Arrival in Windhoek

Upon arrival at the airport, we will be met and transferred to Windhoek. Our accommodation provides the perfect place to relax and unwind after the long flight. The remainder of the day is at leisure. Depending on our arrival time, we may choose to enjoy the pool or gardens, or head into Windhoek for a first glimpse of Namibia's capital. In the evening, we can round off the day with a relaxed dinner or a drink.

Sesriem / Sossusvlei

After breakfast, we continue our drive towards the Namib Desert via the scenic Tsaris Pass. Along the way, wide open plains, isolated mountains, dry riverbeds and the first red sand dunes provide a glimpse of the landscapes that await us over the coming days. Our lodge is surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the desert and offers an ideal base for exploring the area. After checking in, there is time to relax, take a walk or simply soak up the tranquillity and endless views across the Namib.

To Swakopmund

Today we leave the Namib Desert behind and travel over the Gaub and Kuiseb Passes towards Namibia's Atlantic coast. The route takes us through wide desert landscapes where, with a bit of luck, we may spot ostriches, oryx, springbok or zebras along the way. By the afternoon, we arrive in the coastal town of Swakopmund, known for its blend of German colonial architecture and seaside charm. The rest of the day is at leisure. We may choose to stroll along the promenade, explore the town or enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants.

Erongo Mountains

Today we leave the Atlantic coast behind and make our way to the Erongo Mountains. Along the route, we catch sight of the striking Spitzkoppe, often referred to as Namibia's Matterhorn because of its distinctive shape. The Erongo Mountains are known for their impressive granite boulders, unusual rock formations and diverse plant and animal life. After arriving at our lodge, there is time to explore the area on foot or simply relax and take in the peaceful surroundings.

Damaraland / Etosha National Park

(Silver) Today we head out in search of Damaraland's famous desert-adapted elephants. Accompanied by an experienced guide, we explore the dry riverbeds of the Huab and Aba-Huab in an open safari vehicle. These unique river systems not only offer the chance of encountering these remarkable animals but also showcase beautiful desert scenery, towering camelthorn trees and a surprising variety of wildlife. A memorable day in one of Namibia's most unspoilt regions.

(Gold) Today is dedicated to wildlife viewing in Etosha National Park. One of Africa's most celebrated wildlife reserves, the park is famous for its network of waterholes, where a wide variety of animals gather throughout the year. We can explore the park at our own pace or join an optional guided game drive offered by the lodge. With a little luck, we may encounter elephants, lions, giraffes, rhinos and many other species.

Etosha National Park / Okonjima

(Silver) Another exciting day awaits in Etosha National Park. We have plenty of time to explore the central part of the park and visit a variety of waterholes, where wildlife gathers throughout the day. With a little luck, we may encounter elephants, giraffes, zebras, oryx, wildebeest, springbok, kudu and perhaps even lions or leopards. Every game drive offers something different, making each visit to Etosha a unique experience.

(Gold) After breakfast, we leave Etosha National Park and travel south to the Okonjima Nature Reserve. This private reserve is well known for its conservation work and excellent wildlife experiences. Depending on the activities included with your stay, you may join a guided excursion during the afternoon, offering fascinating insights into Namibia's wildlife and the reserve's ongoing conservation efforts.

Okonjima / Windhoek & Surrounds

(Silver) After breakfast, we leave Etosha National Park behind and travel south to the Okonjima Nature Reserve. Nestled among the Omboroko Mountains, this private reserve is internationally recognised for its conservation work and outstanding wildlife experiences. After lunch, we join a guided activity, with the opportunity to learn more about the reserve and, with a little luck, encounter some of its fascinating wildlife.

(Gold) Our Namibian holiday is gradually drawing to a close. We drive back to Windhoek, return our rental vehicle to Namibia Individual Travel, and are then transferred to our lodge just outside the city. Set within a private nature reserve, it offers a peaceful setting to enjoy our final hours in Namibia. Depending on our arrival time, there may be an opportunity to join an activity or simply relax before enjoying a leisurely final dinner.
