Itinerary*
Day 3 Windhoek – Sossusvlei
Today, we take the snaking roads through mountains and via the town of Rehoboth, home to Namibia’s Baster community, before heading for one of Namibia’s top touristic attractions, Sossusvlei with its red dunes, and our lodge for the next two nights. Dinner is served under the Namibian Sky.
Meals included: B,D
Day 4 Sossusvlei
An early rise this morning for an exciting day exploring Sossusvlei. Considered some of the tallest dunes in the world, these monumentally high star shaped dunes are a sought-after destination. The hues constantly change with the sun rising from deep apricot to warm red and all shades in between. As the sun rises above the soaring dunes, admire the views as we eat our breakfast in these wonderful surroundings. You will have the opportunity to climb these awesome dunes and explore the Deadvlei before we continue towards Sesriem Canyon and return to the lodge for an afternoon of relaxation.
Meals included: B,D
Day 5 Sossusvlei – Swakopmund
The coastal area of Namibia awaits our discovery today. A journey that takes us via the Kuiseb Pass and onto the Walvis Bay Lagoon, a site famous for the thousands of flamingos that live there. We then make our way to our coastal hotel via a beautiful stretch of road that has the cold Atlantic on the left of us, and the towering dunes on our right. Dinner in Swakopmund this evening will be at the converted oil-fired Danie Hugo tug boat restaurant, aptly named The Tug, constructed in the ship yards of Port Glasgow Scotland.
Meals included: B,D
Day 6 Swakopmund – at Leisure
Today is free for you to spend relaxing. Alternatively, why not join our optional dolphin and seal catamaran cruise from the nearby town of Walvis Bay – sure to be a truly memorable experience. You will also have the chance to join the optional Living Desert Tour, a unique 4×4 adventure drive through the nearby dunes to introduce you to the flora and fauna that survives in this inhospitable landscape.
Meals included: B
Day 7 Damaraland
Heading north along the coastline of the Skeleton Coast this morning, we call at Henties Bay, a popular Holiday resort for the locals, before moving inland towards Damaraland, a seemingly lifeless part of the country, but home to the desert adapted rhino and elephant. Prehistoric water courses with open plains and grassland, massive granite hills and deep gorges make up what is without doubt one of Namibia’s most scenic areas. Spend the rest of the day relaxing at your lodge.
This evening we’ll gather for a meal made using fresh ingredients from the lodge’s gardens.
Meals included: B,D
Day 8 Damaraland
The Twyfelfontein area is rich in fascinating geology and culture. Today we call at one of the largest collections of ancient rock paintings and engravings in Africa. The formation and colour of the nearby Burnt Mountain is a phenomenon that has caused much speculation, and the Organ Pipes, a mass of basalt slabs in a ravine gouged out by a river, is another geological curiosity in the area. Later you will visit the Damara Living Museum, where you’ll learn about some of Namibia’s oldest inhabitants. Discover a Damara village, watch traditional performances and perhaps even buy hand-crafted jewellery during your visit.
Meals included: B,D
Day 9 Damaraland – Etosha Region
This morning we visit the Petrified Forest where you will find the remains of tree trunks, estimated to be about 200 million years old, scattered over a small enclosed area. We then proceed towards Etosha National Park and visit an authentic Himba Village before reaching our lodge. A guided tour around this village will not only give one an in-depth insight into the life and ways of the last traditional tribe in Namibia, but amazing photographic opportunity as well. Experience the milking ceremony, the smoke bath, and learn more about the beliefs around the holy fire, ancestors, and herbal medicine. One will also learn about the jewellery and hairstyles to imitate the status of each tribe member and their close relationship with nature, their cattle and children. In the afternoon, if time permits, we will enjoy a game drive. Returning to the lodge just prior to sunset.
PLEASE NOTE that plastic bags are not permitted into Etosha National Park
Meals included: B,D
Day 10 Etosha National Park
This morning we’ll head to the eastern border of the Etosha National Park in our touring vehicle, where our next lodge is situated. On the way, there will be even more opportunities to watch the animals as they gather around the waterholes and roam freely around the park – incredible sights that you’ll surely never forget. Once we have arrived, the rest of the day is free for you to relax. Enjoy dinner at the lodge this evening.
PLEASE NOTE that plastic bags are not permitted into Etosha National Park
Meals included: B,D
Day 11 Etosha National Park
Todaywe’ll board our 4×4 safari vehicles once more for a full-day game drive in the park. The Park is home to hundreds of species of mammals, birds and reptiles, including several threatened and endangered species such as the black rhinoceros. We’ll return to the lodge for dinner together this evening.
PLEASE NOTE that plastic bags are not permitted into Etosha National Park
Meals included: B,D
Day 12 Etosha National Park – Windhoek
This morning we head for Tsumeb, Otjiwarongo and Okahandja. Okahandja is the traditional home of the Herero people of Namibia. Here we will stop at the local wood carvers’ market where we have the opportunity to buy some of these crafts. Our final hotel is an old country estate outside of the city where we will enjoy a farewell dinner. Enjoy delicious, authentic food and heartfelt hospitality as you share stories of your adventures, all with an ice-cold Namibian beer in hand.
Meals included: B,D
