Detailed Itinerary:

Day 1  Windhoek

Upon arrival at the airport, you will be collected and transferred to your accommodation in the city, depending on time of arrival, perhaps join optional 3hour City and Township Tour, or relax around the pool

Day 2&3  Dead Valley Lodge

Departing Windhoek our first two nights are spent at Dead Valley Lodge inside the Namib Naukluft National Park home to the spectacular Sossusvlei – enjoy a guided tour exploring the towering and iconic red dunes in one of the world’s oldest and most arid regions. Climb a dune surrounding Sossusvlei and experience the ancient skeletal trees in Dead Vlei with its shimmering white pan with back–drop of apricot sand dunes and blue sky

Day 4& 5  The Delight, Swakopmund

Today, we explore the ice–blue Atlantic coast, from the port town of Walvis Bay and lagoon area before continuing to Swakopmund where your guide will take you on a short tour of the town.  Day 5 is free to explore the town further or join an optional activity such as a marine cruise, half day Sandwich Harbour trip, or one of the many adventurous activities available. Perhaps head to some of the nearby curio shops to buy gifts for loved ones at home

Day 6&7 Twyfelfontein Adventure Camp, Damaraland

Continuing our journey, we head to the remote and unimaginable vastness of Damaraland where we are based in a private area around Damaraland in the heart of a rocky desert and part of an ancient glacial landscape. Our two nights are spent in an adventurer camp amongst spectacular scenery visiting Twyfelfontein rock etchings and heading into the nearby dry river bed on a nature drive to search for desert elephant.

Day 8 Okaukuejo Resort NWR, Etosha National Park

Today make our way to way to Etosha National park entering via Galton Gate and game driving across the park to Okaukuejo enjoying spotting of the animals and the changing terrain from rocky hills to savannah, woodland and open plains arriving late afternoon.  This evening there is time to enjoy the floodlit waterhole.

Day 9 Onguma Private Reserve, Etosha National Park

Game drive across the park to the east aspect, maximizing our chances for amazing wildlife sightings as we head to the east of Etosha enabling us to experience a variety of habitats and the chance to spot more animals, stopping from waterhole to waterhole (these are more active in winter months), as they support a rich diversity of animals.
These waterholes are one of the most unique aspects of Etosha National Park, and a major attraction for wildlife photographers and animal behaviour experts as the different species of animals, both predator and prey alike, can often be captured (on camera) drinking at the same waterhole, depart later in the afternoon and turn into Onguma Reserve, which borders Etosha via Fischers Pan

Day 10 Windhoek – End of safari

After an early breakfast this morning we head out onto the reserve on our last game drive, joining an Onguma ranger in an open vehicle.  Onguma covers 34,000 hectares of Namibian wilderness & is home to numerous plains game, more than 300 bird species , and even 4 of the Big 5. Lions and Cheetahs are frequently seen and often heard and there is a healthy black rhino, leopard, and hyena population so you never know what we might spot. Return to Windhoek arriving later in the afternoon.

How we rate our safaris

Namibia, Botswana and some other African destinations do not have a set star system that is familiar worldwide to many countries, however, as this is widely used, we have tried to replicate this format to give you an idea of the level of comfort during your safari. For example, a mobile camping tour in Namibia is given 1* and luxury accommodation increasing to 5*. Depending on your tour, there may be a bit of a mix of levels of comfort so please check if you are not sure.

1* or 1–2* Rated Safaris – Camping tours:

These are generally scheduled/small group or self–drive safaris (though a private–guided safari can also fall into this category if you wish to camp); the scheduled trips generally involve client participation where you may be expected to put up/take down your tent and assist with camp chores, dome tents and a ground mattress is supplied. For self–drive options this will often mean roof tents on the vehicle and all camping equipment. There may be the occasional night in simple accommodation but majority of nights are spent camping and most camp sites will have shared ablution facilities. If there is a good mix of both camping and accommodation, this may be rated at 1&2*. These are the most basic level of safaris offered and scheduled safari group sizes vary according to the trip and company – 1* tours are the most affordable option and geared for adventurous travellers who do not mind a bit of discomfort.

Accommodated Safaris

Standard/Mid–range safaris 2–3.5*

Standard accommodation style trips generally have no camping included (though on occasion with a specific activity such as a Delta or Serengeti excursion, or perhaps hiking, a couple of nights may be included). As a general rule this is not the case. With most small group/scheduled tours accommodation is generally 2/3* level – clean and affordable but generally without too many frills; rooms will have en–suite facilities, most will offer air con/fans in the rooms, swimming pools etc (not guaranteed), restaurant/bar facilities, though location can be a little further away from main place of interest this option offers excellent value for money for those seeking a bed each night! We try to indicate on each trip the level of comfort for the particular tour

Superior/Luxury Safaris 3.5–5*

A superior style of accommodation. Most lodges at this level will have air–conditioning or fans in the room though some accommodation establishments are technically “camps” as they may be partially build of canvas – these “camps” are permanent fixtures, generally built on a platform, and will have full and comfortable facilities – the occasional trip may have a more basic night or two involved depending on location to ensure clients can fully appreciate the region they are experiencing. Service is generally very good and most places (outside of towns/cities) will have just a few rooms/chalets. Tours in this bracket include very small group safaris (up to 8 clients), self–drive and private–guided options which are tailored to suit you. The luxury options offer a high standard of accommodation, facilities and service in the region with attention to detail – some “camps” /lodges will have private guides and vehicles, but all accommodation is the best available with personalized service and a quality or unique experience perhaps unavailable elsewhere or in a more moderate price bracket. Tours include fly–in safaris, self–drive and private–guided options.

Please note: this is a guideline only and each destination can vary – some areas in Southern Africa do not always have 5* accommodation (there are limited hotels outside of cities that have the same * grading accommodation) but will be best in the area, have limited volume of rooms and some of the best locations and experiences for clients that is outside of the normal “tourist/travel” route. This can include exclusive conservation regions and emphasis is place on clients having a unique experience rather than offering hairdresser type of facilities that may be found is hotels in cities in other countries. Please also remember that some of these locations can be remote so wifi may not always be available, nor a huge menu range.
