WINDHOEK - NA'ANKUSE LODGE (approx. 55 km / 1:00h)
After arriving in Namibia at the Windhoek Airport you will be greeted by one of our supplier representatives. You will be directed to the selected vehicle hiring company where you need to collect your rental camper van. After a quick overview and explanation on the workings of the vehicle and the provided camping equipment you can depart and pick up some essential groceries and other vital items at one of the supermarkets in Windhoek. It is important to stock up on some beverages, foodstuff and possibly toiletteries that you might need in an environment that is not always in the close vacinity of a town.
After your preparation is completed you start your short drive to the Na’an ku se Lodge. You can participate in some of the many activities offered at the lodge where everything revolves around animal welfare and conservation. One recommendation is the 'Carnivore Feeding Tour', where you can visit the wild cats of the lodge and view their feeding up close and personal.

NA'ANKUSE LODGE -OKONJIMA PLAINS CAMP (approx. 320 km / 4:15h)
After breakfast you will continue north through the country on dirt roads flanked by farms on either side of the road. Keep an eye on these sides as there is a lot more to see than just cattle along the route. For instance you will most certainly be able to see animals such as antelope, giraffes, zebras, warthogs and many more wild species. At Okanhandja you take the national road (B1) and continue to the Okonjima Nature Reserve - this will be your destination for the night. Here, too, they are committed to nature conservation and take care of the animals that have fallen into conflict with the neighbouring farmers. Sightings of leopard and cheetah are possible during some of the game drives and in addition to the big cats you will also find plenty of other animals that are native to the region..
