  • 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 & Waterberg Plateau, Namibia

    Your Southern Africa adventure begins in Windhoek, Namibia's capital. Meet your group and travel to Waterberg Plateau (4-5 hours away).

    Etosha National Park

    Take a 4-5 hour drive to Etosha National Park for two days of wildlife viewing. Visit during dry season (May-October) when animals gather at waterholes for the best experience.

Animals are most active early morning and late afternoon.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Spitzkoppe & Swakopmund

    The journey to Spitzkoppe's dramatic rock formations takes 7-8 hours. Expect basic bush camping with long-drop toilets and no running water. Next, drive 3-4 hours to Swakopmund, a coastal town with German influences. Try sandboarding (700 NAD) or take a scenic flight over the Skeleton Coast (4800 NAD).

    
  • Days 7-9

    Namib Desert & Sossusvlei

    A 7-hour drive takes you into the world's oldest desert. Get up early to climb Dune 45 before the sand heats up. One traveler suggests: "Bring plenty of water and sun protection - the dunes are utterly exposed." Visit Sesriem Canyon and look for desert wildlife in the cooler morning hours.

    
  • Days 10-11

    Fish River Canyon & Orange River

    Travel 9-10 hours to Fish River Canyon, the largest in Africa. Watch the sunset over the canyon before camping nearby. At Orange River, crossing into South Africa, you can go canoeing (400 ZAR). "The Orange River canoeing was a peaceful break from the long drives," says a past participant.

    
  • Days 12-14

    Cederberg & Cape Town

    Drive 6.5 hours through rooibos tea plantations to the Cederberg mountains for wine tasting and camping. The final stretch to Cape Town includes a stop at the !Khwa ttu San Culture Centre (5 hours). "Book extra nights in Cape Town," a traveler suggests, "there's too much to see in just one day." You might want to plan extra time for Table Mountain or wine tours (1675 ZAR).

  • 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).

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.
