Trip Route
1 night at The Weinberg Windhoek Gondwana Collection Namibia
Windhoek is Namibia's social, economic and political capital, with its sprawling urban core that dominates the surrounding landscape. While it is not generally considered a tourist destination, many travellers use Windhoek as an entry or exit point for Namibia. The rich history, culture and fantastic food make visiting this city an incredibly unique experience. Windhoek is one of the cleanest cities in Africa and offers a wide range of attractions. Cleanliness, well-structured infrastructure and a thriving cultural community are what makes this town flourish in its own traditional way.
2 nights at Desert Homestead Lodge
If you only have time to see one thing in Namibia, make it the soaring sand dunes of Sossusvlei. Few words can describe the towering red dunes spread across the landscape, or walking amongst the fossilised Acacia trees in the vast white clay pan of Deadvlei. The ever-changing dunes are the arid lands most iconic feature, and hiking to the tops will allow you to view the Martian-like landscape below. Sossuvlei shows off its beauty by housing many plants and animals that have adapted to life in the dry, yet dreamy terrain. This natural wonder is a perfect example of Namibia's unspoiled desert landscape.
Included Services:
2 nights at Swakopmund Luxury Suites
Nestled on the west coast of the Namib Desert - where the dunes meet the ocean - is the popular little town of Swakopmund. This laid-back area offers charm in bucket loads with its colonial architecture, quaint restaurants and historic landmarks - such as the "Mole" sunset pier. The cobbled streets and picturesque buildings indicate the rich heritage and culture this town holds, while the museums show its diverse history. This area radiates personality - from the more relaxed daytime charm to the vibrant atmosphere of the night - this is one of Namibia's hidden gems that need to be experienced.
Other things to do at this location:
1 night at Spitzkoppen Lodge
Very few natural landscapes match up to the spectacular views of Spitzkoppe. The peaks stand out dramatically against the flat, desolate scenery below, making it one of Namibia's must-see attractions. Here, the famous Rock Arch can be found - a photographer's dream. Climbing the Spitzkoppe is no easy task. However, if conquered, the views from above are unlike any other! Spend sunrise and sunset sitting tranquilly in nature's beauty, watching the rocks' colours change from bright reds to light yellows, granting endless opportunities to relish in the contrasting light and shadowy patterns of the cliffs.
2 nights at Wilderness Doro Nawas
Twyfelfontein is a site of ancient rock engravings in the semi-arid region of north-western Namibia. This world heritage site is situated 100 kilometres from the ocean, where the scenery shifts from dry red sands to lush grassland. Drawn by the San People, the engravings show depictions of both human and animal tracks. Many of the impressions also depict animals that are no longer found in the area - including lion, zebra, kudu and even seals! Visiting these paintings, with their rich historical and cultural backgrounds, allows you to learn about the Namibian heritage and the San people's customs and beliefs.
Included Services:
2 nights at Etosha Oberland Lodge
Etosha's southernmost section is home to Etosha South. This area is known for its rich population of both white and black rhino. Etosha South is home to the Okaukuejo Rest Camp, which is famous for its floodlit waterhole. The many viewpoints overlook picturesque bush-scapes and abundant wildlife. Getting into the South is accessible by Andersson's Gate. Here, visitors can expect to see many animals, including lion and the rare black-faced impala. However, the most notable of animals found here are elephants. Enjoy guided nature walks, game drives, or simply watching the sunset from this breath-taking location.
Included Services:
1 night at Okonjima Plains Camp
With a backdrop of rolling hills and grassy plains – Okonjima Nature Reserve is best known for its diverse animal species - such as cheetahs, lions, hyenas and leopards. Boasting mixed woodland and thornveld plains, the land is home to Africa's most extensive wild cat population. Established in 1991, the AfriCat Foundation is a non-profit organisation committed to the long-term conservation and education of Namibia's large carnivores - and even allows you to track the cheetah on foot! Okonjima, with its rugged bushveld and mountainous outcrops, is a truly unique Southern Africa experience.
