From the capital city, drive down to the desert crossing dramatic landscapes to the Namib Naukluft area. Explore the orange dunes of Sossusvlei in this recently declared UNESCO World Heritage Site and visit Dead Vlei, where ancient skeletons of long dead camel thorn trees rest on the shimmering pan set against the backdrop of apricot dunes and blue sky – it’s a photographer’s delight and one of the most evocative desert sceneries in the world.
Drive over gravel plains and contrasting desert landscapes to the coast and port town of Walvis Bay where you can visit the lagoon with flamingos, pelicans and other water birds. Onward to the coastal town of Swakopmund, the rest of day is free to wander around the town with its colonial era buildings, and perhaps take advantage of one of the optional activities such as quad biking, scenic flight or sky dive!
Your destination today is the remarkable Etosha National Park where you’ll spend 2 nights in/around this premier park, one of the largest and best game reserves in Southern Africa. Game drive to your hearts content watching out for huge herds of antelope and plains game including springbok, wildebeest, zebra and giraffe, as well as elephant, rhino, hyena not forgetting of course, your search for big cats including lion, leopard and cheetah. The park itself is over 24,000sq km and at the heart of it lies Etosha Pan, a vast and ancient lake that dried leaving behind a salt depression where mirages now shimmer and spiralling dust devils rise.
Camping clients: a further night is spent on the east aspect of Etosha, giving you a chance to fully appreciate this remarkable park and enjoy further sightings
For accommodated clients: Leave Etosha behind and make your way south to Okonjima Reserve, home of the AfriCat Foundation. Take part in an afternoon activity to search for big cats at close quarters such as leopard, or find out about the conservation programme and learn about human–predator conflict and solutions, as well as seeing rehabilitated cheetah
Today return to Windhoek where you drop off vehicle and take onward connection.
