Day 1 - UK to Windhoek

Today you will fly to Namibia's capital, Windhoek.

Day 2 - Windhoek

Upon arrival and en-route to our first hotel, we will admire some of Windhoek's most iconic sights including an interesting mix historical architecture and modern buildings. This evening will be a chance to get to know your travelling companions over a welcome drink and dinner.​ D

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. B,D

Day 4 - Sossusvlei

An early rise this morning for an exciting day exploring Sossusvlei. Considered some of the world’s tallest dunes, these monumentally high, star-shaped dunes are a sought-after destination. The hues change with the sun from deep apricot to warm red and all shades in between. You will have the opportunity to climb these dunes and explore the Deadvlei before we continue towards Sesriem Canyon and return to the lodge for a relaxing afternoon. B,D

Day 5 - Sossusvlei - Swakopmund

We’re heading towards the coast, travelling through the northern edges of the Namib Naukluft Park home to the incredible Welwitschia Mirabilis, a plant said to produce only two leaves in its entire 2000 year lifespan. The last stretch of our journey takes us to Swakopmund and its elegant Swakopmund Railway Station, now a stately hotel and our home for two nights. Dinner this evening will be at the converted oil-fired Hugo tug boat restaurant, aptly named The Tug.  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 – a truly memorable experience. You can also choose to join the optional Living Desert Tour, a unique 4x4 adventure drive through the nearby dunes to introduce you to the flora and fauna that survives in this inhospitable landscape. B

Day 7 - Damaraland

We'll head north along the coast today via Henties Bay, a popular holiday resort, before moving inland towards Damaraland, a seemingly lifeless part of the country, but home to the desert adapted rhino and elephant and without doubt one of Namibia's most scenic areas.

This evening we'll gather for a meal at our hotel. 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. B,D

Day 9 - Damaraland - Etosha National Park

This morning we visit the Petrified Forest and view the remains of tree trunks, estimated to be 200 million years old, scattered over a small enclosed area. Our route then continues to south of the Etosha National Park. There will be an opportunity to visit an authentic village of the Himba Tribe before arriving at our lodge in the Etosha region. PLEASE NOTE that plastic bags are not permitted into Etosha National Park. B,D

Day 10 - Etosha National Park

Today we’ll board our 4x4 safari vehicles for a full-day game drive in the park, before arriving to our lodge this evening. The heart Etosha National park, which was founded as early as 1907, is the 5,000 square kilometre salt pan. This salt pan, which is up to 120 km long and 55 km wide, was formed about 2 - 10 million years ago when the Kunene River flowed into Lake Ekuma, the extension of which formed the Etosha Pan. Later, the Kunene shifted its bed westwards to the Ruacana Falls, cutting off the water supply to the lake. During the drying period, the bottom of the former inland lake became very brackish, wind erosion deepened the depression and a deposited layer of clay and silt remained, up to 240m thick in places.

The park's great animal wealth includes well over a hundred species of mammals, including elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, black rhinos, blue wildebeests, giraffes, plains zebras and the rare black-nosed impala, the Damara dik-dik (pygmy green antelope) and 340 different bird species. The western part of Etosha National Park is also home to roan antelope, sable antelope and mountain zebra.. B,D

Day 11 - Etosha National Park

This morning 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 back at the lodge, the rest of the day is free for you to relax before dinner this evening.
PLEASE NOTE that plastic bags are not permitted into Etosha National Park. B,D

Day 12 - Etosha National Park - Windhoek

This morning we make our way toward Windhoek, stopping at Okahandja, the traditional home of the Herero people of Namibia. 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. B,D
