Itinerary

Day 1 - Sossusvlei

We head south, via Rehoboth to the Namib Desert, home of the world' s highest dunes. As we negotiate through the secondary roads leading to our first night in the Desert, we will either stop along the road to enjoy a lunch pack or can do so at Solitaire. Solitaire is a very famous stop-over en-route to Sossusvlei. It is advisable that the clients get an early rest, as tomorrow will be quite a day!

 

Day 2 - Sossusvlei
As indicated above, an early rise is required. However the group will enjoy a morning cup of coffee and grab a rusk/biscuit, while breakfast packs are loaded in the vehicle. After passing through the park entrance, we set off to Dune 45, the world' s most photographed dune!
After enjoying breakfast at Dune 45, we will stop again at the main entrance to Sossusvlei, from here the group will be transferred to the Sossusvlei area, and explore the beauty of the desert world on foot. By midday we gather again at the 4x4 entrance and head back to the lodge, for lunch and afternoon relaxation. Visit Sesriem Canyon later in the afternoon, a sundowner drive and return in time for dinner.

Day 3 & 4 - Swakopmund

After leaving the desert behind (not really!), we drive towards the west. The next to two days will be spent by the coastal side, and is also a welcome breeze in terms of some civilization. There are many activities, ranging from dolphin cruises, horse riding, quad biking, and much more. Or the day can be spend at leisure, doing laundry or checking mail or just plain walking around, this coastal town. Swakopmund is also known for its fresh seafood restaurants. 

Day 5 - Damaraland
Now the safari is heading north, via Henties Bay, Cape Cross, back via Uis to Damaraland. It is here at Twyfelfontein that we find one of the biggest collections of ancient rock art and engravings, done thousands of years ago by the San people.

Another accolade for Damaraland is that it offers the most beautiful sunset, provided you are at a sufficient height to experience it. But the area self is a wonder! It is also here that we find the elusive Desert Elephant.

Day 6 & 7 - Etosha National Park

This morning we undertake a twyfelfontein excursion before heading off to Etosha National Park. A good amount of our time in the park will be spend on game-driving and viewing. This is more enjoyable early morning and late afternoon, when the animals get into a playful mood. During our time in Etosha we will take lunch at one of the 3 camps on offer and escape the scorching sun of the midday, by spending time by the pool side. You have an option to partake in the night game drives, which we can assist you to book directly at the camp.

Day 8 - Waterberg
Enjoy a morning guided drive in the park, before continuing with our safari.
We set out to the magnificent plateau Waterberg. Upon arrival at Waterberg, the group can undertake a short walk on many trails on offer at this historic place. The views are really stunning at the Waterberg, and it is one of the most beautiful places to visit.

Day 9 - Aabadi Bush Camp
Today will be a relaxed drive, as we head towards Aabadi Bush Camp to complete our wildlife experience with a cultural one. This is a total different feel to being in the car. The group can either go for a walk with San trackers or do so early in the morning. The evening will be spend around the campfire and supplemented with a possible performance by the San people.
Accommodation is in the form of thatch huts, with open-air showers.

Day 10 -  Windhoek
Today is the last day of the tour, but as we leave the camp behind we will stop at Okahandja to visit the woodcarvers market. Upon arrival in Windhoek, if time permits, we undertake a township Tour. You will then be transferred to your place of accomodation or to Hosea Kutako International Airport for your flight back home.
