  • 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.

    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.

Rest at camp during the hot midday hours.

    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."
