Itinerary

Windhoek to Walvis Bay

The tour begins this morning at your hotel or guesthouse. The first stop is Daan Viljoen Game Reserve, west of Windhoek, offering excellent dry-country birding. From there, the journey descends the escarpment and crosses the stunning Namib Desert plains. Arriving in Walvis Bay by late afternoon, you'll settle into a well-located accommodation before heading to the renowned Walvis Bay Lagoon for afternoon birdwatching. The evening concludes with dinner at a quality local restaurant.

Swakopmund and Damaraland

After an early breakfast at the lodge, the morning is dedicated to finding the Dune Lark. The journey then continues north to Damaraland, passing the iconic Spitzkoppe in the distance. Damaraland’s plains host unique bird species and desert-adapted wildlife such as African Elephant, Black Rhinoceros, and Lion, thriving against all odds in this harsh environment. By late afternoon, arrival is expected at a lodge near the Huab River, close to the towering Brandberg, Namibia’s highest peak.

The lodge, nestled among the rocks, offers a perfect setting to conclude the tour. The evening includes dinner, updating bird lists, and relaxing on the deck with stunning views.
