Day 1
Windhoek – Otjiwarongo
You will be collected from your accommodation within the Windhoek city limits or the airport by 7:15 am for a short pre-departure meeting. Heading north, we will make our first stop in the small town of Okahandja, where we will find Namibia’s largest wood carving market. We will then travel to our overnight destination at the Mount Etjo Campsite, located adjacent to the private Okonjati Game Reserve. After setting up camp and preparing lunch, we will drive 3 kilometres to the lodge, where there will be time for a dip in the pool. We climb aboard open game viewing vehicles to explore the 36,000 hectares on our first game drive. The open landscape makes game viewing and photography a pleasure. Dinner will be cooked over an open fire. After dinner, we head back to the lodge to watch some of the resident lions enjoy their evening meal. *Single supplement not mandatory if traveller can be matched with another traveller of the same sex to share with. Driving time: 2 to 3 hours. Inside Okonjati GR Dinner (Breakfast & lunch not included) Drinks not included

Day 2
Otjiwarongo - Okaukuejo
Departing after breakfast, we head back to the main road to continue our journey north, en route to Etosha National Park. We make a short stop for essential supplies in the small town of Otjwarongo before continuing on to Etosha’s main camp at Okaukuejo. We are introduced to the park with a short game drive between the main entrance gate (Anderson Gate) and Okaukuejo Camp, with a good chance to spot big game right from the very start. Etosha is huge, spanning just over 22,000 square kilometres and home to 114 species of mammals, 350 species of birds, 110 species of reptiles, countless numbers of insects, and, somewhat bizarrely, one species of fish. After setting up our campsite, we will head out into Etosha in search of big game. All visitors must be back in camp at sunset, but the "game show" doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Only a short walk from our campsite, Okaukuejo is justly famous for its very productive, flood-lit waterhole. Driving time: 3 hours. Inside Etosha NP All meals included Drinks not included
Destination: Etosha National Park Stay: Budget camping Inside Etosha NP Meals: All meals included Drinks not included
Day 3
Etosha National Park
We have the whole day to explore Etosha, and we want to make the most of it. The park gates open at sunrise, and after a quick cup of coffee and a snack, we will aim to be on our way as the sun breaches the horizon. We head to the gate, where we meet our local guide for the day. We will explore Etosha with him and on an open game viewer. Early morning is usually a productive time for game viewing, and first thing in the morning is a good time to catch big cats returning from the hunt. Etosha is a desert landscape, and water is the most scarce natural resource. There are, however, numerous waterholes here, and our game-driving technique is to take in as many as possible. Along the way, we will make a stop at a designated picnic area for a quick breakfast before continuing our game drive. There will also be time for a swim in the pool. We wind our way back to Okaukuejo, and we aim to arrive back at our campsite just before sunset. Inside Etosha NP All meals included Drinks not included

Day 4
Okaukuejo – Palmwag
Time to leave Etosha and concentrate on some of Namibia’s other highlights. After an early breakfast and game drive, we leave the park. Our first stop is a cultural visit to the Otjikandero Himba Village. The next leg of our journey today is truly spectacular. We turn to the west and head towards the mighty Etendeka Mountains and the Grootberg Pass. Etendeka translates as "flat top", and indeed, many of the surrounding mountains have flat table-tops. Palmwag is set out abreast of the Uniab River and under waving makalani palm trees, which often provide a refuge for Namibia’s unique desert-adapted elephants. Sometimes, coming very close to our camp and sometimes even entering for a visit, the elephants have been known to drink water from the swimming pools. We arrive in the late afternoon and set up our camp in time to enjoy a sundowner and to hopefully see some of the resident elephant herds. Driving time: 4 hours.

Day 5
Palmwag - Cape Cross
Today, we first head west to the Atlantic Ocean and then south, following the coastline to Cape Cross. We set off through more beautiful scenery and passing many weird and wonderful species of vegetation. In particular, we will see Namibia’s national plant, the amazing and endemic Welwitschia mirabilis. Some specimens are known to be over 1,500 years old. We enter the Skeleton Coast National Park and meet the chilly Atlantic Ocean. It is easy to see why this barren seaboard is called the Skeleton Coast. The wind, the waves and the huge fog banks all conspire to push ships onto the beach. Exiting the park at the Ugab River crossing, we continue to one of the largest seal colonies in the world. There are usually upwards of 100,000 seals basking on the rocks or swimming just off the beach. After visiting the seal colony, it is only a short drive to our overnight stop at Cape Cross. We aim to arrive in the late afternoon for a sunset walk on the beach. Driving time: 4 hours. All meals included Drinks not included
Destination: Spitzkoppe (Damaraland) Stay: Budget camping Meals: All meals included Drinks not included
Day 6
Cape Cross - Swakopmund
After breakfast and breaking camp, we head back to the coast and then south along the coast to the adventure capital of Namibia, Swakopmund. Heading south on the coast road, our first stop is a more recent shipwreck. We complete the final leg of our journey into Swakopmund. Here you will join a group in a vehicle with a specialist guide who will drive you onto the sand dunes by the sea. Our guide will discuss all the options with you in advance and will be able to facilitate any bookings that you would like to make. You will be dropped off at your accommodation anywhere within the city limits of Swakopmund. Driving time: 4 to 5 hours. Note: We recommend that departure flights not be scheduled for today.
