Table of Contents

Adventure Namibia

In the middle of nature

You will probably land at the international airport "Hosea Kutako", from where a first stop in Windhoek is recommended.

Close by you will find the volunteer center at Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can spend part of your trip and get many insights into the sanctuary. You will learn a lot about Namibian wildlife, get insights into treatments, help out and support a wonderful project in the process. 

Tasks may include feeding orphaned and injured animals, preparing them for life in the wild, maintaining the enclosures, and going on game counts. You will also get to meet the baboons during your stay and go on a baboon walk with them. Every day at Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary holds new adventures and you will gain many unforgettable experiences.

You can spend the night in comfortable safari huts, which are equipped with a bathroom under the open sky. The time in the sanctuary is a great start to your adventure, because here you can really switch off and focus on the animals.

Adventure in Windhoek

After spending several days in the sanctuary, you can continue your trip in Windhoek. A city and township tour is highly recommended if you want to explore the city in detail. You can also visit a local market and try braii. Here you will find numerous restaurants that offer delicious food with which you can strengthen yourself for your upcoming adventures.

Back to nature

The next stop on your round trip is Etosha National Park. In this vast game reserve, you can observe all kinds of wildlife. At the waterholes you can look out for zebras, rhinos, giraffes and many more. There are many adventures lurking in this special place, so it is a good idea to spend the whole day there. The breathtaking landscapes are guaranteed to amaze you! Here you can spend the night in a lodge and enjoy an open fire dinner overlooking another waterhole. You can hardly get closer to nature!

The Big 5 

It's worth getting up early, I promise! Because in the morning you have the best chance to see all the animals that live in this area. While the sun slowly becomes visible on the horizon and rises, you make your way through the national park and can enjoy a fantastic view: The morning light bathes the surroundings in a warm golden glow and makes the park shine.

Seeing the Big 5 is definitely one of the reasons you came to Namibia, and seeing them is the goal of today's adventure. At Etosha Pan, a huge dried up salt pan, you can look out for the Big 5: Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant and African Buffalo. 

This experience is absolutely unforgettable and is sure to quickly rise to become one of the most memorable moments of your life. You can spend the rest of the day celebrating with lunch, and cool off in the pool from the warm African sun before taking a final drive through the national park.

Adventure Namibia

Explore culture

To immerse yourself in the culture of the country, a trip to Damaraland is recommended. On the way to Swakopmund you can meet Herero, Himba & Damara ladies. They sell handmade arts and crafts, the proceeds of which support the rural communities. 

Take the chance to have a look at the highest mountain in Namibia and explore the remains of an old shipwreck on the way along the Skeleton Coast.

In the afternoon you will arrive in the small coastal town of Swakopmund. You can then explore the town and spend the evening in a nice restaurant by the sea, while reviewing your adventures in Namibia so far.

Ready for action?

The surrounding area offers a choice of activities. For example, you can choose to go sandboarding or quad biking and really work out before continuing on to your next adventure. The drive takes you through the vast Namib Desert and crosses the Tropic of Capricorn in Solitaire.

When you reach your destination, don't miss the breathtaking view of the Naukluft mountain range, which you can enjoy for example during a sunset walk.

Surreal views 

For today's adventure in the Namib-Naukluft National Park, we again recommend that you get up very early. It's best to leave at dawn to arrive at sunrise, when this amazing place is bathed in shimmering gold and red light. The already breathtaking landscape of a vast salt pan with wide dunes looks especially beautiful at this time of day.

With a 4×4 shuttle you can drive to Sossusvlei to hike from there to Dead Vlei. A place that seems almost surreal awaits you. Dead Vlei is a large expanse of sun-bleached, cracked clay and skeletal camel thorn trees that rise out of the earth in contrast to the backdrop of massive dunes. 

Another adventure awaits you at Dune 45, because this dune is open for climbing. If you have ever climbed in the sand uphill, you know that you have a strenuous path ahead of you, but which is absolutely worthwhile. Because once you reach the top, you'll have a 360° view of the surrounding area and the dunes next to it. You may see some wild animals such as springboks, which are very common here.

One last highlight

After all these adventures in Namibia, your round trip is already coming to an end. On the way back to Windhoek, there is still room for one more adventure. You can make a stop in Solitaire, where you will be driven in an open vehicle through the local cheetah conservation project. Here, several cheetahs are being cared for that, for various reasons, cannot be released back into the wild. You will have the chance to learn a lot about these animals and view them extensively.

The scenic return trip should bring you to Windhoek around afternoon, where you can enjoy a last evening and once again see the taste typical namibian cuisine can.
