To get an overview, your first excursion should be to Table Mountain. A drive along Chapmans Peak Drive, an impressive coastal road that leads past the penguin colony at Boulders Beach to the Cape of Good Hope, is also a must. On the way, you can visit the oldest wine estates on the Cape in Constantia. The V&A Waterfront is inviting with its countless stores and restaurants. The ferries to the former prison island of Robben Island also depart from here.

This beautifully renovated Victorian villa is centrally located in the suburb of Sea Point. Restaurants, cafés and the coastal promenade are all within walking distance.

The scenically impressive mountain ranges offer unique hiking opportunities. The second oldest city in the country has a beautiful historic city center with many listed buildings in the Cape Dutch architectural style. Cafés, restaurants and boutiques invite you to stroll and linger. Thanks to the local university, Stellenbosch is a very lively and young city, despite its historical background.

You will stay in the Villa Grande Guest House, an elegant and lovingly renovated villa from the 1920s, which is centrally but quietly situated in a cul-de-sac in Stellenbosch. Restaurants, cafes, boutiques, the botanical gardens and the historic town center are all within walking distance. Countless wine estates can be reached in less than 15 minutes by car.

DAY 7 TO DAY 8 (APPROX. 350 KM):

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 sea of flowers of various plants and colors from 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 Spinrgbok, 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. Some mammals such as leopards, porcupines and klipspringers are also at home here.

Mountain View Guest House, as the name aptly describes, is situated high on the hill overlooking the quaint and bustling small town of Springbok, the center of the Northern Cape. Stores, restaurants and a variety of tourist attractions are only minutes away. Mountain View Guest House offers both bed and breakfast and self-catering accommodation. It has 10 suites, all stylishly furnished and decorated.

FISH RIVER EAST

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.

The village-like buildings of Canyon Village are scattered among the scattered piles of rocks as if they had grown out of the ground. The comfortable Cape Dutch-style bungalows offer a view of the vast canyon landscape. The thatched main building is built directly into mighty granite rocks. Dozens of murals tell the stories and culture of the former inhabitants of this area, the Bondelswart-Nama. Take a hike or a panoramic tour offered by the lodge for a fee. (42 rooms: bath/WC, air-conditioning, heating, safe, bar, mosquito net, tea and coffee making facilities. Lodge: pool, restaurant, bar).

DAY 10 TO DAY 12 (APPROX. 390 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.

TIRASBERGE

The Tiras Mountains are still a real insider tip for hiking enthusiasts, nature lovers and for people who simply want to relax in beautiful surroundings. The fascinating landscape with endless expanses, undisturbed nature, mountains, plains and unsurpassable color variations as well as a breathtaking night sky can be hiked through, painted and photographed.
The Tiras Mountains area is home to many farms that also accommodate tourists. You should not expect high standards here, but you will experience rustic accommodation and Namibian hospitality, characterized by uniqueness and solitude.

Namtib Desert Lodge is nestled in a valley of the Tiras Mountains, on the edge of the Namib Desert and covers an area of 16 400 hectares. It offers accommodation in typical Namibian farm style. The focus of your time here is relaxation and recreation. However, there is also the opportunity to take part in nature tours, bird watching or various hikes (on your own or guided for a fee - English-speaking and with other participants).

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.

You will spend the night at Desert Quiver Camp, which is situated approx. 5 km from the entrance to Sossusvlei and thus offers you a short distance to Namibia's incomparable dune world. From your chalet you have an impressive panoramic view of the mountain world. You can book further optional activities on site. Meals are taken at Sossusvlei Lodge, 5 kilometers away, or you can order a barbecue box or dinner, which is then delivered by the lodge. (24 chalets: bath/WC, terrace, barbecue, kitchenette, fridge. Hotel: bar, pool).

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.

Meike's guest house is centrally located in the old town center of Swakopmund. All sights are within easy walking distance. Despite its proximity to the center, the stylish guest house offers peace and seclusion and invites you to feel at home.

Omaruru is situated on the north-eastern edge of the Erongo Mountains, which invites you to hike and explore with its fascinating rock formations, caves and rock paintings. Countless animal and bird species also await you. The rock formations are particularly beautiful at sunrise and sunset, when the sun transforms everything into glowing colors. The history of Omaruru is closely linked to the history of the West Herero. Later, German settlers also became interested in this region and established farms, which are now run as guest farms for tourists. The town itself is considered the Namibian center of viticulture and two wineries invite you to visit. There is also a chocolate factory and numerous artists who can be seen at work in their workshops.

The Otjohotozu guest farm is located about 15 kilometers east of Omaruru. The hosts and owners run the farm in a loving and informal manner. Virtually no wish remains unfulfilled here.

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.

The north-east of Botswana offers great sights. The Chobe National Park and its proximity to the Victoria Falls have made Kasane a tourist hub. Chobe National Park is home to huge herds of elephants and an area full of scenic contrasts. Boat trips on the Chobe River are a must here!
In the dry months from May to October, many animals, especially the large herds, gather along the river to quench their thirst or to bathe. During the rainy season, from November to April, when the water is also in the seasonal pans, the wild animals spread throughout the national park. This is a great time for birdwatchers, as many migratory birds are also found at the water's edge alongside the local birds. In November and December, the young animals are born and with the onset of rain, the park blossoms with beautiful wildflowers.
The lodges at Ngoma Bridge are not far from Kasane, but are situated in a region of the Chobe National Park where there are only a few lodges. This part of the park has little traffic and therefore guarantees exclusive experiences.

Chobe Elephant Camp is situated high up on a cliff overlooking the famous Chobe River. The lodge was built exclusively from sandbags. The thick sand-filled walls form a natural insulation between the residents and the heat of the African sun and give the camp the atmosphere of an old farmhouse. (12 rooms: shower/WC, outdoor shower, veranda. Lodge: dining area, lounge, bar, boma, pool).
