DAY-TO-DAY ITINERARY OUTLINE
| DAY 1 | Arrive at Namibia's International airport where your host and transport will meet you. Transfer to Windhoek for a quick tour of its sights and sounds before settling into a comfortable B&B facility on the outskirts of Windhoek. Relax after the long flight and acclimatize to Namibia. |
| DAY 2 | A leisurely breakfast before heading south on the main route towards South Africa, and a southern Kalahari Camp where you may view more than 5000 of our unique Quiver Trees. |
| DAY 3 | Continue into southern Namibia, where you will sleep in the immediate vicinity of the Fish River canyon. |
| DAY 4 | As you continue further west today, and you think that nothing can surprise you anymore, the landscape changes once more. Subject to time of year, the entire landscape appears to be one massive artist's canvas, with a completed water-colour painting on it - all in pastel colours! Arrive at the fairy-tale town of Lüderitz on the South Atlantic coast. |
| DAY 5 | Return to the Interior with a visit to the ghost town of Kolmanskop en-route. Arrive at the "home-base" of Namibia's famous feral horses of the Namib. |
| DAY 6 | A leisurely breakfast before heading north-east towards a lodging in the central Kalahari desert. Time to find your bearings, relax and freshen up, then end your day with a scenic drive through this section of the Kalahari desert. |
| DAY 7 | Although moving further north today, you shall continue within the Kalahari desert to reach your next lodging. A Game- & guest farm in the eastern Kalahari. Meet the local San or Bushman as they welcome you in dance. |
| DAY 8 | Feel the crisp morning air as you join a Bushman tracker for a short, but pleasant, walk through the desert. Observe these dwarf-like, friendly people's knowledge and skills of survival in the Kalahari. |
| DAY 9 | Still within the Kalahari, your journey today will take you to the transitional zone between the Kalahari desert and the central savannah plains of Namibia. A late afternoon Game drive to acquaint yourself with this region. |
| DAY 10 | To shorten the distance to the "gateway" into the water wonderland of Namibia, stop over for the night, right in the heart of the African savannah. |
| DAY 11 | Arrive at said "gateway" today - a rustic rest camp where you may view wildlife coming to drink at a small waterhole, right in camp, clearly visible from your chalet porch. Short nature hikes could result in viewing from the smallest antelope in Namibia - the Damara Dik-dik - to the largest antelope in the world - the Eland. |
| DAY 12 | An early start this morning to enter the water wonderland of Kavango and Caprivi regions. Arrive at your overnight venue, situated on the banks of the Kavango River, by mid- to late afternoon. |
| DAY 13 | The entire day at own leisure to join game viewing drives, relax, have a refreshing swim and end your day with a sundowners boat cruise. |
| DAY 14 | On the return journey today, concede to your reluctance, and spend one more night at the gateway to this region before leaving it behind. Enjoy a final sunset raft cruise down the Kavango River. |
| DAY 15 | Today you experience how quickly a landscape changes in Namibia. From the wet, watery world you left behind, to a dry & dusty Etosha National Park. Something new, something different, as you settle into a Bush lodge near to the Park's entrance. |
| DAY 16 | An entire day's Game viewing across the length of the Etosha National Park's visitor's area. Arrive at the centre camp in time for lunch. Continue towards the western exit and leave the Park before sunset to settle in a safari camp before dinner. |
| DAY 17 | An entirely new change of landscape - and climate - today! Travelling through the rugged beauty of Damaraland, past the highest mountain peak in Namibia - the Brandberg - stop at an old, restored mining town for lunch. Slowly descend to sea level as you near the Atlantic coast where you will visit one of the larger Cape Fur Seal colonies along the Skeleton Coast. |
| DAY 18 | Your first return to "civilization". Last part of the afternoon and evening at own leisure. If you are seafood lovers, Swakopmund is it! |
| DAY 19 | Entire day at own leisure in Namibia's own holiday Riviera, Swakopmund! You are free to join any of the several, privately operated, optional activities. (To view some of these activities and their approximate prices, click HERE). You might also wish to view the largest mineral, crystal cluster ever unearthed to date. |
| DAY 20 | No particular rush this morning, sleep late, maybe browse or do some last minute shopping. Enter the Namib en-route to Windhoek, where you may experience the desolation of the "moon landscape" and the amazing Welwitschia mirabilis plant before arriving at a small Game Lodge en-route to the airport by late afternoon. Should you feel up to it, join a sundowners nature drive for a final glimpse of our sunset on this, your last night in Namibia, Africa. |
| DAY 21 | Subject to flight departure time, a leisurely morning for nature walks, or simply laze in a pool chair, watching wildlife at the waterhole. Transfer to Namibia's International airport to arrive in time for your departure flight. |
