OTJIWARONGO

Otjiwa Safari Lodge is Namibia's oldest game farm and covers an area of over 12,000 hectares of savannah in the northern part of the country.
The lodges are a mix of modern design and upmarket safari chic. The warm African flair of the interior is also reflected in the famous Namibian hospitality with which guests are pampered.
Numerous activities such as game drives, night drives and guided bike tours in the reserve are offered for a fee. A special safari highlight for many is rhino tracking, where you approach the impressive colossi on foot with an experienced guide. Those seeking relaxation will certainly find what they are looking for in the spa area.

DAY 2 TO DAY 4 (APPROX. 225 KM):

ETOSHA ANDERSON GATE

The center of Etosha National Park, a huge encrusted salt pan, is undoubtedly impressive and can even be seen from space. The white area, as it was also called by the Bushmen, is surrounded by savannahs, bush and shrub forests, and in the west mountains rise up from the otherwise flat park. The numerous waterholes, some of which are artificial, are home to wild animals, especially during the long dry season. During the rainy season, water collects in the pan and the flamingos settle here to breed. The national park is home to an enormous variety of large and small animals. It is home to four of the Big Five (lion, rhino, elephant and leopard), as well as over 100 other mammal species and over 400 bird species and numerous reptiles and amphibians.
You can explore the Etosha National Park on your own in a rental car or on a guided safari.

The Etosha Safari Lodge is just a lion's leap away from the Anderson Gate of the Etosha National Park. Situated on a hill, it offers a magnificent view over the endless forests of mopane bush, rose thorn acacia and yellowwood trees. Enjoying a sundowner here is wonderful. The game drives in the Etosha National Park, which are offered by the lodge for a fee (English-speaking, with additional persons), promise further experiences. (65 rooms: bath/WC, air conditioning/heating, mosquito net, safe, coffee and tea maker, veranda, view. Hotel: restaurant, bar, lounge, wifi, sundowner deck with view, 3 pools)

DAY 3: ETOSHA ANDERSON GATE

HALF DAY ETOSHA GAME DRIVE

OPTIONALLY BOOKABLE FROM 75 € PER PERSON

You take part in an excursion in an open safari vehicle into the Etosha National Park. This is unique within Africa. The main feature of the park is the salt pan, which can even be seen from space. Despite this, there is an abundant wildlife population that congregates at waterholes, so animal sightings are almost guaranteed. In addition, Etosha National Park is one of the most accessible reserves in Namibia and Southern Africa. You can make breathtaking animal observations from your vehicle.

The tour takes about 3-4 hours and starts early in the morning.

The tour language is English and the tour is conducted with additional people.

This service can be booked for an additional charge.

DAY 4 TO DAY 6 (APPROX. 315 KM):

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. A nature tour with the chance to see desert elephants is offered for a fee, as well as an excursion to the highlights of Damaraland. (English-speaking and with other participants).

NATURE TOUR & DESERT ELEPHANTS

OPTIONALLY BOOKABLE FROM 85 € PER PERSON

You start your nature tour early in the morning (approx. 6 hours). This region is home to springbok or gemsbok, as well as the rare desert elephants, which you may be lucky enough to see during this tour. Desert elephants have adapted to life in the Namib over generations. In contrast to their relatives in the savannah, the birth rate of desert elephants has shifted by almost 50% and they have fewer offspring. Desert elephants can go three to four days without drinking water and they only drink about 100 liters of water, in contrast to the savannah dwellers, who drink up to 800 liters.

The tour starts early in the morning and lasts around 6 hours (English-speaking, with additional people).

This service can be booked for an additional charge.

DAY 6 TO DAY 8 (APPROX. 320 KM):

SWAKOPMUND

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 recreational 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 7: SWAKOPMUND

LIVING DESERT TOUR

The Living Desert Tour is a unique experience in four-wheel drive vehicles that shows you the impressive beauty of the Namib Desert and life in the desert. The coastal dune belt, which may seem barren and lifeless to some, is home to a fascinating variety of small animals that have adapted to the desert. They survive thanks to the fog that regularly drifts in from the cold Atlantic Ocean. During the tour, regular stops are made to look for tracks on the dunes (known as "reading the Bushman's newspaper") to see what animals have been at this spot the night before. Desert geckos, dancing spiders, scorpions, lizards, snakes, desert chameleons, legless lizards and a variety of beetles and insects are some of the creatures you may find on this tour.

The half-day tour starts at 8 am in Swakopmund (pick-up at the guesthouse) and ends there around 1 pm. The tour language is English and is conducted with other participants. (also available in German on request, subject to availability)

This excursion should be booked in advance during the high season, as places are rarely available at short notice.

DAY 8 TO DAY 10 (APPROX. 360 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.

SOSSUSVLEI EXCURSION

OPTIONALLY BOOKABLE FROM 135 € PER PERSON

With a total area of around 50,000 square kilometers, the Namib-Naukluft Park is Namibia's largest nature reserve. It covers a belt around 100 to 150 kilometers wide along the Namibian coastal desert, starting in the north at the Swakop River Valley and extending south to the B4 road to Lüderitz. Most of this vast area is inaccessible to humans. The Naukluft Mountains with their rugged rock massifs and deeply incised river valleys rise around 1000 meters above the surrounding area. The highest elevations reach 1949 meters.

With a guide and in a 4×4 vehicle, you head towards the gate before sunrise, which opens at sunrise. You will experience the large dunes, the Dead Vlei and the Sesriem Canyon. You return to the lodge in the late afternoon.

The tour language is English and is conducted with other people.

This service can be booked for an additional charge.

DAY 10 TO DAY 12 (APPROX. 450 KM):

LUEDERITZ

Lüderitz is a port city on the eastern South Atlantic. The town on Lüderitz Bay was founded on May 12, 1883 and named after the Bremen merchant Franz Adolf Eduard Lüderitz. Lüderitz is located on one of the few natural bays, the otherwise unreal Diamond Coast, which is characterized by the Namib Desert. The somewhat nostalgic, colorful little town with its lovingly restored houses from the Art Nouveau period with their playful half-timbered gables is dominated by the rock church.
Don't miss the ghost town of Kolmanskop, which was once built as a diamond prospecting camp. Guided tours are also offered to the restricted diamond area south of Lüderitz. As an alternative to the desert activities, boat tours are also offered. With a lot of luck, you may see large numbers of seals. Penguins also live in the bay, as well as whales and dolphins (depending on the time of year).

The Alte Villa is located close to the city center in a historic building. The charming colonial villa was recently renovated by its German owners in 2017 and lovingly furnished in painstaking detail. The beautiful garden and large sun terrace overlooking the bay invite you to linger. In winter, you can relax by the fireplace in the lounge. The 5 individually furnished rooms have a garden or sea view and a private bathroom with a bath or shower. There is a restaurant serving delicious lobster and mussels right in the Old Villa.

DAY 12 TO DAY 14:

FISH RIVER WEST

At around 650 km, the Fish River is the longest river in Namibia. It has its source in the eastern Naukluft Mountains and flows into the Orange at the South African border. The river, which rarely carries water, meanders through the famous Fish River Canyon. This is one of the most impressive natural beauties in the southern part of Namibia. With a depth of up to 550 meters, the Fish River Canyon is the second largest canyon in the world after the Grand Canyon in America. The canyon winds its way over a distance of around 160 kilometers through the rugged Koubis mountain range down to Ai-Ais. The canyon is dotted with pools fed by groundwater. This is the only reason why various antelope species and leopards can survive here.

Surrounded by unique quiver trees, the design of Fish River Lodge blends in perfectly with its surroundings. The interior is a mixture of traditional and modern furniture, many of the accessories are made in the workshops of the surrounding San and Nama tribes. Authenticity, comfort and simplicity as well as a breathtaking view characterize the unique ambience of the lodge. The lodge offers guided hikes, excursions into the canyon, fat bike tours and nature tours (English-speaking, with other participants) for a fee. (20 rooms: shower/WC, outdoor shower. Hotel: restaurant, two bars, pool).

DAY 13: FISH RIVER WEST

CANYON HIKE OR CANYON EXCURSION

OPTIONALLY BOOKABLE FROM 125 € PER PERSON

Today you will explore the Fish River Canyon.

You have the opportunity to explore the canyon on foot from April to October. You should bring a very good level of fitness for this hike, as the hike covers a distance of 16 km, during which you first descend into the canyon and then hike back up out of the canyon. Alternatively, you can do the day hike down into the canyon and choose to return in a pick-up.

As an alternative to the hike, a 4×4 vehicle will take you right into the heart of the canyon and although the descent is safe, it is guaranteed to get your heart rate up. An experienced guide will show you the geological features on your journey into the depths of the canyon. You'll see rough limestone, shiny quartz, fine shale and dramatic faults as 500 million years of history reveals itself.

For lunch (included) you stop at a rock pool, also ideal for a refreshing dip on warm days. Kudu, oryx, klipspringers and, with a bit of luck, mountain zebra can often be seen there.

SPRINGBOK

Springbok lies in the middle of a valley of rugged granite rocks. The town is the center of the diamond industry and the capital of Namaqualand. It seems to be a miracle when the gray-brown and dull landscape of the Namaqua National Park regularly transforms into a veritable sea of flowers of various plants and colors in the months of July to September. Every year after the winter rains, millions of bulbous plants and succulents sprout from the dry ground and decorate the landscape with an impressive beauty of blooming wildflowers. In the Namaqua National Park, about 50 kilometers south of Springbok, there are over 3,500 different plant species, many of which are endemic and only occur here. In addition to the picturesque splendor of the wildflowers and the occasional quiver tree, this reserve is also home to various bird species. Even some mammals such as leopards, porcupines and klipspringers are at home here.

The Naries Namakwa Retreat is beautifully situated in the Spektakelberg Mountains between Springbok and Kleinzee. This accommodation offers a good starting point for excursions to the Namaqua region and the Oranje River. The accommodation has a swimming pool, restaurant, bar and free Wi-Fi.
