We will make regular stops along the way to take photographs of the beautiful landscape. Mid-morning, we will stop for a coffee break at a perfect lookout point and enjoy the vast beauty of the Namibian vista.

If time allows, we will stop for the "famous Apple Pie" in Solitaire, a true Namibian tradition that cannot be missed. This journey will take approximately 4 to 5 hours and we will arrive at our lodge in time for watching the beautiful sunset. We'll enjoy some drinks while we discuss the plans for tomorrow's early start.

Sossusvlei

We will be up before the sun rises to get ready for our Sossusvlei visit. We will enjoy a quick cup of coffee/tea and then wait for the entrance gates of the park to open. (The gates open at sunrise.) We will drive for about 30 minutes while appreciating the beauty of the sun that is rising over the amazing red dunes.

For the adventurous, you have the option of climbing the dunes, sliding down them or enjoying a brisk walk to Dead Vlei. You will have plenty of time to enjoy the many highlights that surround Sossusvlei itself.

After a full morning's activity, we will return to the lodge for lunch and some free time. Late afternoon, we will join the lodge on a sundowner drive. Another perfect end to our day on safari in Namibia.

You will return to the hotel at around 1:00 pm and after enjoying lunch, we will make our way to Walvis Bay where we will marvel at the thousands of waterbirds that call the Walvis Bay Lagoon their home.

Damaraland

Today, we'll continue our safari northwards along the Skeleton Coast. This bleak and evocatively named area is one of the most unusual coastal wildernesses on the planet, protecting about a third of Namibia’s long coastline.

After visiting one of the many shipwrecks along the coast for some dramatic photographs, we will turn inland towards spectacular Damaraland. We will drive past the Brandberg and in the distance, we will also see the Spitzkoppe, one of Namibia's most recognizable landmarks.

This beautiful mountainous region is home to an assortment of scientifically important desert-adapted wildlife such as elephants, rhinos, zebras and lions, which somehow survive and thrive in this near-barren landscape. We hope to see some of them; a special treat indeed!

We will be at our lodge in time for a sundowner drink while we enjoy the view over this rugged but beautiful landscape.

Twyfelfontein and Etosha National Park

This morning after breakfast, we'll slowly make our way to Etosha National Park. On the way there, we will visit Twyfelfontein, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 2,000-plus rock petroglyphs, estimated to be 6,000 years old, represent one of Africa’s largest and most noteworthy concentrations of rock art. Most of these well-preserved engravings represent rhinos. The site also includes depictions of elephants, ostriches and giraffes, as well as drawings of human and animal footprints, all done in red ochre. Here, we will also look out for the Namib Desert’s weird-looking living fossil plants, the Welwitschia.

We will arrive at our lodge on the southwestern side of Etosha late in the afternoon and settle into our accommodation. We will meet up for some sundowners and have a wonderful dinner while discussing our plans for tomorrow.

Early this morning, we'll make our way to the entrance gate of Etosha National Park (the gates open at sunrise) where we will do our first game drive in our own vehicle. We will stop briefly at some of the waterholes on the way to Okaukuejo Resort, where we will stop to stretch our legs and spend some time sitting at the waterhole. We have enjoyed many wonderful sightings at the camp waterholes and your expert guide will give you more information on each animal you will see and each area you will visit. We have the option to spend the full day in the park or return to the lodge for lunch. We can also arrange a picnic lunch and enjoy this at one of the picnic spots inside the park. We will customise our route according to what sightings we have the privilege of enjoying and your preferences.
