Your itinerary in detail

Day 1: Arrive in Windhoek

  • Transfer to Windhoek, a multicultural city bustling with life, surprising visitors with a combination of European architecture and the lively beat of African culture. The city has a rich cultural life where activities happily alternate into interesting combinations.
  • In the Katutura township you will be introduced to the sounds and smells of Africa culminating in the Tukondjeni Market, a busy place, where one can buy traditional Namibian food.

 

Overnight stay with breakfast in Windhoek

 

Day 2: Windhoek - Sesriem - Sossusvlei

  • Set off towards the desert.
  • Drive into the Namib-Naukluft National Park via the Sesriem Gate, marvelling at sandy mountains in a variety of apricot, red and orange, set against a crisp blue skyline.
  • Be enchanted by the surreal Deadvlei, surrounded by some of the tallest dunes on earth, and Sossusvlei, where the dry Tsauchab River ends abruptly among the dunes.
  • Take the opportunity to climb one of these majestic dunes and admire the desert landscape below. 

 

Overnight stay with breakfast near Sesriem

 

Day 3: Sossusvlei

  • Continue exploring the Sossusvlei with its flamboyant colours and stunning scenery.
  • Lunch at the lodge
  • Visit the Sesriem Canyon in the afternoon. This 50-metre-deep canyon was carved by the Tsauchab River and was a vital site for the Nama, Herero and Damara peoples. Sesriem means "6 belts", and refers to the belts needed to hoist buckets of water up from the gorge. Over the centuries, the presence of water has often caused strife between the peoples, but today birds mainly inhabit this exceptional place.

 

Overnight stay with breakfast near Sesriem

Day 4: Sossusvlei - Namib Desert - Swakopmund

  • Visit Walvis Bay, a small port town on the Namibian coast. The well-sheltered lagoon is one of the 10 most important wetlands on the African coast and home to up to 80,000 birds in summer, including flamingos, pelicans and cormorants.
  • After noon, you can enjoy one of several optional activities on offer.
  • Swakopmund is often called the 'playground of Namibia'. There are countless activities, from adventures to exploring the fascinating Namib Desert and its incredible ecosystem.
  • Enjoy the relaxed pace of this idyllic coastal town with a cup of coffee and freshly baked cake in one of the many cafés. Take your time to soak up the atmosphere of this picturesque town with its historic buildings, museums, shopping arcades and beach bars.

 

Overnight stay with breakfast in Swakopmund

 

Day 5: Swakopmund - Twyfelfontein

  • Departure to Damaraland. Vast, untamed and rugged Damaraland is an exceptionally beautiful area with open plains and spectacular rock formations.
  • In Damaraland, plants and animals have adapted to the harsh environment over millennia. The local population is of mixed ancestry, but most consider themselves Damara, a unique group of people who recognised the value of wildlife on their land and formed a Community Wildlife Conservancy to protect it. Today, it is one of the last places in southern Africa where wildlife still roams freely as it did thousands of years ago, a true wilderness.
  • Be sure not to miss the main attractions, including Spitzkoppe, the Brandberg, Twyfelfontein, Vingerklip and the Petrified Forest.
  • During your stay in this region, you will definitely come into contact with the Damara people, who use a language characterised by its famous clicks, and you might even meet the 'desert elephants'.
  • Visit Twyfelfontein, which has the most spectacular collection of petroglyphs and engravings in Africa.

 

Dinner (excl. drinks) and overnight stay with breakfast in Twyfelfontein

Day 6: Twyfelfontein - Etosha National Park

  • Today is the day to get your camera ready, as you'll trek into Etosha National Park full of wildlife. Spotted, striped, with long necks, short legs... there's a creature to discover behind every bush, in every nook and cranny.
  • For more than 100 years, zebras, elephants, giraffes, oryxes, wildebeests, springboks, kudu and other animals have roamed the park in peace. 
  • With a bit of luck, you may spot the more nocturnal predators such as lions, leopards, hyenas or jackals.
  • Birdwatchers will enjoy plenty of opportunities for identifying more unusual 'feathered friends'...

 

Dinner (excl. drinks) and overnight stay with breakfast in Etosha NP

 

Day 7: Etosha National Park

  • The Etosha Pan is a giant salt pan which, depending on the season, flickers dry and dusty during the heat of the afternoon or attracts thousands of birds after heavy rainfall. You might even be lucky enough to spot a cheetah.
  • Enjoy continued safaris in the park, visiting the various waterholes, sometimes to the east, sometimes to the west.

 

Dinner (excl. drinks) and overnight stay with breakfast in Etosha NP

Your destination

Namibia

Namibia, located in southwestern Africa, is an exceptional destination offering a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. Known for its vast, untouched landscapes, it is a perfect haven for those seeking adventure, tranquillity, and wildlife encounters. The country boasts modern infrastructure, making travel accessible and comfortable, while the well-preserved traditions of its indigenous people remain a key part of its appeal.

 

Must-sees:

 

  • Etosha National Park: A world-renowned wildlife haven, home to four of the Big Five and a variety of endemic species.
  • Fish River Canyon: One of the largest canyons on earth, offering dramatic vistas and geological marvels.
  • Swakopmund: A charming coastal town that showcases the lingering German influence through its architecture and vibrant cultural scene.

 

Culinary culture:


Namibia’s culinary offerings are a reflection of its diverse cultural heritage. Traditional dishes, such as kapana (street food-style grilled meat) and bobotie (a spiced minced meat dish), are popular in urban areas. The influence of German settlers is apparent in baked goods like kuchen and hearty sausages. Fresh fish and game meat are also common, with biltong (dried cured meat) being a favourite snack.

 

Dive deeper:


Beyond the iconic sights, Namibia offers a wealth of lesser-known cultural experiences. In Swakopmund, explore the remnants of German colonial architecture, or visit the Himba people in the north, known for their red ochre body paint. For a truly unique experience, take a 4x4 adventure through the ancient Namib Desert, where some of the tallest sand dunes in the world await.

 

Good to know:


The currency in Namibia is the Namibian dollar (NAD), which is pegged to the South African rand. Ideally visited between April and October, the dry season offers the most pleasant weather for outdoor activities. Transport is well-served by local airlines and a network of paved roads. Public transport is limited, so hiring a car is recommended for more remote areas.
