Tour Itinerary

Daily Details for: Namibia • Self-drive - Safari



Day 1: - Windhoek – Kalahari

Upon arrival at the Hosea Kutako International Airport, you will be welcomed by your tour guide, and then continue to drive to southern Namibia with a detour to the Kalahari.

Surrounded by the red dunes of the Kalahari, the Kalahari Anib Lodge seems like a green oasis.



Day 2: - Sesriem

Today we drive towards Sesriem / Sossusvlei, Namibia's scenic highlight in the middle of the Namib Desert. In this unspoiled landscape of the camelthorn acacia, the Tsauchab River has eaten 30 meters into the rock and formed the Sesriem Gorge.



Day 3: - Sesriem

Up to 300 m high dunes characterize the dried clay pan of Sossus Vlei. Rarely reached by the Tsauchab River. Even in the drought, springboks, oryx and ostriches can live here: they are content with sparse vegetation. The area looks most beautiful at sunrise, when the dead trees of the "Dead Valley" stand out against the fiery-red dunes.



Day 4: Sesriem – Swakopmund

Trip in a northwesterly direction though arid savanna and desert of the Namib Naukluft Park, with a crossing of the Kuiseb Canyon and an excursion into the fog desert. Arrival in the evening in Swakopmund.



Day 5: Swakopmund

Trip to Walvis Bay. Bird watching (rosy pelican, Cape cormorant, flamingos and Damara tern) at the local lagoon as well as a boat excursion with seal and dolphin watching, with a chance of sightings of the Mola Mola.



Day 6: - Twyfelfontein

An outing to the dry Huab River is planned to search for the desert adapted elephants.



Day 7 - 8: Palmwag

Today we continue to the northern Damaraland to the Palmwag area. The landscape is dominated by tablemountains , the ground is covered with red stones. Succulents, euphorbias, aloes and acacia are reminiscent of a huge rock garden. Despite the drought, the area is rich in wildlife. A late afternoon Game Drive takes you deeper into this beautifull area with the possibility of mountain zebras, desert adapted elephants and rhinos sightings.



Day 9: Palmwag - Hobatere Lodge

The road takes you to the Hobatere Lodge near the western part of the Etosha National Park.

Today's Etosha National Park was founded in 1907 as Namibia's first nature reserve by the then German government. In the following years, more and more land was added and the Etosha National Park grew to the largest nature reserve in the world, with an area of ​​+/- 80 000km ². Due to political reasons, the park gradually became smaller, until it reached its current area of ​​22 912 km².

So you can always expect to see elephants, plains zebra, springbok, blue wildebeest, kudu, black-nosed impala, oryx and eland, cape giraffe, ground squirrels, hyenas, lions and even leopards. You do not even have to drive a lot, but can observe wildlife in peace at numerous waterholes. Even at night, because terraces were created at some water points.
