A warm welcome from our tour guide and welcome to Namibia!

Depart Windhoek and drive towards the coast. We visit a craft market in Okahandja and stop for a short lunch break (lunch at own expense en route in Karibib or Usakos). Enjoy Goanikontes and the Moon Valley, a barren, undulating rocky desert formed from the valleys of the Swakop River. Late afternoon arrival in Swakopmund, a pretty, old-fashioned beach resort. It is possible that you will meet other guests joining the trip in Swakopmund over dinner tonight.

Day 2:

Depart early in the morning and drive on the salt road past salt pans and large numbers of birds, towards Henties Bay and on into Damaraland, one of the most scenic areas in Namibia. We visit Twyfelfontein, site of ancient rock engravings, and the "Organ Pipes", a distinctive series of basalt columns that have been exposed by erosion over centuries. Arrive at your lodge in the late afternoon.

Day 3:

The morning is free to relax at the lodge until lunchtime. In the afternoon we take part in a sunset drive into the Aba Huab River valley, where with a bit of luck we may encounter desert elephants (seasonal). These elephants are not a special species, but African elephants that have made the Namib and Sahara deserts their home. Once widespread, they are now only found in Namibia and Mali.

Day 4:

After breakfast, we leave Damaraland and travel to Etosha National Park. On the way we visit a Damara village near Twyfelfontein, where you will learn more about the culture and traditions of this semi-nomadic people. Continue to the small town of Outjo for lunch (own expense). You may meet other guests who join the trip here. Arrival at our lodge in the immediate vicinity of Etosha National Park in the early afternoon and first game drive into the park in a closed touring vehicle.

Day 5:

Today is dedicated entirely to game viewing (in a closed touring vehicle). We explore the waterholes along the huge salt pan and stop at one of the rest camps for lunch (own expense).

There are almost 114 different species of mammals in Etosha, including the rare black-faced impala and the endangered black and white rhino.

The Etosha Pan (a shallow calcareous basin) only contains water after particularly good rains and sometimes only for a few days a year. But it is enough to stimulate the growth of blue-green algae, which attracts thousands of flamingos.
