Amazing Namibia

Our amazing journey begins in Cape Town where we spend two nights. Right after the breakfast we embark on a spectacular day tour around the Cape Peninsula taking in all the highlights such as the visit of African Penguin colony. We travel through charming fishing villages and awesome viewpoints on our way to Cape Point, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. We say good bye to Cape Town and travel north towards our first campsite in Citrusdal. On our way we stop at Table Bay to take pictures of Table Mountain and carry on further so we can admire the beauty of Cederberg region. Tonight we will enjoy a wine tasting and try our first traditional South African meal.

We wake up early this morning and continue north to our camp situated by the Orange river, which forms the border between South Africa and Namibia. Next morning there’s a chance to see the beautiful river valley by canoe or just relax at camp. Afterwards we cross the border and travel to Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon in the world. After the incredible photo opportunity we enjoy our dinner while watching the sunset at the edge of the canyon.

After a long day on the road we arrive in the Namib-Naukluft National Park where we enjoy a short hike into the Sesriem Canyon. Next morning we wake up very early to watch a spectacular sunrise from towering red sand Dune 45. After our hike, we visit one of the most iconic sceneries on the planet - Deadvlei. Before sunrise we join a local expert and learn about how the Bushmen survived in the harsh desert conditions.

On our way to Swakopmund we make stop at the Walvis Bay to spot the flamingos. For the next two nights we put our tents aside and stay accommodated in this coastal town, where we have plenty of opportunities to experience adrenalin activities such as Sky Diving, Quad Biking or Dolphin Cruise. If you are not participating in any activities, a walk around Swakopmund’s shops is also a good way to spend your day. We leave the Atlantic Ocean and drive to Spitzkoppe, a huge granite peaks rising out of the desert. After setting our camp right at the base of the mountain we go for a guided walk to explore the area of magnificent unique rock formations. There will be a perfect opportunity to try horse-back riding.

Today we have the opportunity to visit a local community, Himba tribe. Since the 16th century they have lived in scattered settlements, leading a life that has remained unchanged, surviving war and droughts. The tribal structure helps them live in one of the most extreme environments on earth.

We break down our tents and head towards the famous Etosha National Park, the place with the most unique game viewing experiences in Africa. In the next two days we will experience various game drives and have an amazing opportunity to watch the animals drinking from waterhole just a few steps from our camping site.
