Tour itinerary:
DAY 1
Windhoek, Namibia: On arrival at Hosea Kutako International Airport in Namibia’s capital, Windhoek, you will be met and transferred to your accommodation. Your guide will meet you at the lodge and we then embark on a short orientational city tour of Windhoek. The evening is spent at leisure.
DAY 2
Windhoek - Okonjima, Namibia: After breakfast we head north to Okonjima, which is home to the AfriCat Foundation. On arrival you have the opportunity to go on an open vehicle game drive or visit the AfriCat Centre (own expense), a non-profit organisation, committed to long-term conservation of Namibia's large carnivores, especially cheetahs and leopards.

DAY 3 & 4
Okonjima – Etosha National Park, Namibia: We leave the Waterberg behind us and travel towards Namibia’s well-known Highlight of the North – Etosha National Park. After arrival we go on our first game drive through the park hopefully spotting a variety of wildlife. Etosha Game park was declared a National Park in 1907, it is home to approx 114 mammal species, 340 bird species, 110 reptile species, 16 amphibian species and, surprisingly, one species of fish. On Day 4 we’ll spend as much time as possible driving through the ‘Great White Place’ (translation for Etosha) trying to get closer to some of the Big Five. The resort also offer fabuous floodlit waterholes, which provide excellent game viewing at night. [BLD, BLD]
DAY 5
Etosha National Park - Twyfelfontein, Namibia: We leave the wild animals behind at Etosha and move onto the spectacular scenery of Damaraland. On our way we visit the small German town of Outjo where we relax for a coffee break. The Petrified Forest is next on the itinerary before reaching Twyfelfontein where we walk to visit the ancient bushman’s artwork carved and painted into the surrounding Mountains. Our final destination of the day is Twyfelfontein. [BLD]
DAY 6
Twyfelfontein - Swakopmund, Namibia: Today we Swakopmund. If you want to you can take part in a few of the many optional activities that are offered in Swakopmund like Quad biking, Sand boarding or Sky Diving in the afternoon. Of course you could also just go and enjoy the little German coastal town and explore its beauty, beaches and charm. This evening you can enjoy a typical Namibian meal in one of the many restaurants (own expense). [BL]
DAY 7 & 8
Swakopmund - Sossusvlei, Namibia: An early morning start takes us from Swakopmund south through Walvis Bay on our way to Sesriem in the apparently oldest desert – Namib Desert. We visit the world’s highest sand dunes at Sossusvlei. There is an option of taking the shuttle into the dunes. (Own expense) At sunrise these red sand dunes, which can reach heights of over 300 m, are absolutely spectacular and provide for a fantastic photo opportunity. With luck, there may even be water in the vlei (lake). [BLD, BLD]
DAY 9
Sossusvlei - Windhoek, Namibia: We leave the Desert behind us and travel back to Windhoek. This will be a long day but driving through beautiful country site and short stops in-between will reimburse us for that. In the evening we’ll arrive back in civilization in Windhoek and enjoy if you want a hearty meal in one of the many restaurants (own expense) and celebrate our last evening of the tour. [BLD]
