Quiet Skies Safari

Enter a world of an older, ancient time: a place of velvety night skies; other-worldly creatures; and the hush of wind over endless sand dunes. In 2025, join Micato to celebrate the subliminal sounds of nature in Africa’s first Wilderness Quiet Park, the NamibRand Nature Reserve in southern Namibia. 

The Quiet Skies Safari pays homage to stillness and awe as we travel on a journey to one of the best places in the world for stargazing—this land is also an International Dark Sky Reserve. Spend the evenings gazing into the luminous heavens, dazzling in their rarely seen abundance, embark on adventures by day for the chance to see desert-adapted wildlife, and stay in unforgettable accommodations such as Sossusvlei Desert Lodge and Kwessi Dunes. 

Highlights:

• Stylish stone-and-glass villas with unobstructed views of desert and sky—including retractable skylights above the oversized beds.
• Astronomer-guided evening talks in Sossusvlei Desert Lodge’s spectacular observatory (pending availability). 
• Superlative vistas: the blood-red dunes of NamibRand Reserve; Sesriem Canyon, carved by the Tsauchab River; the mighty Dune 45; and the Naukluft Mountains.  
• A tranquil hot-air balloon ride; morning meditation and yoga sessions at Kwessi Dunes in the heart of the NamibRand Nature Reserve; and e-biking excursions in the Sossusvlei Private Desert Reserve. 
• Touchdown to takeoff services of your Micato Safari Director, and access to our 24/7 Micato Concierge Service.
