Namibia - 9-day Wildlife, Coast & Dunes Safari - Group camping

Starting in Windhoek and heading north, on our 9 day and 8 night semi-accommodated safari, our winding road takes us first to Mt Etjo Game Reserve.

Still heading north we are now looking for amazing wildlife encounters in Etosha National Park we hope for predators and prey alike and with our two nights here we enjoy the privilege of night-time viewing at the world famous Okaukuejo waterhole.

We meet and engage with the Himba Tribespeople and then travel, onwards to Palmwag, over the mighty Etendeka Mountains and Grootberg Pass with exotic and beautiful views where the mountain peaks seem to touch the very sky

We experience the Skeleton Coast, the last resting place of many an ancient mariner, meet 100,000 seals and encounter shipwrecks and lichen fields like no other on our way into the coastal town of Swakopmund. Referred to by some as the adrenaline capital of Namibia, there are certainly some hair-raising experiences on offer, but Swakopmund is also a place where you can relax and recharge.

After crossing the Tropic of Capricorn en-route to the Namib, the oldest desert in the world we have a pre-dawn start to catch the soft light of sunrise as we head for Dead Vlei with its stark collection of skeleton trees and on to Sossusvlei, waters end for an ancient river.

Climbing a towering sand dune, 300 m from top-to-toe, is an experience unique to Namibia, Big Daddy, Big Mamma and Dune 45 are all waiting to be conquered if you are feeling intrepid and want to experience the view from such a lofty perch.

 We visit the Solitaire cheetah conservation project, then homeward bound up-and-over rocky mountains as we climb our way up the central plateau and across the Khomas Hochland mountains to Windhoek.
