namibia Tours Journey through Namibia

Itinerary:

Day 1 Windhoek
Fly into Windhoek, you will be met on arrival and transfer to your hotel.

Day 2 Windhoek to Namib Desert
This morning your car will be delivered to your hotel. Later drive south into the heart of the Namib Desert with its majestic dunes and awe-inspiring landscapes. The rest of the day is at leisure.

Day 3 Namib Desert
Rise early and drive into the desert to see the sweeping dunes of Sossusvlei. Visit Deadvlei, a surreal white clay pan where only the ancient skeletons of trees remain. Later head to Sesriem Canyon and take a walk through the towering walls of this narrow gorge.

Day 4 Namib Desert to Swakopmund
Travel through the Namib-Naukluft National Park to Swakopmund. Make a stop en route at the arid Welwitschia Plains and the aptly named Moon Landscape.

Day 5 Swakopmund
This German-influenced town is the adventure capital of Namibia and offers a host of activities including sandboarding, parasailing, scenic flights and dolphin cruises in nearby Walvis Bay, all which are payable locally.

Day 6 Swakopmund to Damaraland
Continue to Damaraland, stopping at the huge fur seal colony at Cape Cross. On arrival see the unusual formation of the  Dolerite ‘Organ Pipes’ before making your way to Burnt Mountain, which glows with the changing colours of the sunset.

Day 7 Damaraland to Etosha NP
After breakfast visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Twyfelfontein to marvel at over 2,500 Bushman rock carvings and paintings, dating back over 10,000 years. Continue your journey to Etosha National Park, one of the most impressive reserves in Africa.

Day 8 Etosha NP
Drive into the park in the early morning to watch the animals at their most active. The park surrounds Etosha Pan, a salt desert which is home to four of the Big 5 – elephant, lion, leopard and rhino. Stop by one of the waterholes and wait for nature to come to you before continuing your full day drive, looking out for wildlife along the way. At the end of the day head to your next lodge, just east of the park.

Day 9 Etosha NP
Spend a second full day in this incredible national park, visiting several different waterholes. All hold new surprises and may attract wildlife you have not seen on previous game drives.

Day 10 Etosha NP to Okonjima NR
Drive south through Namibia’s majestic Otavi mountain range, to Okonjima Nature Reserve. This region is famous for the leopard and cheetah conservation projects at the ‘AfriCat Foundation’.

Day 11 Okonjima NR to Windhoek airport
