About Namibia
Namibia is a country of vast contrasts
comprising of two great deserts. The Namib,
from which the country takes its name, is
considered to be the world’s oldest desert.
Located in the western part, this Sea of Red
Sand stretches to the Atlantic coast and is the
home of the world’s largest sand dunes. In the
east the Kalahari Desert spreads into
Botswana and into South Africa. A vast
sparsely vegetated savannah that supports a
surprising wildlife population. Never-ending
vistas and a warm welcome wait in Namibia.
Namibia Fly Drive Itinerary
Day 1 Southbound
Fly south, normally via Johannesburg, to
Windhoek, the capital of Namibia.
Day 2 & 3 The Kalahari
On arrival our Meet & Greet service will help
you through the airport and complete the
formalities. Then head to the southern edge of
the great Kalahari Desert. Your opportunity to
enjoy game drives in spectacular desert
scenery, with its surprisingly high wildlife
density.
Day 4 & 5 Sossusvlei
Drive to the sand dunes of Sossusvlei in
Namib-Naukluft Park. At over 40,000 sq km it
is Africa’s largest national park. Fantastic
viewing of a wide variety of mammals and
over 200 bird species. It is however the sand
dunes that are awe inspiring and amongst the
highest in the world.
Day 6 & 7 Swakopmund
Namibia’s second largest town is located on
the Atlantic coast and, since German times,
the holiday resort of choice. Time to relax and
recouperate, and perhaps participate in
activities such as sand boarding, quad bikes or
maybe a more leisurely hot air balloon trip.
Day 8 & 9 Damaraland
Unusual geographical locations, archeological
sites and a unique variety of desert fauna and
flora await you in this stunning scenery. This
area is the most southerly home of the very
rare black rhino, the small unique desert
elephants and Hartmans Mountain zebra.
Day 10 & 11 Etosha National Park
The name means “Great White Place”, which
refers to the massive mineral pan that covers
25% of the park’s 22,000 sq km. Originally a
lake, it now only floods at times of heavy rain.
However around the edge of the pan there are
numerous permanent water holes, which
attract a wide range and variety of wildlife.
A visit to Etosha rarely disappoints.
Day 12 Home or Onwards
Time to reflect as you drive back to Windhoek
on how much life is actually supported by the
desert. You may choose to continue onwards
to visit South Africa or Botswana or return
home.Whichever you choose you will return
with a new understanding of desert life.
