Rates 2022/23 - 10 Days Northern Namibia, Damaraland, Coast & Sossusvlei Camping Safari

We will depart early morning around 8h30 am from Windhoek. The departure time will be confirmed when making your reservation. We drive north from Windhoek towards Okonjima, the African Foundation 40 km before Otjiwarongo. While driving north, we will make a short stop in Okahandja for snacks and fuel. Upon arrival at Okonjima, you will be taken on a tour to view the cheetahs in rehabilitation. The animals at Okonjima are mostly rescues. They are taken in for rehabilitation and will then be re-introduced in nature when they are ready. Tonight, as we arrive back to our campsite, we will set up camp and prepare for dinner.

Camping, lunch, and dinner are included.

Conquering the day with an early start we continue to head north. While passing through small towns we will make a short stop to stock up on some refreshments before entering the Etosha National Park. Arriving at Namutoni Camp we will stay for one night and explore the wildlife of Etosha. At this camp the facilities allow for time to be spent at the waterhole, take a swim in the pool and make use of the curio shop before proceeding to Okaukeujo the next day.
Camping, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.

This morning we will depart early to enjoy a full day in the park and to visit some waterholes along the way. We will stop at Halali for lunch and at this time you will have time to visit the waterhole, make use of the swimming pool or buy something from the shop. After lunch, we proceed through the park until we reach our final destination for the day. Okaukeujo also has a watering hole, a swimming pool and a shop.

Today we will endure a short drive until we reach Kamanjab. At Kamanjab we will visit a Himba village and learn more about the culture of the Himba people. The Himba tribe have an interesting history and the custom way of living is something to experience. Such experience with the Himba culture makes you humble.

The crossing of Damaraland awaits us when we depart the Etosha Park after breakfast. The locals refer to Damaraland as the valley with a thousand hills. It is not uncommon to come across desert-adapted elephants in this region.

Camping, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.

We proceed our visit in Damaraland driving through the Grootberg Pass and enjoying the landscapes this piece of earth holds. We visit the rock art galleries of the San bushman at look at the engravings they made thousands of years ago. After lunch we continue to Brandberg where we will spend the evening camping close to the Brandberg mountain.

“We go again”. Our first stop is in the small town of Uis, an old mining town and one of the best places to buy semi-precious stones, for which Namibia is famous. Here rough amethyst, tourmaline and other stones can be found at bargain prices. Having arrived at the coast we drive to Cape Cross and the seal colony with close views of thousands of fur seals. Tonight we may take the chance to sample one of the excellent restaurants in Swakopmund. The seafood in Swakopmund is superb. Your guide will offer to organize a group meal in a local restaurant for this evening. Participation is recommended but by no means required. Dinner is not included in the price of the safari and will be on the client’s own account.

Accommodation and breakfast, Lunch are included.

Explore Swakopmund at your own pace today.  With shopping, a good stretch of beach (though the Atlantic here is quite cold), and an open-air curio market, this seaside town makes for a pleasant stop.  Swakopmund is also home to a very good museum and the Namibian National Marine Aquarium.

If you're in the mood for something more active, there's plenty of adventure to be had just outside of town. Take a flight over the desert, book a fishing trip from the beach or on the water, ride a quad bike over the desert sand dunes, take a bird-watching tour, and more—adventure seekers can even go sky-diving.

 Accommodation and breakfast are included.

Head about 25 miles south to Walvis Bay,  where you'll spend the morning touring a large marine lagoon which is home to a vast array of marine bird life—and specifically, flamingos. Get back on the road across the endless Namib gravel plains, finally reaching the mountain desert. You'll traverse both the Kuiseb and Gaub passes—both require driving to riverbeds at the canyon bottoms before making the steep climb back up to spectacular panoramas. 

Again, the scenery changes as you make your way down to the dune fields. Cross open savannah and farmland before the terrain begins to give way to the immense red sand dunes of the Namib Desert. From here, it's only a short distance to our next stop: the truly tiny town of Solitaire, a quirky outpost decorated with colorful out-of-commission cars from a bygone era. Arrive at camp during the late afternoon, where you'll have dinner and watch the distant mountains glow in the changing light. We will stay inside the park at sesriem campsite and there will be time for a sunset at elim dune nearby the campsite.

Camping, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.

An early start, to catch the soft light of the sunrise over the desert. We pass through the gate into the Namib Naukluft Park and continue towards Sossusvlei along distant sand dunes on both sides of the road. If resting is not your thing, worry less as we stop at the famous Dune 45. Those who feel fit may climb the dune and get a breathtaking view of the surrounding desert and dunes. After breakfast we will take a desert walk in the cool of the morning, with chance to see gemsboks, springboks, black-backed jackals and ostriches. You will visit deadvlei and sossusvlei. Those of you feeling to climb big daddy can climb. We will return back to your camp for lunch and then relax. As the day cools off in the afternoon we make a short excursion to Sesriem Canyon.

Camping, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.

After breakfast we begin our journey back to civilization on scenic roads through the Khomas Hochland Mountain Range. On the way back there will be time for a nice last lunch together as a group on tour. We are likely to arrive back in the city in the afternoon and you will be dropped off at your accommodation on our return. You will arrive around 14h30 pm.
