Day 1-2

Namib Desert

Namib Desert

Meet your safari leader at 8:00 am for a departure briefing. We'll then drive through the rolling hills south of Windhoek and drop down the escarpment onto the desert plains to stop at Solitaire for the world’s best apple tart (own expense). This afternoon, we'll travel to our lodge and enjoy the vast open spaces of the Namib Desert.

On the next day, we'll visit the Namib Nauklauft National Park to witness the amazing landscapes of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei. The vleis are clay pans formed by the occasional flooding of the Tsauchab River. Sossusvlei is dotted with ancient Camel Thorn trees (Acacia erioloba) while the trees on Deadvlei are lifeless and stark against the surrounding tall orange sand dunes.

Sesriem (Town, Namibia)
Accommodation:
The Elegant Desert Lodge
  • Mid-range lodge located outside Namib-Naukluft NP (Namib Desert, Namibia)
Meals & Drinks:

Day 3

Swakopmund

Swakopmund

Swakopmund lies on the Atlantic coast, and the relatively cool sea breezes will be a welcome change from the hot desert days. The town lies at the mouth of the Swakop River which flows infrequently but forms the northern boundary of the relentlessly northward migrating sand dunes. Optional scenic flights from Swakopmund offer spectacular desert landscapes as they fly along the Skeleton Coast (at your own expense).

Main Destination:
Swakopmund (City, Namibia)
Accommodation:
Hotel Pension A la Mer

Day 4-5

Brandberg Mountain

Brandberg Mountain

We'll head inland to the Tsiseb Conservancy and the Brandberg, a mountainous granite outcrop. Standing at over 2,600m, it towers above the surrounding plains and is visible from a great distance. The Tsisab Ravine at the foot of the mountain contains more than 1000 rock shelters and some 45,000 rock paintings including the famous “White Lady”, which is a short 40-minute walk up the ancient watercourse.

Our lodge, situated in the dry Ugab River valley, is ideally situated to explore the area in search of rare desert elephants. We’ll join a local guide on a 4WD excursion. Being far-ranging and elusive, a sighting of the elephants cannot be guaranteed, but with the knowledge of our local guide, the day will be fascinating.

Main Destination:
Brandberg Mountain (Rock Art, Namibia)
Best Time To Visit May to September (Animals are easier to see)
High Season July to November (Some places can get quite busy)
Best Weather May to August (Less hot during the day)

Day 6-7

Etosha National Park

Etosha National Park

The salt pan in Etosha is the remnants of a large lake that dried up thousands of years ago. This “Great White Place” is 120km wide and forms the central attraction in the national park. Natural springs and waterholes around the edges provide life-giving water that sustains the wildlife in this otherwise arid area.

Elephants coated in the white salt dust from the pan make for extraordinary photos. Our camp is located on the edge of a floodlit waterhole allowing us to get a glimpse of the nocturnal animals that come to drink, including the rare black rhino, lion and possibly leopard. We'll enjoy the evening sitting at the waterhole in anticipation.

Main Destination:
Etosha National Park (Namibia)
Best Time To Visit July to September (Animals come to water)

Victoria Falls

The Zambezi River rises in Zambia before flowing through Angola and along the border of Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe, before plunging 100 metres over the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls.
