  • Days 1-2

    Windhoek & Kalahari

    Land in Windhoek before 1 PM to make the most of your day. Book morning flights to avoid the bumpy afternoon winds. Start at the Craft Center for orientation and then drive to the Kalahari. Take an optional sunrise dune drive on your first morning but pack warm clothes since desert mornings get surprisingly cold.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Sossusvlei Region

    Drive 4 hours to Sesriem to access the famous dunes. Take a break at Solitaire for their well-known apple pie in this unique desert stop. Get to Sossusvlei before sunrise by leaving your lodge at 5:30 AM for the best views. The 350-meter dunes need good physical fitness. Walk up at an angle instead of straight up and wear closed shoes because the sand gets very hot.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Swakopmund

    Take the ocean-desert route to this German-influenced town. You'll drive about 5 hours through the Namib Desert past Kuiseb Canyon. Book a morning marine cruise from Walvis Bay for seal and dolphin watching when the water is calmer. Pack a windbreaker because the Benguela current makes this coast quite cool.

    
  • Day 7

    Damaraland

    Stop at Spitzkoppe on your way to Twyfelfontein. Set aside 2 hours for the rock formations. The Rock Arch needs a short but rocky walk so wear good shoes. Your lodge will give you great sunset views of the landscape.

    
  • Days 8-10

    Etosha National Park

    Take three full days to explore Namibia's best wildlife park. Go on game drives in early morning and late afternoon when animals are most active. Try the western part of the park for elephant watching with fewer tourists. Stay at lodges outside the park for better comfort than park housing.

    
  • Day 11

    Waterberg Region

    Visit this nature reserve with its 200-meter plateau. Start hiking early before the afternoon heat kicks in. The optional rhino tracking costs extra but gets you close to these rare animals.

    
  • Days 12-14

    Return via Windhoek

    Look around the capital city where Independence Avenue shows both old colonial buildings and modern African life. Spend 2-3 hours at the woodcarving market for better prices than tourist shops. Book flights after 2 PM on your last day.

    Travel to the remote Kaokoveld region to visit the Himba people. The drive is long so pack plenty of water and snacks. Look for desert-adapted elephants around Palmwag.

  • Days 8-9

    Brandberg Mountain

    Start your day early at Twyfelfontein to see ancient rock art before it gets too hot. Check out the interesting Organ Pipes rock formations nearby.

In the afternoon go tracking desert elephants for great photo opportunities.

    
  • Days 10-11

    Swakopmund & Skeleton Coast

    The coast brings relief from the desert heat. Visit the Cape Cross seal colony but bring a bandana for the strong smell. Explore German colonial buildings in Swakopmund and watch flamingos at Walvis Bay Lagoon. Try local seafood restaurants and optional activities like sandboarding or scenic flights.

    
  • Days 12-14

    Sesriem & Sossusvlei

    Your final stop is the stunning Namib Desert. Get up before dawn to climb Dune 45 for sunrise. The tough climb rewards you with incredible views.
