After lunch and some coastal sightseeing, check in at your guesthouse or hotel. The rest of the day is free to explore Swakopmund’s cafes, beachfront, and German colonial architecture before dinner.

Optional Activities in Swakopmund

This day is reserved for optional excursions. Activities include quad biking on the dunes, skydiving, dolphin cruises, sandboarding, visiting the Snake Park or Marine Aquarium, and exploring the “Lunar Landscape.” Alternatively, enjoy local culture on a Mondesa township tour or relax with a walk along the oceanfront. Meals are on your own today.

Rock Art & Optional Cultural Visit

In the morning, visit Twyfelfontein, home to hundreds of ancient San rock engravings. After lunch, enjoy optional visits to the Damara Living Museum, Organ Pipes, and Burnt Mountain. These cultural and geological wonders offer insight into both the land’s natural history and its people. Return to your lodge for a relaxing dinner.

Full Day Etosha Safari

Set off early for a full day of game drives across Etosha’s vast salt pans and wildlife-rich waterholes. Keep an eye out for the Big Five, cheetahs, hyenas, and rare antelope species. Stop for a picnic lunch in the park and continue your safari into the afternoon. Return to camp for dinner and stargazing.

More Etosha Exploration

Another full day of wildlife viewing awaits. Visit different waterholes and regions within the park to spot species not yet seen.
