The 10 days Exploring Namibia Tour allows you to experience the top attractions in Namibia. A tour that starts and ends in Windhoek on selected Saturdays and covers the highlights of this spectacular land of contrasts.
We have great things ahead of us. Traveling north to Tsumeb, which is the gateway to the Etosha National Park. Which we will discover over the next few days.
Overnight: Minen Hotel
Day 2: Etosha National Park (250 km)
The next days will be spent in the world famous Etosha National Park. 114 different animal species and 340 different bird species live in the park. Visitors are clearly outnumbered. And as befits the scale of the park, the roles are reversed. In the park, guests are fenced in for overnight stays or lunch breaks in secure camps. While elephants, lions and co. roam freely across 22,000 square kilometers.
We experience the Etosha National Park in all its diversity and the wilderness up close. Spotted, striped, dotted, with long necks or short legs, there is something new to discover around every corner. Zebra, elephant, giraffe, blue wildebeest, oryx, springbok, kudu and rare animals such as the black-nosed impala have lived here completely undisturbed for more than 100 years. The tourist cars on the few dusty roads are hardly noticed. The abundance of animals is overwhelming. If you are lucky, you may see nocturnal lions, leopards and cheetahs, hyenas or jackals roaming through the bush in the early morning or late evening.
Etosha is also a paradise for bird lovers with hundreds of documented species. The Etosha Pan itself, a gigantic salt pan, shimmers dry and dusty in the midday heat or attracts thousands of migratory birds after the rains. Depending on the season. We drive along the various routes that lead to the most frequented waterholes and exit the park through the Andersson Gate before sunset.
Overnight: Etotongwe Lodge – Breakfast
Elephants at Etosha Pan
Day 3: Etosha National Park
One last day of animal adventures. The exciting thing is that we don’t yet know in the morning what wild encounters we will have on this day. The only certainty is that it will be exciting and varied! The vegetation in the eastern part of the park is diverse and every waterhole tells a different story. Sometimes it’s just the watchful gaze of an antelope that lets us recognize the lion or hyena in the shade under a bush. Incidentally, the animals are no different to us – in the midday heat, they prefer to take a nap under a shady bush. And that’s why the best times for our game drives are early in the morning or late afternoons. The only thing glowing is the finger on the camera’s shutter release.
Overnight: Etotongwe Lodge – Breakfast
Day 4: Erongo region (310 km)
Experience the fascinating nature and culture of Namibia on an unforgettable journey from Etosha National Park to the Erongo region. You will experience Namibia’s varied landscapes and historical sites, ideal for a relaxed road trip through Namibia. The well-paved road offers breathtaking views of the Namibian landscape where you can enjoy the vastness and tranquillity of the region to the fullest. Omaruru is a picturesque town known for its colonial history. Discover the charming alleyways, the historic church and small art galleries.
Omaruru is also an ideal starting point for an afternoon excursion to the nearby Living Museum of the San. The Erongo Mountains are home to thousands of rock paintings. The Living Museum is part of this, and the paintings and archaeological findings show that a long time ago San used to live and hunt here and left their traces. The Living Museum Foundation attempts to give the San the opportunity to make a living with their museum in an area where their ancestors used to live.
Overnight: Omaruru Guestshouse – Breakfast
Day 5: Swakopmund (240 km)
Today we reach the Matterhorn of Namibia (Spitzkoppe) on our way to the Atlantic coast, where we go on a guided hike with a local guide to Bushman Paradise. Where we discover San drawings hidden in the rocks. The Spitzkoppe is one of the most photographed mountain motifs of Namibia.
Matterhorn of Namibia
After a day of animals and pure nature, we all deserve a little pampering. Swakopmund is the town between the hot Namib Desert and the cold Atlantic Ocean. Cozy restaurants and cafés in beautifully restored colonial houses, a beach promenade, palm trees and a jetty that leads out onto the Atlantic. There is even a small but pretty pedestrian zone with souvenir stores and bookshops. We move into our hotel in the middle of the city. From here, we can do everything on foot and plan what we want to do the next day in the evening.
Overnight: Swakopmund Plaza Hotel – Breakfast
Day 6: Swakopmund
It is not without reason that Swakopmund is called “Namibia’s playground”. Namibians from all parts of the country flock to the small coastal town during the big summer vacations at the latest, because everyone gets their money’s worth here. All you have to do is decide which guided activity you fancy the most: A discovery tour into the desert with a visit to the lunar landscape, an adrenaline kick with sandboarding or quad biking in the nearby dunes, or a breathtaking parachute jump? For those who are drawn to the water, there are kayak tours or catamaran trips in Walvis Bay. Even sightseeing flights over the Namib dunes and along the Skeleton Coast take off from here. You can just as easily relax on a walk by the sea, try out the cafés and ice cream parlors and browse through the beautiful souvenir stores.
In the evening, we meet up again in one of the cozy restaurants. As befits a coastal town, lovers of seafood and fish dishes get their money’s worth.
Overnight: Swakopmund Plaza Hotel – Breakfast
Swakopmund lighthouse
Day 7: Namib Desert (400 km)
We have only just said goodbye to the Atlantic and the fresh sea breeze when the shimmering heat of the Namib captures us again. We cross a seemingly endless desert plain and the bizarre Kuiseb Canyon, approaching the little settlement of Solitaire on the edge of the Namib Naukluft National Park, feeling like you have arrived in the middle of nowhere. Well shaken by the gravel road, we reach our accommodation at the foot of the Tsaris Pass in the afternoon. Time enough for a dip in the refreshing pool, a hike or an optional nature tour with the lodge. When the setting sun turns the surrounding mountains blue, we know once again that we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world.
Overnight: Hammerstein Lodge – Breakfast
Day 8: Namib Desert / Sossuvlei
Today it’s time to get up early! A cup of tea or coffee at dawn and off we go; to Sossusvlei. After all, we want to experience the morning atmosphere with a view of the dunes. The view from the heart of the Namib to the shimmering red sea of dunes in the early rays of the sun is unforgettable. Even morning grouches are simply happy. Here at Sossusvlei, where the water from the Tsauchab River seeps between the mighty sand dunes every few years during a good rainy season, nature presents us with magnificent sights: The white, mostly dried out clay pans (vleis) compete with the red dunes and the deep blue sky, weathered trees provide the necessary contrasts in Deadvlei and the gnarled camel thorn trees, which miraculously find enough water in the groundwater to survive, provide shade and a habitat for animals and plants from the heat.
Drinking water is a must – but you’ll soon find that out for yourself! After climbing up in the sand, we then descend in the rocks.
Towering Sossusvlei Dunes
The Sesriem Canyon, which was carved into the ground millions of years ago by the Tsauchab River, is around one kilometer long and is a narrow gorge that is 30 m deep in places. Anyone unfamiliar with the canyon would easily miss it in the plain. Early settlers had to tie six (ses) leather straps (rieme) together to reach the water below. Speaking of water – a wonderful keyword in the desert heat: whether in the pool to cool off or frozen into ice cubes in a drink at sunset – back at the lodge we have a relaxing evening.
Overnight: Hammerstein Lodge – Breakfast
Day 9: Kalahari (190 km)
Our destination today is the edge of the Kalahari! You accommodation for the last night in Namibia offers rugged beauty of the Namibian landscape. Enjoy stunning views of the bushveld and game roaming at a nearby waterhole or can be discovered on an optional nature/game drive with the lodge.
Overnight: Africa Safari Lodge – Breakfast
Day 10: (480 km)
After breakfast, we say goodbye with a heavy heart. Via the villages of Mariental and Rehoboth, we take the asphalt road back to the central plateau. The endless sky and the bush savannah show themselves once again from their best side before we arrive back in the bustling capital Windhoek. Depending on whether the journey continues for you or whether home is calling, our guide will take you to your hotel or directly to the airport. Packed with unforgettable memories and experiences, it’s time to head home: See you next time!
