife and I want to go somewhere cool next month, maybe Africa but I don’t want to do a week long safari… just plan me something awesome that not everyone else does” I got a chance to spin my creative wheels and create a once in a lifetime trip for them to Namibia!!! I don’t think I’ve ever had FOMO so bad while working on a client trip.
These guests will start their time in Namibia with a night to adjust in Windhoek, then will fly to Etosha to stay at Ongava Tented Camp for a 3 day traditional safari. They’ll spend their time enjoying game drives, sundowners in the bush, and might even see elephants drinking from the watering hole on property!
After their safari is when things really get fun. These clients will hop on a private scenic plane charter to Namibia’s skeleton coast. They will get to see the stunning Namibian coastline, scattered with shipwrecks and whale bones, from above, with a guide explaining exactly what they are looking at. They will make their way to the iconic Shipwreck Lodge, the ONLY hotel on the skeleton coast and truly as remote as it gets. Just 10 cabins, the service is unparalleled. They’ll spend 3 nights here, sand boarding, quad biking, picnicking on the beach, and exploring the unique topography of the region.
Another scenic private flight will take them to their next stop… Kwessi Dunes in the NamibRand Nature Reserve, a vast red dune desert escape. The chalets at Kwessi Dunes are expertly designed- you have your interior bedroom and bathroom, but ALSO each of the 12 chalets has a connected open outdoor bedroom for stargazing as the property is a designated ‘Dark Sky Reserve’ with little to no light pollution. They’ll have 3 nights here to explore the Sossusvlei Desert, go on amazing nature drives and walks, stargaze, horseback ride, hit the spa, or relax by the watering hole to see tons of oryx.
Another perk? All 3 of these properties are fully all inclusive- food, drinks, and activities! Once they are in destination, they will barely have to touch their wallets!!
Can you tell I’m excited about this one??? I absolutely love when clients give me the freedom to plan the wildest, once in a lifetime itineraries. These guests leave in 2 weeks and I CANNOT wait to hear all about it!!
