After a visit to the Sossusvlei we will then visit the Sesriem Canyon. After lunch we will make our way to the Coast past scenic Gaub and Kuiseb passes. We will go past Walvis Bay Lagoon for some interesting water birds including Flamingoes. We will then overnight in Swakopmund.

The Delight

We will leave the Coastal environment, drive inland past a couple of Shipwrecks. We will visit the largest Seal colony in the world, Cape Cross Seal Reserve. After this activity, we will then go through the Skeleton Coast National Park. This is a rarely visited park in Namibia with eye-catching landscapes that ranges from sweeping vistas of windswept smaller sand dunes to rugged canyons with walls of richly coloured rocks and extensive mountain ranges. We will overnight in Damaraland.

Twyfelfontein Country Lodge

Etosha South

This morning we will visit the Bushman Rock Engravings around Twyfelfontein before making our way to Etosha National Park. This area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007 and consists of over 40 000 rock engravings done by the San people 2000 years ago. We will then proceed to the Petrified Forest. This is a geological formation that happened 280 million years ago. We will proceed to Etosha, and we should be in time for an afternoon game drive.

Etosha Safari Camp

Etosha South

Etosha

We will do a morning and an afternoon game drive in the National Park. This implies we will be back at the lodge around mid-day and go back into the park late afternoon. Enjoy the siesta or swimming pool and the tranquility of the lodge. Etosha is a 22 270 km2 park with 114 mammal species and over 350 bird species. It is unique because of the concentration and diversity of wildlife around waterholes, giving one a chance to see animal dramas unfolding as they make turns to quench their thirst.
