Tour step

Day 1
Guests are picked up from their accommodation in Windhoek or the airport for the journey to the coast. The cool and often misty town of Swakopmund, which lies between the crashing Atlantic Ocean and the Namib Desert, is a charming village offering numerous excursions and action-adventure activities. Old German architecture, wide streets, and a plethora of restaurants, coffee shops, and souvenir shops make this coastal town a joy to explore. The Delight Hotel is a fresh breeze in the desert, providing a delightful home for your stay in Swakopmund. Driving time: 5 hours. Mid-range hotel located in Swakopmund (City) Meals at own expense Drinks not included
Day 2
A highlight of a stay at The Delight is its delicious breakfast spread. Pour yourself a glass of champagne and freshly squeezed orange juice and savour Walvis Bay oysters before heading off to explore the town. Otherwise, you can choose an activity or an excursion. Swakopmund is the adventure capital of Namibia, and excursions range from Living Desert tours, kayaking in the Walvis Bay lagoon and dolphin cruises to sandboarding, quad-biking, and skydiving. Take your pick, or just relax, ending the day in one of Swakopmund’s popular restaurants. Mid-range hotel located in Swakopmund (City) Breakfast (Lunch & dinner not included) Drinks not included
Day 3
After your day of fun and exploration, we continue northwards to Henties Bay along the coast before veering inland towards Uis and the Brandberg massif. As you near the Ugab River, look out for the striking Herero women with colourful stalls. The next stop is the Petrified Forest, a testament to the Earth’s intriguing geological history. Your overnight stop, Damara Mopane Lodge, is 30km east of Khorixas. Built in a semi-circular labyrinth design with a turquoise pool at its centre, the lodge is a lovely surprise. Each chalet has its very own garden with fresh vegetables, sunflowers and the occasional scarecrow peeking out. Stroll up the koppie in the late afternoon to watch the sunset and appreciate the expansive view over the mopane woodland before the inviting aromas of dinner call you back to the lodge. Driving time: 4 hours. Mid-range lodge located inside Damaraland Breakfast & dinner (Lunch not included) Drinks not included
Day 4
Damaraland Rock Art is on the agenda today with a visit to Twyfelfontein, home to a treasure trove of ancient rock engravings. The area was once visited by groups of hunters and gatherers, who congregated at the rock pools in the dry season. Their shamans beseeched the gods for rain, healing for their people and luck for the hunt, hammering their prayers into the sandstone rock. The dry desert environment has preserved these engravings for thousands of years. Other geological stops include the Organ Pipes and the Burnt Mountain. For some local culture, you’ll visit the Damara Living Museum. Do not miss the afternoon walk to the sunset deck for a sundowner drink and an exceptional view of the landscape. Mid-range lodge located inside Damaraland Breakfast & dinner (Lunch not included) Drinks not included
Day 5
Today, we travel into the heart of the country, Etosha National Park, via Outjo, making it in time for an afternoon game drive in the park. Experience the bounty of this wildlife haven before returning to Etosha Safari Camp for supper. This relaxed and down-to-earth camp has a quirky restaurant based on the shebeens (taverns) of old. Musicians strum guitars in the courtyard and sing local tunes while the guests relish the excellent fare. Tap your toes and sing along at this lively, fun venue before returning by starlight to your comfortable room and the peace of an Etosha night. Please note: Etosha park fees will be charged locally. Driving time: 2 hours. Mid-range lodge located just outside Etosha NP Breakfast & dinner (Lunch not included) Drinks not included
Day 6
Explore Etosha and its many waterholes where the wildlife gathers to slake its thirst. Every season has its own beauty in this special conservation area. The full-day drive allows you to view the array of sleek African wildlife in its natural surroundings. Return in the afternoon to the friendliness of Etosha Safari Camp for your last night of the tour. Mid-range lodge located just outside Etosha NP Breakfast & dinner (Lunch not included) Drinks not included
