If there was ever a country that demanded it be explored luxuriously, it would be Namibia. From off-grid lodges in Kaokoland – where your phone’s functionality will reduce to simply that of a camera – to crenelated castles in Windhoek, that marry quirky kitsch design with contemporary construction in an impeccably tasteful partnership, Namibia luxury holidays are a perfect lesson in slow, deliberate and defined travel. Watch the still desert sky come to life as you float across cool private pools in the Namib, follow rangers up apricot-coloured dunes, past sinuous tracks created by lone springbok and oryx, and ogle in amazement as herds of inquisitive and wild elephants stop to suss out your breakfast in Damaraland.
If you like your Namibia luxury holidays to come with a side of history, take a detour to Swakopmund – the town where Bavarian buildings, spires and restaurants meet African character and climate. Soak up its misty morning fog and crashing Atlantic waves before heading down the Skeleton Coast to the crimson epicentre of the Namib – Sossusvlei. If you still need convincing that Namibia luxury holidays are for you, East Etosha is sure to seal the deal. Take a guided safari across its chalky pan and you are sure to spot lions and cheetahs eyeing up their dinner, elephant herds lolling around in natural springs and flocks of ostriches racing each other over the reserve’s golden hinterland. One thing is for sure though – unlike ostriches, you can rest assured that Namibia luxury holidays will not be something you forget anytime soon.
