Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive Windhoek
On arrival at Hosea Kutako International Airport in Namibia’s capital, Windhoek, you will be met and transferred to your accommodation. Your guide will meet you at the lodge and we then embark on a short orientation city tour of Windhoek.
Day 2: Outjo
Drive north to our first destination, Outjo in the Kunene Region, the gateway to the Etosha National Park and roughly translated as “little hills”. This afternoon there is the option to visit a Cheetah Farm in the area (own expense).
Day 3 & 4: Etosha NP
Today we travel to Namibia’s well-known Highlight of the North – Etosha National Park for our first game drive trying to get close to some of the Big Five. The resorts also offer fabulous floodlit waterholes, which provide excellent game viewing at night.
Day 5: Khorixas
This morning we bid farewell to the wild animals of Etosha and move onto the spectacular scenery of Damaraland. A stop at the Petrified Forest is on the itinerary as well as the chance to view ancient rock carvings and fascinating geological phenomena.
Day 6: Swakopmund
Head to the charming coastal town of Swakopmund, where you will have the opportunity to participate in many optional activities, such as Quad biking, Sand boarding or Sky diving. Alternatively, just soak up the atmosphere of this little German Town and enjoy its beauty and beaches.
Days 7 & 8: Sossusvlei
An early morning start takes us from Swakopmund south through Walvis Bay on our way to Sesriem in the Namib Desert. Make a stop at the world’s highest sand dunes at Sossusvlei, an area characterised by massive red sand dunes. A drive into the dunes is also available (own expense). At sunset these dunes, which can reach heights of over 1000 feet, are absolutely spectacular and provide for a fantastic photo opportunity.
Day 9: Windhoek
We leave the Desert behind us and travel back to Windhoek. Although a long day we travel through the beautiful countryside with short stops en-route. In the evening we’ll arrive back to in the city to enjoy a hearty meal in one of the many restaurants (own expense) and celebrate our last evening of the tour.
Day 10: Depart
We enjoy our final breakfast together. You will be transferred to Windhoek Airport in time for your onward journey.

Your Destination
Location
Namibia is a country of startling contrasts that straddles two great deserts: the Namib (after which it is named) is the oldest desert on the planet, and its sea of red sand lies along the Atlantic coastline, while in the eastern interior lies the Kalahari, a vast and sparsely vegetated savannah that sprawls across the border into neighboring countries.
