For those clients with limited time available, this combination of our 3 days Sossusvlei Express & 3 Day Etosha Express is the perfect choice. Overnight in lodges located just outside both Namib Naukluft National Park and Etosha National Park and includes 1 night at Chameleon Guesthouse in between, you'll be able to experience the amazing sand dune sea of the Namib and Sossusvlei region as well as Etosha National Park, renowned as one of the best game reserves in Africa. The cherry on the cake for this trip is an overnight visit to Amani Lodge where you will have the opportunity to view large cats at close quarters, and to be able to contribute to the conservation of these wonderful animals.
