Among other things, you will be informed about the condition of the roads, speed limits and traffic rules. You will get maps and important phone numbers and a short briefing about your route.

Your first drive will take you from the bustling capital to the endless expanses of the Kalahari Savannah. Namibia is only a part of the vast sandy area, which also extends to neighboring countries such as Botswana and Zambia. There, beautiful nature and the magnificent animals of Africa are waiting for you! You will be amazed at the diversity of species you will encounter despite the drought, the animals have adapted perfectly to the habitat. Meet the indigenous people, also called "San People". Kalahari is very diverse and will definitely be one of your travel highlights!

Sesriem Oshana Campsite
Your highlight today: Relax on the beautiful coast of Namibia!
Today you are going to the beautiful Namibian sea! On your way to relax on the sandy beach, however, there are still some highlights waiting for you, which are definitely worth a stop. Before you set off, you could visit the impressive Sesriem Canyon. After you have started your route today, the small settlement of Solitaire is waiting for you after about an hour's drive. There is a very famous bakery where you can take a break. In addition, if necessary, you should take the last refueling opportunity here. On your onward journey, you will cross the Namib-Naukluft National Park. Afterwards you go to the coast, with the first place Walvis Bay, there you can observe thousands of Flamigos at the coast. From there you can enjoy a drive along the coast to Swakopmund. Once you arrive in the former German colony, a beautiful beach awaits you, where you can completely relax and enjoy the sun's rays.

Your highlight today: Immerse yourself in millennia of history!
On today's day of your journey you will head further north, first a 50-minute drive along the coast to Henties Bay awaits you. Enjoy the view of the beautiful sea once again before returning to the equally impressive nature of the interior. You will cross the Omaruru River, which only flows during the rainy season. If you wish, you can stop at the rather quiet place. On your way you will also cross the Tsiseb Conservancy, a nature reserve, where you will find the highest mountain in Namibia, a breathtaking nature as well as many wild animals. In Twyfelfontein millennia of history await you! Marvel at seemingly endless rock carvings and rock paintings of the National Monument, which date back to the Stone Age. For safety reasons to protect the World Heritage Site, visits are accompanied by a guide. Also highly recommended is a visit to the Damara Living Museum, a place to learn about and remember Namibia's indigenous people, the Damara. You will be immersed in the fascinating culture and make an important contribution to the Damara community.

Mowani Mountain Campsite
Your highlight today: Experience the animals up close!

Okaukuejo Campsite
Your highlight today: Marvel at the endless expanses of the gigantic Etosha Pan!
You will spend two more days in the huge and exciting national park. A drive of about 70 kilometers will bring you to Halali, which is located at the gigantic Etosha Pan. A few million years ago an inland lake was formed there. Nowadays, in particularly rainy years, you are lucky enough to have some water collecting there, attracting thousands of flamingos and other waterfowl. The extent of the salt pan is immense, about 120 kilometers long and 50 kilometers wide, it seems almost infinite. Definitely a must-see on a Namibia trip!
private transfer (about 70 km/1,5 hours)
Halali Campsite
The third and last day brings you after a two hour drive along the Etosha Basin to the east of the National Park, to Onguma.

Onguma Leadwood Campsite
Your highlight today: The green tropics of Namibia!
Today you will drive south to the Waterberg Plateau National Park. On the way you will pass the places Tsumeb, Grootfontein and Rietfontein, where you can also take a break. Each 20 minutes detour from Tsumeb or Grootfontein, you could view either the beautiful Guinassee or the Hoba Meteorite, the largest meteorite discovered on earth to date. When you arrive at the Waterberg Plateau National Park, pristine nature and unfortunate history await you. In 1904 German soldiers fought here against the Herero population, they had to flee and lived afterwards in a very dry area, where survival was hardly possible. The national park impresses with dreamlike nature from savannah to almost tropical area with a lot of green. The variety of animals is therefore also very diverse, so there are giraffes, leopards, antelopes or also the extremely rare vulture species, the Cape vulture, as well as many other animals. In addition, the highlight, a 2-hour Cheetah Conservation Fund CCF tour, is waiting for you.
private transfer (approx. 300 km/4 hours)
Waterberg Plateau Campsite
Your highlight today: Experience the capital of Namibia!
Your last trip will be to the capital of Namibia, Windhoek. It is located in the center of the country and has many interesting sights to offer. Some have to do with the German occupation and Namibia's later independence. The Old Fortresses, for example, have a National Museum, a Lutheran Christ Church, the Equestrian Monument or the Independence Memorial Museum. It is also highly recommended to visit the Tukondjeni Market, with many local products or the Penduka Project, which supports women in Namibia.
