WW - WESTERN WONDER SAFARI
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. Travelling along the perimeter of Namibia's central highlands, you will make a pit-stop as you reach the edge of the escarpment. Breathe the fresh air of the mountains as an endless vista of the Namib desert unfolds at your feet, while enjoying a picnic lunch. Descend into the desert towards a desert camp for your first night in the Namib desert. |
| DAY 3 | An early start to enter the valley leading to Sossusvlei and the highest sand dunes in the world. Experience a sea of dunes and mountains that never seem to end. Return to the lodge for a quick stop, before continuing towards a desert guest farm in the central Namib as your next venue. |
| DAY 4 | Your first return to "civilization". Last part of the afternoon and evening at own leisure. If you are seafood lovers, Swakopmund is it! |
| DAY 5 | 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, and stand in awe next to the Welwitschia mirabilis. |
| DAY 6 | Today you enter Damaraland and its rugged landscapes, often referred to as Landscapes of the Soul. En-route, pass the highest mountain peak in Namibia, the Brandberg, before reaching a Damaraland rest camp for a good night's rest after a sunset drive within this pristine wilderness. |
| DAY 7 | Start your day with an informative guided walk, before joining a local guide on a short but pleasant hike through the myriad ancient Petroglyphs (rock engravings). See nature's artist at work in the miniature valley of the Organ Pipes; theorize on the origin of the Burnt Mountain and return to camp. |
| DAY 8 | Moving further into Damaraland, reach the un-official boundary between Damaraland and Kaokoland via a western approach through this wilderness, for a well deserved rest in the restored ruins of an old German Fort - used as an outpost during the German-colonial era. |
| DAY 9 | A relatively long drive to reach the upper areas of the Kaokoveld, on the banks of the Kunene River - the very northern end of Namibia's border! En-route you will pass through the only town in the entire area. Here you are sure to meet up with some of the local, ochre-coloured Ova-Himba people. Your venue tonight is a tranquil piece of African paradise, welcoming you on a silent and peaceful sundowners cruise down the Kunene River. |
| DAY 10 | Besides the serene setting of this beautiful riverine environment, those who dare can partake of some white-water rafting and many other pleasurable activities such as canoeing, quad-biking, hikes or visit a Himba village. |
| DAY 11 | Return all the way to the southernmost border of this wilderness area on your way back south. At tonight's venue - with a little luck - you have an excellent opportunity to spot and view the unique desert adapted Elephants. Late afternoon and early morning you are treated with a great variety of sight and sound from the local bird life. |
| DAY 12 | To shorten the distance back to civilization, stop over for the night, right in the heart of the African savannah. |
| DAY 13 | No particular rush this morning, sleep a little later or maybe enjoy some early morning nature walks before arriving at a small Game Lodge en-route to the airport by late afternoon. Should you feel up to it, join a sundowner nature drive for a final glimpse of our sunset on this, your last night in Namibia, Africa. |
| DAY 14 | 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. |
