Upon arrival at Hosea Kutako International Airport, you’ll be warmly welcomed and transferred to your hotel in Windhoek.

Take some time to relax and unwind after your journey, with the rest of the day at leisure. Depending on your arrival time, you can explore the city center or enjoy dinner at one of Windhoek’s local restaurants.

Today, we begin your journey into the heart of Namibia as we drive through the Khomas Highlands and scenic mountain passes to Sesriem.

In the late afternoon, we’ll visit Sesriem Canyon, a natural rock gorge carved by ancient floodwaters, offering a fascinating short hike. Enjoy dinner and sunset views from your desert lodge, as the skies begin to glow with stars in this remote, peaceful region. (Dinner included)

Rise early to climb the iconic Dune 45 at sunrise and take in the panoramic views over the world’s oldest desert.

We continue to the eerie white clay pan of Deadvlei, dotted with ancient, fossilized trees, surrounded by towering red dunes.

The day ends with a visit to the Sossusvlei salt pans or Big Daddy dune, followed by a hearty dinner back at the lodge. (Dinner included)

Those seeking a magical start can enjoy an optional sunrise hot air balloon ride over the glowing desert dunes. Optional

We then head to the coast, stopping at Walvis Bay Lagoon where you can observe flamingos, pelicans, and perhaps even dolphins.

In the afternoon, we arrive in Swakopmund for a short sightseeing tour and free time to enjoy the charming seaside town.

Departing Swakopmund, we head towards Etosha, one of Africa’s most famous national parks, arriving by midday.

After checking into your lodge, we enjoy our first game drive in the park, spotting zebras, elephants, and possibly lions. As the sun sets, relax at a waterhole near your lodge, where wildlife often comes to drink in the evening light.

We spend the day exploring Etosha on both morning and afternoon game drives, covering diverse areas of the park. Look out for large herds of antelope, elusive predators, and birdlife congregating around the salt pan and waterholes.

Optional: In the evening, you may choose to join an optional night safari for a chance to spot hyenas, owls, and other nocturnal creatures.

Enjoy a final morning safari en route to the southern exit gate, capturing last glimpses of Namibia’s spectacular wildlife.

We then drive back to Windhoek, stopping at craft markets in Okahandja where you can buy handmade souvenirs. Your tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel or Windhoek Airport in time for your onward travel.
