  • Days 1-2

    Windhoek & Kalahari

    A quick 45-minute transfer takes you from Hosea Kutako International Airport to Windhoek. The next day, drive 300km south to Mariental in the Kalahari Desert. Plan your game drive between 4-6pm when wildlife is most active. You might spot black impala and cheetah. The Kalahari gets hot, often over 95°F/35°C, so pack light, breathable clothes.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Sossusvlei & Dead Valley

    The 5-6 hour drive west to Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert is worth every minute. Get to the park gates by sunrise (around 6am) to see the dunes at their best, when shadows create beautiful contrasts. It takes about 60-90 minutes to climb Big Daddy dune. Start early before the sand heats up and bring at least 2 liters of water per person.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Swakopmund

    Swakopmund feels like a small German town dropped on Africa's west coast. You can try sandboarding or take a dolphin watching cruise. Book these activities early since they get full quickly. Take the morning walking tour to learn about the town's interesting history.

    
  • Days 7-8

    Damaraland

    The 6.5-hour drive north to Damaraland offers beautiful views. Stop at Cape Cross Seal Colony (bring a bandana, the smell is strong). The real highlight is tracking black rhinos on foot in the Torra Conservancy. Wear neutral colors and listen carefully to your guide for the best chance to see these amazing animals up close.

    
  • Days 9-11

    Etosha National Park

    Three full days in Namibia's best wildlife park. Get there at sunrise when animals are most active. You'll find different animals at the park's waterholes throughout the day. Elephants often show up between 11am-3pm. Keep a safe distance from lions, even in your vehicle. A recent visitor said, "Watching a pride of lions stalk prey at the floodlit waterhole after dark was absolutely mesmerizing."

    
  • Days 12-13

    Otjiwarongo Region

    Visit the Cheetah Conservation Foundation to learn about these beautiful cats. The area offers good nature walks but wear closed shoes because of rocky terrain. Try local dishes at the farewell dinner. If you want to go mountain biking, book it ahead of time.

    
  • Day 14

    Return to Windhoek

    The final 3-hour drive takes you back to Windhoek. Book flights after 6pm to have enough time. Get to the airport 3 hours before international flights since afternoons get busy.

  • 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.

  • Days 1-2

    Windhoek to Namib Desert

    Begin your journey in Windhoek before traveling southwest through Namib-Naukluft Park to Sesriem. A recent visitor shared: "The vast and empty desert landscapes - miles of nothing and nobody - were truly breathtaking." Get some rest early since tomorrow starts before dawn. Remember to pack warm clothes. Desert nights can be surprisingly cold, dropping below freezing even in summer.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Sossusvlei & Swakopmund

    Start your day at 5:30 AM to climb Dune 45 for sunrise before the crowds arrive. Visit Dead Vlei to see its ancient petrified trees. Drive to coastal Swakopmund through Walvis Bay where flamingos gather in the lagoon. Many travelers love the dolphin watching: "We saw everything from pelicans to seals to dolphins, and even a southern right whale and calf!"

    
  • Days 5-6

    Damaraland & Brandberg

    Travel inland to Damaraland and look for desert-adapted elephants near the Ugab River. Check out the ancient rock art at Brandberg, the country's highest peak. One visitor notes: "The 90-minute valley walk to see the White Lady rock painting can be challenging in the heat - bring at least 2L water and wear sturdy shoes with good grip."

    
  • Days 7-9

    Etosha National Park

    The best wildlife viewing of your trip. Stay near floodlit waterholes for amazing nighttime animal watching. One guest recalls: "Watching 30 elephants silently file down to drink under the stars was unforgettable." Go on game drives early morning and late afternoon when animals are most active. Rest at camp during the hot midday hours.

    
  • Days 10-11

    Waterberg Plateau

    Visit the stunning Waterberg Plateau which rises 200m above the plains. Explore several walking trails including one to a scenic lookout point. You can also book optional 4x4 game drives. Good advice from a traveler: "The climb to the plateau viewpoint takes about 20 minutes and can be slippery - hiking poles are helpful."

    
  • Days 12-13

    Waterberg to Windhoek

    Track rhinos at Otjiwa before heading back to Windhoek. Visit the craft markets but consider this tip: "The market in central Windhoek is more relaxed and better value than the tourist-focused ones outside the city." Finish with dinner at Joe's Beerhouse, a local favorite known for its unique atmosphere.
