The Reiterdenkmal (horse rider monument), the Alte Feste (Old Fort), the Christuskirche (church) and the oldest building of Windhoek, the old ammunition building, as well as Windhoek’s three castles are being visited. The highlight of the tour is the visit of the ‘slum’ or ghetto area Katutura and finally the drive onto a hill at the Goreangab Dam, from where you can enjoy a great view onto Windhoek.

Namibia Central Plateau- Waterberg

After breakfast, your guide will transfer you to the Central Plateau area of Namibia, the Waterberg. Upon arrival, you have several options of trails to hikes that you may do on your own at your own pace. Explore the valley of this private nature reserve on your own, on five demarcated trails with viewpoints. Information boards tell you stories about the spring, animals and occurrences. One of the trails is about the history of the Waterberg area. Take a walk back in history to a site of the Battle of Waterberg (1904) and to a camp for Herero refugees (1906) – events that influence Namibian-German relations till today. Information boards outline and explain the unfolding of the shared history of Herero and Germans.
In the afternoon, we will embark on a sundowner drive with high chances of encountering white rhinos.

Bushmanland- The San People of Kalahari Desert

After breakfast, we will drive to Bushmanland. Enroute to our destination, we will visit the world heaviest metallic meteorite, the Hoba Meteorite. It weighs about 60 tonnes, and analysis suggests it is mostly iron (80%) and nickel with traces of cobalt. After lunch, we will make our way more eastwards to Bushmanland. We have time to feel the tranquility of the lodge area before dinner. On the second day we have a full day excursion with the San people. Accompanied by San hunters, in search of warthog, springbok, springhare, porcupine, and large birds. It is not guaranteed that you will have success but, the thrill of tracking and stalking potential prey is exhilarating. It is to show one how they used to live traditionally and adjust to the Kalahari Desert without much surface water. We will experience traditional singing around the campfire, San woman playout their ritual games and the men mimicking antelope and giraffe movements.

On the second day we will embark on a full day game drive, exploring this part of the park. It is a 22 270 km2 park with 114 mammal species and over 350 bird species. Etosha means “Great White Place” in local Oshindonga language, referring to the 4800 km2 salt pan that covers 23% of the park’s surface area. Mammals include Black and White Rhinoceros, Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, African elephant, Plains and Hartmann’s Mountain Zebras, Southern Giraffe subs angolensis, Eland, Gemsbok, African Wild Cat, Spotted and Brown Hyaena among other animals. It is quite unique in its own way as the concentration and diversity around waterholes in the dry season in magnificent, giving one a chance to see animal dramas unfolding as they make turns to quench their thirst. Birding is quite good as well.
