This morning you are collected by your guide and depart south to the Kalahari Desert, this fossil desert has grassy valleys, long linear orange dunes and desert–adapted game.

Day 2 Fish River Canyon

Heading further south visit Mesosaurus Fossil site and quiver trees – rather strange looking plants that are common in these parts but are in fact, one of the rarest flora species

Day 3 Luderitz

This morning takes us to the rocky landscapes of Fish River Canyon, reputed to the be second largest in the world, around 160km long and reaching depths of up to 550m. Take in the spectacular vistas and walk along the rim. From here we drive to Luderitz, located on the wild southern coastline with colonial–style buildings

Day 4 Klein Aus Vista

Perhaps join a marine cruise and look out for African penguins, as well as head out to Diaz Point, a cross paying homage to the Portuguese mariner Bartholomew Diaz and from here onward to Kolmanskop, now a ghost town where the sand has taken over the buildings, yet an eerie air remains. Kolmanskop was famous for its diamond rush in the 1920’s where gem–quality stones were picked from the ground and traded, it was home to the first x–ray machine in southern Africa, and a Miss Kolmanskop competition! All that remains today is a reminder of the past but the chance for great photos.

Day 5 Namib Naukluft National Park

Turning north we head deep into the ancient southern Namib, travelling on small gravel roads and passing some small rural tiny communities. Later this afternoon watch colours glow and change on distant mountains to the east.

Day 6 Namib Naukluft National Park

A pre–dawn start as we want to catch the soft light of the sunrise on the desert dunes. Landscape photo opportunities abound as perfect sculpted shadows are cast. We explore Dead Vlei, Sossusvlei and surrounds, along with a visit to famous Dune 45 before returning to base. A sort visit to nearby Sesriem Canyon is included.

After breakfast we make our way over the mountains and along the scenic roads returning to our start point – Windhoek and for a night in the capital city

Day 8 Okonjima Campsite

We leave the capital city in our wake heading north, stopping at Okahandja to try our hand at bartering for wooden curios, and arrive at our destination later in the afternoon. There’s a chance to join an optional activity – perhaps find out about the AfriCat Foundation programme and learn about conservation of predators in Namibia

Day 9&10 Etosha National Park

Two nights are spent in the magnificent Etosha National Park and this unique game park offers some of the best game viewing in all Africa. We will head out for game drives and spend our evenings at the abundant waterholes hoping to see some of the 114 species of animals that thrive here.

We continue our game drives further and exit the park. There’s a chance to meet with some of the local Himba, one of Namibia’s famous tribes, we will be able to find a little as how they survive in today’s modern world finding out about marriage customs, traditional food and more, these proud women cover themselves in ochre and butterfat and their hair styles indicate their status, the women tend to the children and village, whilst the men look after the livestoclk, continuing onto camp arriving in the afternoon

Day 12 Damaraland
