WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE |
SAMPLE ITINERARY (On which published price is based)
| DAY 1 | Meet your host at the airport on arrival and transfer to a small Game Lodge en-route to Windhoek. Relax from the flight and acclimatize to Namibia. Should you feel up to it, you also have your first opportunity to view our sunset on a sundowners drive, or simply relax on a pool chair and view wildlife at the waterhole. |
| DAY 2 | To shorten the distance towards the eastern entrance to the Etosha National Park, a night-stop en-route will afford you a view of the open savannah grassland of Namibia. |
| DAY 3 | As you travel towards the Etosha National Park, enjoy a quick stop to visit the mysterious Lake Otjikoto. Arrive at your next venue in time to freshen up, have a swim and maybe have sufficient time to join a late afternoon game viewing drive to search out the diminutive Damara Dik-dik in the Fort Namutoni area. Return to your lodge before sunset. |
| DAY 4 | Return to Etosha after breakfast for slow wildlife viewing drives in the Namutoni area. Lunch at Fort Namutoni, maybe a short rest under the trees in the rest camp, then another slow Game drive until just before sunset. Return to your lodge. |
| DAY 5 | An early breakfast today as you will not only return to Etosha, but traverse the entire length of the Park today. Lunch at Halali rest camp. Continue after lunch to exit at the western gate towards a safari camp for dinner and a peaceful night. |
| DAY 6 | Return to Etosha again after breakfast for slow wildlife viewing and photographing drives in the Okaukuejo area of the Park. Lunch at Okaukuejo rest camp. Exit the Park for the last time just before sunset. |
| DAY 7 | Today, the promised visit to the Cheetah Conservation Farm. Arrangements will be made for the the owners to invite you to their homestead where you will have the opportunity for some real close-up photography - and inter-action - with a few semi-tame Cheetahs. |
|
DAY
8 and DAY 9 |
Your first venue in Damaraland today. As you enter this wilderness area, you will be accommodated at a lodge in a special concession area of this region. Besides the fact that 11 of Namibia's 14 endemic and semi-endemic bird species occur here, a pride of 9 Lions has recently decided to make this area their home - nobody knows where they migrated from. This is also one of the venues frequented by the elusive desert Elephants. Here you will have an opportunity for a night Game drive to search out the nocturnal wildlife of Namibia. |

DAY
10 and DAY 11 |
Another promise arrived at! As you move further south within Damaraland, arrive at this most unique lodge in a "bowl" valley of the Damaraland mountains. Before breakfast on Day 11, join one of the most informative, and pleasant, nature walks in Namibia, accompanied by one of the most respected guides in the country. Besides wildlife viewing drives, swimming or wallowing in a natural, sulphur-free hot spring, the times in between could be used for rest, or to be pampered with Aroma therapy-, Reflexology- or muscle-relaxing massages. (Not included in the safari price, but offered by private, in-house therapists at between N$200 and N$350 per session). |
| DAY 12 | Being the turning point in your itinerary, you have to nose back in the direction of Windhoek today. To shorten the distance, and to afford a final wildlife viewing and photographing opportunity, stop at a private Game Reserve boasting the widest variety of wildlife outside the confines of the Etosha National Park. |
| DAY 13 | Unfortunately, this dream is fast coming to an end. But not to create too much of a shock to your system by suddenly returning you to civilization after such a free and close-to-Nature experience, your accommodation tonight will be at Game Lodge en-route to the airport. Join a scenic drive for a final view of our sunset on this, your last night in Namibia, Africa. |
| DAY 14 | Subject to flight departure time, you will have the opportunity for a leisurely breakfast, and to finish those last exposures on your film, or memory disc. Transfer to Namibia's International airport to arrive in time for your departure flight. |
