Nov. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- New York, NY – Extraordinary Journeys Africa, specialists in luxury bespoke safaris to Africa, is offering two unique programs to Namibia and the chance to follow in the footsteps of NBC Today Show host, Matt Lauer, in his most recent feature of “Where in the World is Matt Lauer?”. If his stunning images of Namibia whet your appetite to visit this amazing country, you’ll want to take advantage of EJ Africa’s outstanding offers.

Spectacular Namibia: Spectacular Namibia is a six-night program showing the most beautiful parts of Namibia, away from the crowds, taking in three completely contrasting ecosystems within one spectacular country. This program starts with a two night stay at Kulala Desert Lodge, which provides private access to the iconic dunes of Sossusvlei and a rooftop deck for those who dare to sleep under the stars. Activities include guided nature drives to the world famous dunes and excursions to Sesriem Canyon. The itinerary then takes guests to Doro Nawas in Damaraland, where guests are treated to starkly beautiful vistas and desert-adapted wildlife, as well as ancient rock engravings at nearby Twyfelfontein, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From Doro Nawas, guests will head to Anderson’s Camp in Etosha to explore the iconic Etosha National Park, renowned for its large herds of game and the excellent predator viewing that goes with it.

Wild Namibia: Wild Namibia is a six-night program that features two of Namibia’s most outstanding and remote camps at a value price. The trip includes three nights in Damaraland at Desert Rhino Camp where guests have the thrilling experience of tracking desert-adapted black rhino on foot and in 4x4 vehicles. The area of rolling, rocky hills is home to the largest free-ranging population of black rhino in Africa.  Its freshwater springs support healthy populations of desert-adapted elephant, Hartmann's mountain zebra, giraffe, gemsbok, springbok, kudu and predators such as lion, cheetah, leopard, and brown and spotted hyaena. This is game viewing at its best with some of the most knowledgeable guides in Namibia and far from the madding crowds.

A flight to Namibia’s northern boundary takes guests to Serra Cafema, located in one of the most exotic and beautiful areas in Africa. The next three nights are spent at this luxury camp located on the Kunene River, which lies within the homeland of the exotic Himba people who have preserved their ancient nomadic style of life and dress. Activities include sand dune exploration on all-terrain vehicles along, boat excursions on the Kunene River, and trekking in the desert mountain and river valleys on foot.
