Itinerary

Day1: Okonjima Nature Reserve

Etosha

Pick up departure from Windhoek, we stop briefly at the Okahandja Wood carving markets. Woodcarvers from all over Namibia come here to sell their hand-crafted goods and this is the perfect opportunity to practice our haggling skills all while supporting the local community. Our next stop is our overnight destination, the world renowned Okonjima Nature Reserve. Okonjima is an impressive 20,000ha nature reserve which is home to an incredible array of wildlife species.

Day2: Okaukuejo, Etosha

Etosha

We depart from camp after breakfast and stop briefly at Otjiwarongo, a small town north of Okonjima to gather some fresh supplies, before continuing on to Etosha National Park, one of Southern Africa’s premier wildlife reserves. Upon entering the gate, we start our search for antelope, such as springbok and impala and with any luck some megaherbivores such as elephant, rhino or giraffe, on our short game drive to Okaukuejo. We set up camp and enjoy a delicious lunch, afternoon game drive.

Day3: Okaukuejo, Etosha

Etosha

Full day game drive at sunrise to have any chance of catching a glimpse of predators that are returning home after a night of hunting. We make our way across the park, visiting various waterholes and enjoy a late breakfast at one of the picnic spots within the park. We search for many species that call Etosha home and arrive at Halali where we can take a dip in the pool, visit the waterhole and enjoy lunch. After lunch we visit the Etosha Pan where the park gets its name.

After breakfast a short game drive back to the park gate. The route today takes us west into the area known as the Kunene Region.First stop is a visit to the Otjikandero Himba Village. The Himba people are one of the last tribes in Namibia who still embrace their ancient culture and customs. We participate in a guided tour around the village where we have the chance to not only gain an in-depth insight into the Himba way of life, but to get to know the Himba people.

Day5: Cape Cross, Skeleton Coast

Namib-Naukluft

Takes us through the infamous Skeleton Coast National Park all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. The coastline is a very hostile but a fascinating area known for the Welwitschia mirabilis,the Northern Namibia sand sea, the derelict oil rig near Toscanini, the Huab lagoon and the diminishing remains of various shipwrecks. On exiting the national park we stop for photos of the iconic skull and cross bones gate. The reserve is home to one of the world’s largest breeding colonies of Cape Fur seals.

Camping at Cape Cross Camp

Day6: Swakopmund

Namib-Naukluft

After breakfast we continue travelling along the coast stopping to view the Zeila Shipwreck, one of the latest victims of the Skeleton Coast from as recent as 2007. We arrive in Swakopmund early afternoon and have plenty of time to explore this quaint little town on foot, or join one of the optional activities on offer from skydiving, scenic flights, quad biking and more. We will be dropped off at the hotel. Dinner tonight is at own expense in one of Swakopmund’s excellent restaurants.
