"Staying at Kavita was not only a lovely and relaxing experience, but I think it is important for visitors, who have come because of their fascination with African wildlife, to see what concerned, dedicated Namibians are doing to improve wildlife conservation in their country."
   Harriette F.

The trip was organized in detail focusing on guest comfort. The guides were social, informative, and attentive. Food was the best available, whether local and traditional, or prepared to order. Eating under all the conditions was fun and an important part of the experience.

Johannesburg International Airport Holiday Inn:

The hotel is located just a 3-minute courtesy van from Johannesburg International airport terminal and provides quality accommodations and friendly service.  This is a modern hotel with all the major conveniences including concierge services, restaurant, bar, gift shop,  news stand, and indoors pool.

All meals are served buffet style in the main dining room, and the breakfast buffet is especially good.

   Sossusvlei Lodge:

Surrounded by ancient camelthorn trees at the gateway to Sossusvlei Pan, the site of the world's highest sand dunes, the Sossusvlei Lodge has been designed to fit in perfectly with the Namib Desert environment.  The guest rooms have adobe walls, slate floors, and stretched canvas roofs designed to remain cool even in the heat of the day.  Guests have a choice of dining in the resort's first-class restaurant or of dining al fresco under remarkable southern skies.

  The Damaraland Camp:

This Camp is set in central Damaraland on the northern slopes of the Huab River valley.  The camp consists of eight large East-African style tents with quality furnishings, which flank a central lapa (canvas-topped, hard-sided permanent dining tent) with the bar and dining room.  Every guest tent has full en suite facilities and an amazing view of the dry river valley and the mountains beyond.  A feature of the camp is the unique rock pool.  Activities revolve around nature drives and walks into the Huab River system. The star-gazing is "par excellence" because of the crystal-clear night skies. There are no fences in the area which gives one a complete feeling of freedom.
 

Kavita Lion Lodge:

Kavita Lion Lodge is located on a large private game ranch just to the south of Etosha Park's western entrance.  Enjoy the hospitality and warmth of your hosts, Tammy and Uwe Hoth, and let them show you the wildlife and scenery at Kavita.  The accommodations consist of very attractive thatched-roof chalets overlooking a waterhole.  Enjoy the swimming pool, guided nature hikes, and game drives on the expansive ranch.  Kavita is also the home of the Afri-Leo Foundation and a sanctuary for lions unable to survive in the wild. The excellent cuisine at Kavita Lion Lodge is European style, using fresh, local ingredients.
 

Etosha National Park:  Ongava Camp

Ongava Tented Camp is located along the southern boundary of Etosha National Park in the 30,000 hectare, privately owned Ongava Game Reserve. Accommodations consist of six large comfortable walk-in tents with en-suite facilities.  All meals are enjoyed in the thatched dining area that overlooks an active waterhole. There is also a small pool.  Ongava Camp is operated by the Wilderness Safaris Company and meets their high standards for facilities and food.

Etosha National Park:  Mushara Lodge

Mushara Lodge, located 8 kilometers from the eastern entrance of the Etosha National Park, compromises 10 widely-spaced twin-bed bungalows equipped with air conditioning, telephone, safe, mini bar and ensuite bathrooms. A sumptious buffet-style breakfast and an excellent dinner complemented by a comprehensive wine list is served by dedicated staff in the air-conditioned dining room.  Mushara Lodge opened in 1998, making it one of the newest resorts in Namibia, and its facilities have been very well-maintained.

Okonjima Resort:

Okonjima is a private game reserve and luxurious resort that also is a rehabilitation center and sanctuary for African big cats.  Every year it is  chosen one of the leading resorts in Namibia. The accommodations are in individual chalets tucked away in the bush for privacy, or in a lovely setting with rooms surrounding a beautiful courtyard and garden area.  The main buildings include dining rooms, bars and shops for buying souvenirs.  Okonjima offers a wide range of activities including up-close cheetah, lion, and leopard sitings, guided walks, game drives, and after-dinner viewing of various nocturnal animals from a special game hide.

Your safari includes all meals and occasional snacks.  Most dietary preferences, including fully vegetarian, can be satisfied.  Just let us know in advance what you want.  We provide wine, beer, mineral water, and the non-alcoholic beverages of your choice throughout the safari.
