Days 1 — 7

Damaraland, Namibia

Welcome to Africa! You are met on arrival in Windhoek and transferred to the domestic terminal. You meet your light aircraft transfer to Palmwag Camp. Your guide will be waiting for you on arrival and will transfer you to camp.

For more than 20 years, the Save the Rhino Trust (SRT) has worked ceaselessly to protect the last free-ranging rhino population on Earth: the rare desert-adapted black rhino. In the remote, rugged Palmwag Concession, teams of local trackers use camel trains to help with the research and monitoring of this animal.

On this original and exciting Exploration, guests join the ships of the desert on a great adventure: an eight-day walk (little time is spent actually on the camels) deep into the heart of the Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world, where a camel train and a team of Save the Rhino trackers take us in search of this rare and endangered species. Guests thus gain access to some of the most remote and almost inaccessible regions of the Concession.
