One journey. Many landscapes.
This route brings together Namibia’s very different landscapes without making wildlife the only reason to travel. There are days on the road, days on foot, and time to sit quietly and watch.
The route, day by day
Day 1 · Windhoek
Arrive in Windhoek and settle into the first lodge. Leave time to recover from the flight and begin your introduction to Namibia.
Days 2–3 · Sossusvlei
Travel into the Namib Desert. Explore the dunes and Deadvlei, with time for Sesriem Canyon. Early starts make room for the changing light.
Days 4–5 · Swakopmund
Continue to the Atlantic coast. Use Swakopmund as a base for Walvis Bay and a guided Sandwich Harbour excursion. A scenic flight can be discussed as an optional addition.
Day 6 · Spitzkoppe
Head inland to the granite peaks. Explore the rock formations and discuss guided climbing if you would like a more active afternoon.
Day 7 · Damaraland
Travel north into rugged country. Slow down for wide views and time at the lodge, with locally guided activities shaped around your stay.
Days 8–9 · Etosha
Continue to Etosha for wildlife viewing. Allow a full day for game drives and patient stops at waterholes. Sightings always depend on conditions.
Day 10 · Okonjima
Travel to Okonjima for the final wildlife-focused stop. Ask about available tracking excursions when your dates and accommodation are confirmed.
Days 11–12 · Windhoek & departure
Return to Windhoek for a final night before your airport transfer. The final schedule will be matched to your flight times.
