Day 1: Arrive at Hosea Kutako (Windhoek International) Airport and transfer to Safarihoek, Etosha Heights Private Reserve
It’s your first night in Namibia! After you’ve arrived in Etosha Heights Reserve, celebrate with an evening drive and dinner under the stars in the heart of the wilderness.
Days 2 & 3: Safarihoek, Etosha Heights Private Reserve
The next two days are for exploring the Etosha region, one of Namibia’s wildlife hotspots. Keep your eyes peeled for lion, giraffe, ostrich, hyena and of course, endangered rhino, the symbol of Etosha.
Day 4: Transfer to Hoanib Valley Camp, Kaokoland
After breakfast has settled, you’ll swap the rolling grasslands of Etosha Heights for the dry deserts and sandy rivers of the Hoanib Valley.
Day 5: Hoanib Valley Camp, Kaokoland
Hop in your vehicle and search for desert-adapted elephant, digging deep holes in scorched earth, before visiting the traditional villages of the nomadic Himba peoples.
Day 6: Transfer to Shipwreck Lodge, Skeleton Coast
Just when you thought you couldn’t get any more remote, you’ll head west to the Skeleton Coast, a strange yet utterly beautiful slice of Namibian wilderness.
Days 7 & 8: Shipwreck Lodge, Skeleton Coast
Some might say this is when the adventure really begins! Visit the seals at Mowe Colony, walk across the lunar landscapes and discover the secrets of the desert, and clamber over the whale-bones and shipwrecks on the coast.
Day 9: Transfer to Swakopmund and depart
Today, you’ll travel down the Atlantic Coast to the pretty town of Swakopmund, and then sadly, it’s departure time.
