Arrival

Day 1
Windhoek - Sesriem
You'll be picked up at your accommodation within city limits or at the airport by 7.00 am for a pre-departure meeting. There is lovely mountain scenery on your drive to Sesriem. You'll stop at Rehoboth for essential supplies and get back on the road passing by the small community at BűellsPort. From here, you'll continue through the desert landscape, aiming to arrive at Sesriem at around lunchtime and make your campsite under an ancient camelthorn tree from where you can glimpse the red dunes of the world’s oldest desert. Enjoy a late afternoon picnic-style lunch after. In the late afternoon, there is the option for a short drive will take you to Elim Dune, for the best golden light before sunset. It is a relatively short walk back, through the desert, to your camp. Note: Single travellers can be matched with another traveller of the same sex on a twin-share basis or pay a single supplement. Sleeping bag and small pillow can be rented for NAD 30 per day. Driving time: ~4-5 hours. Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Destination: Sesriem (Town) Stay: Budget camping Meals: Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 2
Sossusvlei
Sunrise in the Dunes is the game's name this morning, which means a pre-dawn start. Your first stop will be at Dune 45. The best time to photograph the dunes is at sunrise and sunset. After a quick breakfast, you'll carry on for the last few kilometers before entering the ancient Tsauchab Riverbed. The Tsauchab River is ephemeral, it only flows seasonally when there is enough rain, and for the most part, the riverbed is dry. There is a 4×4 shuttle service that will transport you through the sandy terrain of the riverbed. You will visit Dead Vlei, an ancient pan entirely surrounded by sand, strikingly populated with dead, skeletal camelthorn trees. You will have time to explore the area on foot and to climb one of the highest dunes in the world, some towering 300 m above us, the views are breathtaking. You will drive back to Sesriem for lunch and perhaps a dip in the swimming pool. In the afternoon, you'll take a short excursion to see the Sesriem Canyon. Just outside Namib-Naukluft NP (Namib Desert) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Destination: Namib-Naukluft National Park (Namib Desert) Stay: Budget camping Just outside Namib-Naukluft NP (Namib Desert) Meals: All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)
Day 3
Sesriem - Swakopmund
After an early breakfast, you will depart into the desert. Cross the Namib gravel plains. Your first stop is the tiny town of Solitaire. Sample the apple pie that has made this homestead famous. You will cross the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 south degrees. You have two mountain passes to traverse this morning. You'll have lunch at Walvis Bay Lagoon and complete the final leg of your journey into Swakopmund. You will be dropped off at your accommodation anywhere within the city limits. We recommend Amanpuri Travellers Lodge, where your guide stays tonight. Swakopmund offers many opportunities to keep you busy. Scenic flights over the desert are very popular and for the more adventurous, perhaps you can try skydiving or quad biking over and in the Namib dunes. Your guide will discuss all the options with you in advance and will be able to facilitate any bookings that you would like to make. Dinner tonight is for your own account. Driving time: ~5 hours.

Day 4
Swakopmund - Etosha National Park
After breakfast, we aim to be on the road from 09h00 today. Heading on the main scenic road, passing the small town of Outjo, and onwards to Etosha National Park. You will be introduced to the park with a short game drive between the main entrance gate and Okaukuejo Camp with a good chance to spot big game from the very start. Etosha is just over 22,000 square km in size and home to 114 species of mammals and 350 bird species of bird. After setting up the campsite (time permitting), we will head out for a short afternoon game drive in search of big game. Elephant, rhino, giraffe and the big cats are often seen in the area. All visitors must be back in camp at sunset, but the ‘game show’ doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Okaukuejo is famous for its flood-lit waterhole where we are afforded the chance to see all of Etosha’s treasures. Driving time: ~6 hours. Inside Etosha NP All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 5
Etosha National Park
We have the whole day to explore Etosha. The park gates open at sunrise and after a quick coffee and snack we will aim to be on our way as the sun breaches the horizon. 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. On our way back to Okaukuejo we will stop to have a closer look at the Etosha Pan. The name Etosha translates as ‘great white space’ but this name does not do justice to the immensity of the pan. Over 4,700 square km of the dazzling white mineral pan, is so big that it can be seen from space. Keeping a sharp lookout for game as we wind our way back to Okaukuejo, we aim to arrive back at our campsite just before sunset and just in time for the best hour of the day at the Okaukuejo waterhole.

Day 6
Etosha National Park - Windhoek
After leaving camp, we will game drive to the park exit, hoping to catch sight of some magnificent predators and plains game before heading south to Windhoek, we stop briefly at the small town of Okahandja to refuel our vehicle. This is also where we will find Namibia’s largest wood carving market. Craftsmen from all over Namibia come here to showcase a wide variety of items both large and small. Here we have the opportunity to collect a truly Namibian souvenir and at the same time to support the local artists and communities. We aim to be back in Windhoek in the late afternoon. There will be a shuttle service to take you to your accommodation within the Windhoek City limits or drop you at the airport. We recommend Chameleon Backpackers for a great value, centrally located accommodation. Note: We recommend that departure flights are not scheduled for today. Driving time: ~4-5 hours.
