Detailed Itinerary

Grouptour “Highlights of Namibia”

Day 1

Windhoek

Welcome to the wild heart of Namibia.

Upon your arrival at the international airport near Windhoek, your driver will be waiting to warmly greet you – your adventure begins now!

 

Your journey kicks off with a scenic drive to the charming Auas Safari Lodge, nestled in the tranquil landscapes just outside Windhoek. Here, you’ll enjoy a relaxed Meet & Greet, where the entire trip will be discussed in detail and you’ll receive all your travel documents – everything you need to feel fully prepared for the journey ahead.

 

Later in the afternoon, your first exciting activity awaits: an unforgettable game drive through stunning scenery. With a bit of luck, you might even spot some of Africa’s majestic wildlife! In the evening, the group gathers for a delicious welcome dinner at the lodge’s restaurant – a perfect start to your unforgettable Namibian adventure!

 

Included: Airport Transfer, Dinner, water during the journey

Day 2

Kalahari North

Off to the Kalahari. The journey continues.

After a hearty breakfast, we set off toward the beautiful Kalahari Desert – a dreamlike landscape of red-gold sand, gentle dunes, and endless skies. Our destination is the welcoming Kalahari Anib Lodge, a peaceful retreat nestled in the heart of this striking region.

 

In the afternoon, an exciting game drive awaits. As the sun begins to set and bathes the savannah in golden light, we venture out in search of oryx, springbok, and perhaps even a jackal – the Kalahari reveals its wild and romantic soul!

 

Included: Accommodation, Breakfast, Lunch Pack, Dinner, water during the journey

Day 3

Namib Desert

Journey to the World’s Oldest Desert. The Namib is calling!

After a hearty breakfast, we continue our adventure – this time heading toward the legendary Namib Desert, the oldest desert on Earth. Our route takes us through Mariental and Maltahöhe, passing dramatic desert landscapes that seem like scenes from another planet.

 

Along the way, your driver will gladly stop for photo opportunities, allowing you to capture the vast beauty of Namibia’s wilderness. Around midday, we’ll enjoy delicious lunch packs, perhaps with a stunning desert backdrop. In the afternoon, we arrive at our beautiful lodge, offering peace, comfort, and sweeping views. The rest of the day is yours – why not unwind with a cool drink by the pool, soaking in the serenity?

 

For the more adventurous, a short hike in the late afternoon is a wonderful way to experience the landscape up close. With a bit of luck, you might even spot graceful desert antelopes moving through the distance. In the evening, we gather for a shared dinner at the lodge’s restaurant, where the view is as breathtaking as the food – and the sky is lit with a thousand stars.

 

Included: Accommodation, Breakfast, Lunch Pack, Dinner, water during the journey

Day 4

Sossusvlei

Day trip to the World-Famous Red Dunes of Sossusvlei. 

We set out early in the morning, before sunrise to witness the Namib Desert bathed in the soft, golden light of dawn. It’s a magical time when the landscape comes alive in color and contrast. Our first stop is Sesriem, the gateway to the breathtaking Namib-Naukluft National Park. The gates open with the rising sun, welcoming us into a world of sand and silence.

 

A narrow tar road leads us past a surreal panorama of towering dunes and vast desert plains, taking us to the iconic Sossusvlei and the hauntingly beautiful Deadvlei. Here, we begin a roughly 1.5 km walk across sun-baked clay pans and soft dunes. At the end lies a scene like no other: the skeletal remains of ancient camelthorn trees, standing for centuries under the desert sun – stark, silent, and stunning. These blackened tree trunks set against the white pan and red dunes have become one of Namibia’s most iconic images. A day that etches itself into memory.

 

Included activity: Excursion to Sossusvlei, Deadvlei and Sesriem Canyon, including park fees.
Included: Accommodation, Breakfast, Lunch Pack, Dinner, water during the journey

Day 5

Swakopmund

Journey to the Wild Atlantic – Across the Heart of the Namib.

Today’s route takes you on a spectacular journey – from the golden sands of the desert to the wild shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, the Namib reveals its many faces: serene, rugged, vast, and endlessly fascinating. You’ll pass through dramatic mountain ranges, glowing red dunes, and the breathtaking Gaub and Kuiseb Canyons, eventually reaching the barren plains of the western Namib, where the scenery becomes almost otherworldly.

 

On particularly hot days, you might witness the shimmering illusion of a mirage, with distant pools of water seeming to float just above the horizon. With keen eyes, you’ll likely spot typical desert wildlife along the way: elegant oryx, quick-footed springbok, proud ostriches, and – if luck is on your side – perhaps even a giraffe strolling calmly across the arid plains. A journey through one of Africa’s most awe-inspiring landscapes, all the way to the untamed ocean.

 

Included: Accommodation, Breakfast, Lunch Pack, Dinner, water during the journey

Day 6

Swakopmund

A Day of Discovery: The “Little 5” or a Marine Adventure with Seals & Dolphins.

Today, you have the chance to choose between two extraordinary experiences – a thrilling Living Desert Tour or a relaxing boat safari to visit the seals of Walvis Bay. Please note: These activities must be booked in advance.

 

Living Desert Tour – The Small Wonders of the Namib
At 08:00 AM, you’ll be picked up directly from your hotel. A 4×4 adventure takes you into the dune belt south of Swakopmund, in search of the elusive “Little 5”: geckos, snakes, chameleons, spiders, and other desert survivors – all masters of camouflage and adaptation. With expert guidance, you’ll uncover the secrets of the fragile dune ecosystem, gaining a deep appreciation for the hidden life beneath the sand.

 

Marine Dolphin & Seal Cruise – With Oysters and Sparkling Wine
Alternatively, embark on an unforgettable boat safari: Early in the morning, you’ll be picked up at your hotel reception and taken to the harbor in Walvis Bay. A luxurious catamaran awaits, ready to take you along the lagoon toward Pelican Point, home to a large seal colony. On the way, you may be joined by playful bottlenose and Heaviside dolphins, while Cape fur seals swim up close to the boat. Sip on a glass of sparkling wine and savor fresh Walvis Bay oysters as you drift through this coastal paradise. You’ll return to Swakopmund around midday with memories to last a lifetime.

 

Included Activity: 1x activity (Living Desert Tour or Boat Tour)
Included: Accommodation, Breakfast, Lunch Pack, Dinner, water during the journey

Day 7

Twyfelfontein

From the Atlantic to the Heart of Damaraland – Tracing Ancient Cultures.

Today, we say goodbye to the cool Atlantic coast as the journey takes us inland to the remote and mystical Damaraland. From Swakopmund, we travel north along the rugged shoreline to Henties Bay, then head inland across ever-changing landscapes. Along the way, you’ll pass Namibia’s highest peak – the majestic Brandberg Mountain. Its name, “Fire Mountain,” comes from the way it glows red at sunset, as if the last rays of light set the rock ablaze. A breathtaking moment.

 

In the afternoon, you’ll arrive at Twyfelfontein, a place steeped in history and wonder. If you wish, you can join your guide for an optional excursion to see the famous rock engravings – ancient petroglyphs left behind by indigenous hunter-gatherers thousands of years ago. Also worth visiting are the Organ Pipes, a fascinating natural rock formation of vertical basalt columns that look almost man-made in their symmetry.

 

Please note: Entrance fees to these sites are not included in the tour price and must be paid locally. Your guide will be happy to help with the arrangements.

 

Included: Accommodation, Breakfast, Lunch Pack, Dinner, water during the journey

Day 8

Twyfelfontein

In Search of Desert Elephants.

You’ll have the opportunity to explore the captivating surroundings of Twyfelfontein, a place where ancient history meets raw natural beauty. Marvel at the thousands of years old rock engravings, etched into stone by early hunter-gatherers. Discover the stunning Organ Pipes, a natural formation of vertical basalt columns, and visit the mysterious Burnt Mountain, whose dark, shimmering rocks look as though they were scorched by ancient fire.

 

But perhaps the day’s most unforgettable moment comes when you least expect it: the sighting of the famous desert-adapted elephants. With a bit of luck, you’ll encounter these magnificent creatures – true survivors that have adapted to the harsh conditions of the Damaraland. A day filled with ancient stories, natural wonders, and unforgettable encounters awaits you.

 

Please note: Entrance fees to these sites are not included in the tour price and must be paid locally. Your guide will be happy to help with the arrangements.

 

Included Activity: Desert safari in search of the desert-adapted elephants.
Included: Accommodation, Breakfast, Lunch Pack, Dinner, water during the journey

Day 9

Etosha South

Namibia’s Petrified Forest. On the Road to Etosha’s Wildlife

Your journey leads you north toward one of Namibia’s crown jewels – the Etosha National Park. But before the wildlife adventure begins, there’s a geological wonder waiting to be discovered: Namibia’s Petrified Forest.

 

As you pass through this region, you’ll stop to explore massive, fossilized tree trunks, lying silent in the desert soil. These ancient giants, once part of a prehistoric forest, have turned to stone over millions of years preserved by time, pressure, and mineral-rich waters. A brief stop here allows you to take in this incredible glimpse into Earth’s deep past.

 

In the afternoon, you’ll arrive at your lodge, peacefully located near the southern entrance of Etosha National Park. The rest of the day is yours: relax at the lodge, enjoy the surroundings, or join an optional afternoon game drive organized by the lodge. The wild heart of Etosha is now just around the corner.

 

Included Activity: Visit to the Petrified Forest
Included: Accommodation, Breakfast, Lunch Pack, Dinner, water during the journey

Day 10

Etosha South

A Full Day in Etosha National Park – Pure Wilderness

Today you have a full day to explore the legendary Etosha National Park from your base at Okaukuejo Lodge. Be sure to have your binoculars ready, as the early morning and late afternoon are the best times to spot wildlife. You’ll visit several watering holes around the vast salt pan, where elephants, lions, rhinos, giraffes, and many other animals gather to drink and socialize.

 

The African wilderness reveals its incredible diversity here – patience and attentiveness will be richly rewarded. As the day winds down, you can enjoy the breathtaking sunset at the Okaukuejo waterhole, watching animals settle for the night while the landscape is bathed in golden hues. A day filled with adventure, tranquility, and nature’s wonders – a true highlight of your journey!

 

Included Activity: Full-day safari through Etosha National Park, including park fees.
Included: Accomodation, Breakfast, lunch pack, dinner, water during the journey.

Day 11

Onguma Game Reserve

Onguma Nature Reserve: Safari through the Heart of Etosha.

After a hearty breakfast, your safari adventure begins early today. We enter Etosha National Park again through the Andersson Gate. From Okaukuejo, we drive along the southern edge of the vast salt pan, a favorite area for wildlife. Thanks to the open, sparse vegetation, animals can often be spotted from a great distance here. This is a magical place where the vastness of Africa truly comes alive.

 

At midday, we stop at the Halali rest camp for a well-deserved break and some relaxation. Next, we visit the historic old German Fort Namutoni, a fascinating relic from Namibia’s colonial past. For the protection of wildlife, we must leave the park by sunset at the latest. Awaiting you on the eastern side is a beautiful lodge – a perfect sanctuary after a day full of wild encounters.

 

Included Activity: Full-day safari through Etosha National Park, including park fees and a sundowner drive in the game reserve.
Included: Accommodation, Breakfast, Lunch Pack, Dinner, water during the journey

Day 12

Mount Etjo Sanctuary

The Fascinating Wildlife of Mount Etjo. Optional Lion Feeding.

After breakfast, you’ll travel along well-maintained tar and gravel roads to the breathtaking Mount Etjo Safari Lodge, located in a vast private game reserve. The area is home to a wide range of Southern Africa’s iconic wildlife from zebras to rhinos. The lodge is beautifully set by a small lake, inhabited by hippos, and regularly visited by other animals coming to drink – a truly magical sight.

 

Optional: In the evening, you may choose to attend the lion feeding – a powerful experience that brings you close to Africa’s most iconic big cat (can be booked on-site, not included in the tour price).

 

En Route: The Mysterious Otjikoto Lake
Along the way, your driver may take a detour to Lake Otjikoto – one of Namibia’s only permanent natural lakes, formed by the collapse of a limestone cave. Mysterious and deep, it’s steeped in both natural wonder and wartime legend. With a diameter of over 100 meters and depths reaching more than 100 meters, the lake became a WWI dumping ground for German Schutztruppe weapons. Some of these artifacts have been recovered and are displayed in the Tsumeb Museum, but others, including two cannons and tons of ammunition, remain submerged. Legend even tells of a sealed safe containing 6 million gold marks, thrown into the lake and never found…

 

Included: Accommodation, Breakfast, Lunch Pack, Dinner, water during the journey

Day 13

Mount Etjo Sanctuary

Your final day at Mount Etjo Safari Lodge.

Enjoy your final day in Namibia surrounded by the tranquil beauty of Mount Etjo Safari Lodge. Unwind by the pool, watch wildlife at the nearby waterhole, or simply soak in the African atmosphere with a good book in hand. If you’re feeling active, the lodge offers optional activities such as guided nature walks and birdwatching.

 

For one last adventure, consider joining an optional afternoon game drive through the private reserve. With a bit of luck, you might spot elephants, giraffes, or even a lion, as your journey draws to a spectacular close.

 

Included: Accommodation, Breakfast, Lunch Pack, Dinner, water during the journey

Day 14

Windhoek and surroundings

Farewell from the Land of Adventure.

One last chance to feel the heartbeat of Africa? For the early risers, there’s an optional guided safari this morning, a final brush with the wild before we return to the comforts of the city (not inclusicve). Afterward, we head back to Windhoek, arriving around midday. There, your driver will take you to a charming restaurant where you can relax and reflect on the memories made during your journey.
