Depart Windhoek and drive towards Spitzkoppe, a stunning granite peak often referred to as the "Matterhorn of Namibia." We will stop for for lunch at a scenic viewpoint en route. Arrive at Spitzkoppe and set up camp amongst the massive boulders and beautiful scenery. Take a guided hike to view ancient rock engravings and the famous Bushman paintings in the area. Gather around the campfire for dinner, where your guide will share captivating stories about the San people’s history and their connection to the land. Learn about the stars above and their significance in local culture.

Breakfast at the campsite and enjoy the breath-taking sunrise over Spitzkoppe. Depart and head towards Swakopmund, a charming coastal town. Arrive in Swakopmund, check into your accommodation at the coast. Free time for optional activities like sandboarding, quad biking, or visiting the Swakopmund Museum

A leisurely breakfast at our hotel before heading off along the coastal road, the Skeleton Coast with the Atlantic on one side with gravel plains on the other - you'll get a good idea of how those shipwrecked along our shores felt - a barren inhospitable area. A short detour will take us to one of the largest cape fur seal colonies, nothing can quite prepare you for the smell of thousands of seals, the visit is well worth it though.

We turn inland making our way to the settlement of Uis, once a thriving tin mine there are a number of hardy souls that have kept this town going. Passing the Brandberg mountain we wend out way through Damaraland to arrive in the Twyfelfontein area. A community region with its ephemeral rivers and wonderful rock formations you may get to see desert adapted elephant walking the riverbeds alongside donkeys and goats.

Our adventures take us through the communal and farmlands of Damaraland, heading due north to Etosha National Park. On the way we'll stop in at a Himba Village before arriving at the Galton Gate, from here we game drive our way to our campsite. This vast area of western Etosha used to be restricted to visitors and was opened up in 2014. This terrain is rugged and hilly, quite different from the rest of the park. Our campsite has a state of the art double story hide overlooking a manmade waterhole - sit back, relax and watch nature unfold around you.

The best time for game viewing is early morning and late afternoon - a morning visit to the waterhole at camp before packing up camp and heading further into Etosha, keep those binoculars and cameras ready! We aim to camp at Okaukuejo Resort, should this not be possible then we will overnight at Etosha Omusati Lodge instead.

The vastness of Etosha National Park truly hits you when you travel from the southern part to the far eastern section. We navigate smaller roads, moving from one waterhole to another, aiming to spot as many animals as we can throughout the day. Patience and a bit of luck enhance this thrilling wildlife experience. By late afternoon, we arrive at our campsite. After a day filled with photography, you’ll have the chance to review and possibly share your pictures. During dinner, our guide/s generously share their extensive knowledge, revealing many insights that you won’t find in any travel guide, drawn from their personal experiences.

Our journey back to Windhoek takes us through the mining town of Tsumeb and onward through the farmlands towards Okahandja

Here, we can stop at a wood carving market to pick up some last-minute souvenirs or keepsakes. We arrive in Windhoek in the early afternoon.
