Highlights of Namibia
Itinerary
Arrival in Windhoek
After your arrival at the airport in Windhoek, you will be warmly welcomed and taken directly to your hotel. You will spend the first night in the capital of Namibia. This gives you plenty of time to arrive and explore the city. Take the opportunity to visit museums, go to the markets or go on a city tour to familiarise yourself not only with the sights but also with the moving history of the city.
Sossusvlei
Your Namibia trip begins today. You make your way south-west to the Namib-Naukluft National Park, where you will spend two nights in a luxurious lodge. Look forward to one of the scenic highlights of this trip - endless red sand dunes stretching out before you with illustrious names such as Big Mama and Big Daddy. Explore the dunes of Sossusvlei and marvel at the weathered trees in Deadvlei, which have stood here for centuries. Take a hike in the Sesriem Canyon, climb Dune 45 and end your last evening with a picturesque sunset.
Swakopmund
You continue your journey through the fascinating desert landscape to Swakopmund. This multicultural town, situated on the Namibian South Atlantic coast, gained historical significance during the German colonial administration and served as an important harbour for immigrants from Germany. Stroll through the small town and discover relics from the colonial era, such as German street names and cafés. There are numerous excursion options in and around Swakopmund. Take a boat trip to Walvis Bay, about 30 kilometres south along the Atlantic coast, and with a bit of luck spot seals and dolphins. Paddle a kayak in a lagoon on the southern edge of the town and marvel at the diverse birdlife. Sandboarding on the dunes is available for those who prefer something a little more adrenaline-fuelled. And for the more adventurous travellers, there is the option of going to dizzying heights and experiencing Swakopmund from a bird's eye view with a parachute jump
Damaraland
Today you continue your journey northwards to Damaraland. In the Twyfelfontein Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can marvel at the impressive rock paintings, which are estimated to be between 2,500 and 6,000 years old. For an insight into the traditional culture and way of life of the Damara, an indigenous population group in Namibia, we recommend a visit to the Damara Living Museum.
Ongava Private Game Reserve
The opportunity to see wild animals such as elephants, rhinos and lions in their natural habitat is undoubtedly a dream of many people. With a bit of luck, you will have the opportunity to experience this dream up close in the coming days. You will spend two nights in the Ongava Game Reserve, one of the largest and most exclusive game reserves, which is located in the middle of the hills on the southern border of the Etosha National Park. In addition to game drives in the private reserve or in the neighbouring Etosha National Park, you will have the opportunity to go on nature walks or take part in rhino tracking.
Onguma Private Game Reserve
To experience the breathtaking diversity of Namibia to the full, you will spend the next three nights in the Onguma Game Reserve. This reserve is located on the less frequented eastern side of the Etosha National Park and is characterised by its tranquillity, romance and sense of adventure. It also offers fantastic opportunities to spot a variety of wildlife, including giraffes, zebras and big cats such as cheetahs and leopards. Start your day with a view of a waterhole, go on exciting game drives or bush walks and enjoy the picturesque sunsets.
Okojima Private Game Reserve
Today you set off for the last stop on your Namibia tour. You will spend two nights in the Okonjima Nature Reserve. Here you have the opportunity to relax or take part in one of the activities on offer. One special opportunity is to go in search of leopards and, with a bit of luck, observe these majestic animals at close range. You can also explore the bush on foot and take part in special predator spotting sessions.
Enjoy your time before returning to Windhoek airport for your journey home.
Farewell
Today it's time to say goodbye. You return to the airport , hand-over the rental car and fly back home.
