The activities provide a wide range of differing impressions, from scenic
flights up the Skeleton Coast, dolphin cruises with private beach lunch, to
hiking and cycling in Damaraland, walking in the Namib's great dunes and
interacting with traditional Himba people.
This safari combines the exclusive luxurious lodges of Wilderness Safaris with
the remote locations of private Discoverer campsites, in unique Meru-style
tents.
The style of accommodation in the private Discoverer campsites takes you back to
the era of Africa's exploration. Pure linens of heavy cottons, brass bucket
showers and basins, separate flushing toilets and shower areas all add to the
atmosphere, while comforts and amenities are elegantly provided.

ADDITIONAL
SAFARI NOTES
Guides:
The entire safari is guided and hosted by a professional trained guide with
in-depth knowledge and experienced knowledge that creates an unsurpassed
seamless safari experience.
Exclusive experience: Most areas in which we travel are private
concessions, with Discoverer campsites being for the sole use of Discoverer
Safari guests. At the lodges and hotels en route we have the chance to meet
other Wilderness Safaris guests.
Routes: To maximize guests' travel time, a variety of travel modes that
bring out the best of each area is used: flying in private charters and overland
transfers provide both a bird's-eye view and an in-depth experience of the
contrasting landscapes of Namibia.
International air connection onto the safari: If arrival is planned for the day
of the safari's departure, please ensure that this is with the earliest possible
international flight arrival, before 10h00. Arrival on a later flight may
necessitate additional road or air transfers (as the main group's departure for
the first camp/lodge will already have taken place), subject to extra cost.
International air connections leaving the safari: Please ensure that your
departure flight is booked for after 15h30 from Windhoek. For earlier
international departure flights, an additional transfer will be required to
arrive for this connection, subject to extra cost.
Bilingual safari dates: This service aims to facilitate a greater level
of experience for guests that do not speak English fluently. These safaris will
be led by a guide; however there may be a translator to assist the guide. Please
note on all bilingual safari dates that the guide or translator's home language
is English / Afrikaans. This additional free service does not guarantee the
level of fluency and depending on group dynamics a varying amount of the foreign
language will be spoken.
Flashlights/ torches: Please ensure that a minimum 2-D cell flashlight is
brought on safari, with spare batteries. Head lamps are also useful. Wilderness
Safaris does not supply flashlights.
Camera battery charging facilities: Please note that a 12V cigarette
lighter adaptor will be required (that is compatible with camera make) on this
safari for charging batteries while on game drive or transfer drives. 110/ 240V
outlets are available at the permanent lodges; however Skeleton Coast Research
Camp only has 12V electricity.
Dietary requirements and special occasions: Due to remote locality of
Explorations camps, please ensure that full dietary requirements and special
occasions are advised at the time of your booking confirmation.
