Day 1

Windhoek to Etosha National Park

You will be collected from your accommodation or the airport at 07.00 am for a short pre-departure meeting. Heading north from Windhoek, we stop in Otjiwarongo to gather supplies before continuing to Etosha and we enjoy a light lunch pack whilst “on the move”. We enter Etosha National Park and game drive our way to our overnight accommodation at Halali Camp. There are good chances of spotting many animals as we tour through the park, stopping at the various waterholes along our way. All visitors must be in camp by sunset and we aim to arrive at our lodge at Halali just before sunset and with time to settle into our rooms, with en-suite bathroom and tea/coffee facilities. The ‘game show’ in Etosha doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. All the Etosha camps have floodlit waterholes for extra game viewing opportunities. T NOTE: No single supplement will be charged if you are willing to share a tent with another single traveller of the same sex. Driving time: ~5 1/2 hours.

Day 2

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 we aim to be on our way just 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. We return to Halali for breakfast and to load our vehicle before heading out into the park once again in search of big game. On our way today we will stop to have a closer look at the Etosha Pan. We exit Etosha at the Anderson gate close to sunset and it is just a short drive to or accommodation in a comfortable spacious twin share room with modern en-suite bathroom facilities. An ideal space to sit back, relax and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. A fantastic dinner is prepared by our guide this evening.

Day 3

Etosha National Park to Swakopmund

After breakfast we aim to be on the road by 07.30 am today. We are heading for the Skeleton Coast and we are taking the scenic route. We first head south on the main road, passing the small town of Outjo, then onwards towards the west and picking up the gravel road as we travel through an area known as Damaraland. We continue on through the beautiful landscape, making a stop for a light picnic lunch, under the shadow of Namibia’s highest mountain, the Brandberg, before we continue our journey west and soon arrive at the coast and the chilly Atlantic Ocean. Heading south on the coast road our next stop is a more recent shipwreck. We complete the final leg of our journey into Swakopmund, we check into our accommodation, the centrally located A La Mer hotel and the town is easily explored on foot from our central location.

We have a leisurely start this morning and lie-in, a big breakfast and a wander around town.

Just 40 km along the coast to the south, Walvis Bay, (Whale Bay), lagoon is an internationally recognised Ramsar site, and is justly renowned for its birdlife and in particular flamingos which are usually abundant and found within easy photo distance from the shore. From the lagoon we head a few kilometres out of Walvis Bay to the impressive Dune 7 where we can get a taste of the sand dune desert. Heading back to Swakopmund in the early afternoon we then take the main tar road back to Windhoek. We will have a light lunch en-route and on arrival in Windhoek you will be dropped off at your accommodation anywhere within the Windhoek city limits or the airport.
