Day 1 - Sossuvlei
We head south, via Rehobot h 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 lunch 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 and head to the car, while all 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, 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 camp, 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 coast 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, via Cape Cross and back through 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 height to experience it. But the area self is a wonder!
Day 6 & 7 - Etosha National Park
A good amount of our time in the park will be spent game-driving. 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.
Day 8 - Divundu - Ndhovu Safari Lodge
Today we embark on our journey to the Caprivi. Stopover in Rundu as this is a long way and cannot be tackled in one day. Enjoy sunset champagne boat cruise.
Day 9 & 10 - Caprivi
Continue driving to the Caprivi. Drive through the Bwabwata National Park. A lush contrast to the rest of the country, the Caprivi panhandles, rivers, flood plains, wetlands and forests are part of a five-nation conservation area that is home to the largest population of elephants in the world. With red lechwe, sitatunga and reedbuck on the plains and hippos and crocodiles patrolling the waters, almost everything you could expect to see in the famed Okavango Delta you can see here. Over 400 bird species have been recorded here.
Day 11 - Rundu Today we turnaround, heading back to windhoek. Stopover in Rundu.
Day 12 - Waterberg Camp
We set out to the magnificent plateau Waterberg. Stop over at Cheetah Conservation Fund. 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 in our opinion.
Day 12 - 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.
