Day 10
Return to Windhoek
Regrettably, this marks the final day of your tour as your guide takes you on an estimated five-hour journey back to Hosea Kutako International Airport. There are two different routes to your destination. For those with an interest in wine, it's about an hour's drive to Neuras Wine & Wildlife Estate, offering the chance to sample Namibian wine and tantalize your taste buds. Alternatively, for those captivated by magnificent views of the surrounding landscape, a two-hour drive to Spreetshoogte Pass provides a final opportunity to absorb the breathtaking beauty. Upon reaching the airport, your guide will facilitate the check-in process before bidding you farewell. We recommend arriving at least three hours before your international departure. If your schedule permits, a Windhoek City Tour or an extra night in the capital can be arranged at an additional cost.

Southbound Tours goes the extra mile
Our trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe was already our second trip with Southbound tours and it won’t be our last. Marco really listens to your expectations and exceeds them. He makes your trip worry-free. We look forward travelling with Southbound tours again!

Marco is a reliable guide, pilot and travel agent who will make your trip unforgettable
I came into contact with Marco through his services as a pilot. He was very helpfull regarding a trip through Namibia, and I ended up booking my entire trip with Southbound Tours. Marco provided excellent service throughout the entire trip. He took care of every detail including booking activities. Our trip was in July 2021 but Marco was able to care of any Covid and non- Covid related issues. He has an extensive knowledge and network of local guides, lodges and hotels. Marco provides excellent communication and documentation. His service is not only very reliable but he goes the extra mile to make your trip unforgettable. I did not hesitate to book a second trip to Botswana, Zimbabwe, part of Namibia and South Africa last november 2023. The service of Southbound Tours was again top notch !
