Day 2
Etosha National Park
Etosha National Park
Today you will get better acquainted with the routes around the southwestern and eastern end of the Etosha National park, as you make your way from the Okaukuejo area all the way to the greater surrounding area in the park and back in an open-aired game viewing/safari vehicle.
Etosha National Park is home to four of the Big 5. Elephants and lions are commonly seen in the park, while the elusive leopard hides in the densely vegetated areas. However, one of the best reasons to visit Etosha is its healthy population of black rhinoceros. This archaic beast is endangered and the waterholes are probably among the best places in the world to see this precious animal.
The plains are covered by large herds of springbok and zebra. The backdrop of the vast Etosha Pan makes game viewing in Etosha a unique experience. It will not be until late in the afternoon when we return to our accommodation.

Etosha National Park to Swakopmund - 510km (317miles) - 5H25min
We set off very early with a rather lengthy drive to the cosy town of Swakopmund on the mighty Atlantic Ocean. On this drive, we will pass the famous Brandberg mountain ranges. On 4 of August 1892 the crew of gunboat called ''Hyena'' erected two beacons to mark the landing site which symbolized the laying of the foundation stone of Swakopmund.
Swakopmund offers a unique blend of natural beauty and German charm. This coastal city is a haven for adventure seekers and those looking to unwind by the sea. With its palm-lined streets, seaside promenades, and historic buildings, Swakopmund effortlessly combines old-world elegance with modern amenities.
We will arrive in the late hours of the afternoon, and will have a bit of time to explore the town before dinner this evening, which will be at a fine seafood restaurant overlooking the ocean.

Swakopmund to Namib Naukluft Park - 376km (234miles) - 4H35min
We start our journey with a drive south-west to the Namib Naukluft Park, one of the most scenic landscapes in Namibia. In 1966 "Game Reserve No. 3" was de-proclaimed, and the Namib Desert Park was established in its stead. The Namib Desert Park included a small area north of the Swakop River where the Welwitschia grow, as well as the Moon Landscape east of Swakopmund. In 1979 two more large areas were added. The Naukluft Mountain Zebra Park was included such that the Naukluft Mountains now formed part of the protected area.
On route to the Sesriem area, we will pass Kuiseb and Gaub mountain passes, where will also have brief stops to take in more of Namibia’s beauty.
Solitaire is a great stopover for a lunchtime snack and houses one of the most famous bakeries in the country, which is situated in the heart of the Namib Desert. We will arrive in the late afternoon at our lodge and enjoy a lovely dinner in the Namib Desert.
