  • A trip to Namibia is a once in a lifetime experience and this tour will showcase the highlights of Namibia whilst being guided by an incredibly knowledgeable guide. This leaves you to enjoy the scenery and to sit back and relax.  

    The highlights will include the majestic sand dunes of the Namib desert, the cultures and awesome landscapes of Damaraland followed by a variety of wildlife at Etohsa National Park. This is topped off with a visit to Okonjima Private Reserve - home to the AfriCat foundation.

Highlights

  • The Iconic Red Dunes of Sossusvlei

    Watch as the first rays of the morning sun paint the mountains of sand in rich colour, and take the opportunity to walk up one of the dunes to capture the vast desert landscape below. 

  • Swakopmund

    Swakopmund was founded in 1892 and served as the main harbour for German South West Africa. Now a seaside resort, Swakopmund is at the heart of the Skeleton Coast tourism area and has plenty to keep visitors happy.

  • Track Rhinos in Ongava

    At the Ongava Private Game Reserve you will travel out on guided game drives, these usually depart in the morning and afternoon and there are opportunities to track rhino on foot too. 

  • Okonjima Nature Reserve

    Halfway between Windhoek and Etosha lies the well-known Okonjima Nature Reserve. The 22,000 ha Nature Reserve is surrounded by 96 km of fencing and was finally completed in 2010.

              

Outline Itinerary

Detailed Itinerary

    Depart London Heathrow for your overnight flight via Johannesberg to Windhoek.

     

    Day 2 - Windhoek

    Day 3 - Mariental

    Staying at: Zebra Kalahari Lodge & Spa

    This morning you will be collected by your guide and your adventure begins. The journey begins with an overnight stay at the Zebra Kalahari Lodge.

    We highly recommend a walk with the San people. It is so interesting seeing how they survived such arid conditions over the years and how they use the earths resources to find food and water in the unrelenting desert conditions. They are hunter-gatherers, hunting with bows and arrows, trapping small animals and eating edible roots and berries and they eagerly demonstrate this to guests.

    What makes this phenomenal experience is the click language that the San use to express themselves and with dramatic illustrations, guests are able to communicate with and understand the interesting information the San people share.

     

    Days 4 & 5 - Sossusvlei

    Staying at: Le Mirage Resort & Spa

    Another highlight awaits today and you cannot prepre for the enormity of the Sossusvlei sand dunes. An early start today ensures you have a huge reward by way of spectacular scenery as you see the sun rise over the towering dunes - a sight to behold forever! The hues that this creates are ever changing as the sun climbs high up in the sky and will surely impress.

     

    Days 6 - 7 - Swakopmund

    Staying at: The Stiltz Hotel

    Continue to travel north today and head for Swakopmund - back to civilisation.  We recommend a marine cruise out from Walvis Bay whilst staying in Swakopmund, all being well you will see lots of pelicans along with dolphins who all swim alongside the boat. We won't tell you about the surprise visitor!

     

    Days 8 - 9 - Palmwag

    Staying at: Etendeka Mountain Camp

    Continuing your journey and head in land today and you will be greeted by a different vista again. By now you will see that one of the many reasons for visiting Namibia is to experience the varied landscapes. A stay at Etendeka Mountian Camp will be packed full of adventure as you will have the opportunity to go out on walks, game drives and star gazing.

  • Days 10 & 11 - Ongava Private Game Reserve

    Staying at: Anderssons At Ongava

    Leaving behind the stark Kunene region, today you head towards the Ongava Private Game Reserve. At the Ongava Private Game Reserve you will travel out on guided game drives, these usually depart in the morning and afternoon and there are opportunities to track rhino on foot too. The day comes to end end as you and fellow travellers gather round the fire at Ongava and exchange tales of your life experiences. It is not uncommon to hear the roar of lions that roam the reserve, which just enhances the sense of being in the wilderness of Namibia.

     

    Day 12 - Okonjima Nature Reserve

    Staying at: Okonjima Plains Camp

    Starting your journey south, the next stop is at Okonjima. The work that is carried out at the lodge and being an integral part of the AfriCat Foundation  can only be admired. The AfriCat Foundation tries to ensure the survivial of Namibia's predators in their natural environment.

    As a guest, you will surely enjoy the experience of seeing leopard and cheetah along with being educated about the habits of these wonderful cats.

    Guests are invited on a nocturnal game drive, led by knowledgeable guides as the evening drives traverse the 20 000ha Okonjima Nature Reserve and allows you the opportunity to spot many nocturnal game species that you wouldn't usually see in the day. An example of wildlife that you would usually expect to see are the bat-eared foxes, aardwolves and owls. A highlight would be seeing leopards and brown hyaena go out in search of unsuspecting prey.
