DAY 1 TO DAY 2 (APPROX. 50 KM):

WINDHOEK

Welcome to the capital. Windhoek is the economic and political center of Namibia. The city is situated in the Windhoek Basin, the approximate geographical center of the country, bordered by the Eros Mountains in the east, the Auas Mountains in the south and the Khomas Highlands in the west. The name Windhoek is Afrikaans and is derived from "windy corner".
The colonial past and the influence of the German language and culture can be felt in many areas. Worth seeing are the monumental Supreme Court building, the Namibian National Museum in the "Alte Feste", the Christuskirche, the "Tintenpalast" parliament building and much more.

The House on Olof Palme is located in an upmarket and quiet part of Windhoek near the Erosberg mountains. The house is lovingly and personally managed by the owners. The pool in the green courtyard is a wonderful place to relax. (7 rooms: bath/WC, TV, W-Lan, minibar, air conditioning, safe and private entrance. Guest house: lounge, coffee and tea station, terrace, pool, garden)

DAY 2 TO DAY 4 (APPROX. 280 KM):

SESRIEM

The star dunes of the vlei, which reach a height of up to 300 meters, are among the highest sand mountains in the world. Especially in the early morning, the sun's rays create an indescribable play of colors on the sand of the dunes. The dead, almost 500-year-old trees in Dead Vlei, which is a sandy clay and salt pan adjacent to Sossusvlei that no longer receives any water, are bizarre. Dead Vlei is reached after a strenuous walk through the dunes. If you have a 4×4 vehicle, you can drive to the dunes yourself; with a "normal" car, you have to change to a shuttle vehicle at the end. Alternatively, the lodges offer guided drives into Sossusvlei. Another attraction in the park is the Sesriem Canyon, which is located at the entrance to the Sossusvlei dune area and can be explored on foot.

Desert Homestead Lodge is located about 30 kilometers southeast of the entrance to Sossusvlei. It lies in the middle of a 7,000-hectare private nature reserve. From the lodge you can enjoy an impressive panoramic view. Feel at home and experience the informal natural hospitality. For a fee, you can take part in a Sossusvlei excursion, horseback riding, nature tours or guided hikes (English-speaking and with other participants). If you prefer to explore the area on your own, you can also hike alone. (28 chalets: bathroom/WC, mosquito net, air conditioning (with solar power, limited use), terrace, fan.

Your destination is Swakopmund, located north of the mouth of the Swakop River on the Atlantic Ocean. The town was once the gateway to German South West Africa and the most important port at the time. Today, Swakopmund is an important recreation and vacation center, rich in beautiful colonial architecture. Swakopmund can easily be discovered on foot, visit the Woermannhaus, the landing stage, the lighthouse, the old district court, the railroad station or the Swakopmund Museum. There is also a lot to discover outside the town, such as desert tours or boat trips in Walvis Bay. Those who prefer more action can also go skydiving, quad biking or sandboarding.

The At the Sea Boutique Guesthouse in Swakopmund is located right next to the beach. The town with its numerous restaurants and historic buildings is just a few minutes' walk away. (Guesthouse: lounge, garden, pool, terrace, WLAN. 8 rooms: WC/shower, balcony/terrace, fridge, tea/coffee station, hairdryer, safe, TV).

DAY 6 TO DAY 7 (APPROX. 150 KM):

USAKOS

Spitzkoppe is an inselberg 120 km east of Swakopmund that towers 700 meters above its surroundings. Due to its striking shape, it is also known as the "Matterhorn of Namibia" and is one of the most photographed mountains in the country. Spitzkoppe was formed by an intrusion that did not reach the earth's surface. Over the course of millions of years, the surrounding cap rock weathered away and only the hard granite of the intrusion remained. This is also the site of the millennia-old rock paintings, the most famous of which is the Bushman's Paradise. However, these paintings have been largely destroyed by vandalism.

Spitzkoppen Lodge is situated on the north side of the Spitzkoppe between huge rocks. From the main building and the pool, you can enjoy a sweeping view as far as the Brandberg. The stylish, cozy and nature-friendly lodge invites you to relax and unwind. Unwind here or explore the landscape on foot on your own. You also have the opportunity to take part in various activities such as horse riding, bike tours or hikes for a fee (the tour language is English and takes place with other participants, booking only possible on site).

TWYFELFONTEIN

Twyfelfontein is located in Damaraland, an often untouched and very hot (semi-)desert landscape. The ancient rock carvings depicted here were made by the Bushmen. The engravings are located on a series of smooth rock slabs and mostly depict hunting scenes and animals. They were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. Also worth a visit nearby are the so-called Organ Pipes and the Burnt Mountain as well as the Living Museum of the Damara and the Petrified Forest, which is around 55 kilometers away. An animal highlight of Damaraland are the desert elephants, which roam an area between the dry rivers of the Ugab and the Huab. With a bit of luck, you may spot the animals during a guided game drive.

Camp Kipwe is situated in the Twyfelfontein Nature Reserve at the foot of the "Rag Rock", an imposing granite formation. The lodge is perfectly embedded around the rocks and in the landscape. Refresh yourself in the rock pool or enjoy a view of the endless expanse of Damaraland from the outside deck of your bungalow.
