Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Let your Feature Stays take you close to nature, from a camp with easy access to the Masai Mara Game Reserve and a lodge within Kruger National Park, to the banks of the Zambezi River and a lodge next to Namib-Naukluft National Park in Namibia.
Enjoy a front-row seat for wildlife viewings during 4x4 game drives in the Masai Mara, the Namibian desert, Lake Nakuru's National Park, Chobe National Park, Etosha National Park and Kruger National Park, with expert guides at the helm.
Discover the region’s best with Exclusive Experiences, including a boat trip on Lake Naivasha, 4x4 drive through the Makgadikgadi Pans, a privately catered cruise down the Zambezi River, and a traditional mokoro journey through the Okavango Delta.
Visit a local Maasai community known for championing Maasai women’s health and education. During this Exclusive Experience, you’ll be welcomed by traditional Maasai warrior song and dance and learn about this remarkable culture.
Take in the spectacular contrasts of Namibia – climb the iconic Dune 45 to see the sand dunes of the Sossusvlei, explore the picturesque Deadvlei Salt Pans, Sesriem Canyon and Damaraland’s ancient rock paintings and petrified forests.
Is this trip right for you?
This itinerary features some long travel days, which can be exacerbated by bumpy African roads. It is recommended that you pay close attention to the given approximations of driving hours.
As the early bird catches the worm, the early camper sights the animals. There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days.

We understand this uncertainty can be frustrating, and we strongly recommend packing a bit of patience and flexibility.
7. The Namibian Government has announced that a visa is now required to enter the country. This visa can be obtained on arrival, though we encourage you to apply in advance online to speed up the border crossing process. More information and a link to apply for the visa can be found here -

I have been dreaming about travelling in Africa for 35 years. Every game drive was an adrenaline. Rather than run away the animals would stop and look at us, sometimes coming within a few metres. We toured five countries each had its own unique culture and landscape. Trip of a lifetime.
