Day 01

Windhoek (±50km)

Windhoek, Namibia

Upon arrival at Hosea Kutako International Airport, you will be welcomed by an Oshana Transfer and Tours representative for a detailed briefing on your African adventure. After collecting your vehicle, you travel through scenic mountainous terrain to Windhoek, Namibia’s capital city.

Set in the valley of the Auas Mountains, Windhoek is the country’s largest city and offers a unique blend of modern and traditional cultures, making it the perfect starting point for your journey.

Overnight: Terra Africa Guest House

Day 02

Kalahari Desert (±270km)

Kalahari Anib Lodge

Today we travel into the vast Kalahari Desert, often referred to by the Bushmen as the “Soul of the World.” This immense sand basin is characterised by deep red dunes, endless grass plains, and scattered acacia trees.

In the afternoon, enjoy a scenic sundowner drive, where the contrast between green vegetation and red sands creates a breathtaking landscape. Discover the specially adapted wildlife that thrives in this unique desert environment.

Overnight: Kalahari Anib Lodge

Day 03

Fish River Canyon (±440km)

Fish River Canyon, Namibia

After breakfast, we travel to the spectacular Fish River Canyon, the second-largest canyon in the world. Take in its dramatic scenery during a scenic walk along the canyon ridge.

After exploring this natural wonder, return to your lodge and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure, with optional activities available.

Overnight: Canon Lodge

Day 04

Klein Aus Vista (±360km)

Klein Aus Vista, Namib Desert, Namibia

Today we travel to the Succulent Karoo Desert, in search of the famous wild horses of the Namib. These horses, believed to date back to the Second World War, have adapted remarkably to the harsh desert conditions.

Following seasonal rains, the desert transforms into a vibrant display of wildflowers, making it one of the most biologically diverse desert ecosystems in the world.

Optional afternoon nature drives offer further opportunities to explore this unique landscape.

Overnight: Klein Aus Vista Desert Horse Inn

Day 05 & 06

Sossusvlei (±260km)

Sossusvlei & Sesriem Canyon, Namibia

We journey into the Namib Desert, the oldest desert on earth, travelling through sweeping plains and mountain ranges. Our lodge is located near the iconic Sossusvlei and Sesriem Canyon.

At sunrise, the towering dunes transform into shades of red, orange, and gold, creating a truly unforgettable spectacle. Explore this dramatic landscape before visiting Sesriem Canyon, carved over centuries by natural forces.

Overnight: Namib Desert Lodge

Day 07 & 08

Swakopmund (±350km)

Swakopmund, Namibia (via Kuiseb Canyon & Walvis Bay)

Travelling via the Kuiseb Moon Valley, we head to the Atlantic coast and arrive in Swakopmund, a charming town nestled between desert and ocean.

Enjoy time exploring the town, visiting restaurants, shops, and beaches. Highlights include sightings of flamingos, seals, dolphins, and pelicans in Walvis Bay.

Optional activities include a catamaran dolphin cruise, where you can enjoy close encounters with marine life, fresh oysters, and sparkling wine on board.

Day 07

Departure (±335km)

Windhoek, Namibia (via Okahandja)

Today we travel back to Windhoek via Usakos, Karibib, and Okahandja. The drive to the airport takes approximately one hour from the city.

After returning your rental vehicle, you will proceed to Hosea Kutako International Airport for your departure flight, marking the end of your Namibian journey.
