6-day Dunes & Wildlife Experience - Group Accommodated

For people with limited time available, this fully accommodated combination of a 3-day Sossusvlei trip & 3-day Etosha trip is the perfect choice. Overnight in well-located lodges in and near Etosha National Park and outside Namib Naukluft National Park and includes 1 night at Swakopmund in between. You will be able to experience the amazing sand dune sea of the Namib and Sossusvlei region as well as Etosha National Park, renowned as one of the best.

ITINERARY

Windhoek to Etosha National Park

You will be collected from your guesthouse/hotels as 07:15 and brought to Chameleon Backpackers Lodge for the pre-departure talk and to meet the rest of the group. After the departure from Windhoek, you stop briefly at Otjiwarongo to gather some last minute supplies before continuing on to Etosha with a light lunch pack whilst “on the move”. You enjoy an afternoon game drive through the park visiting waterholes looking for predators as well as zebra, giraffe, elephant, rhino and many different species of antelope arriving at your lodge just before sunset and settle into your rooms, with en-suite bathroom and tea/coffee facilities. A visit to the flood lit waterhole is highly recommend while dinner is prepared by your guide over an open fire. Read more

Etosha National Park

Etosha National Park

You start your first game drive at sunrise to catch the predators while they are still active, visiting many waterholes. The second game drive mid-morning takes you to the impressive Etosha Pan where you can get out of the vehicle and experience this 4500 sq km “saline desert” before continuing your game drive to look for the Big 4. You arrive back at Halali where your guide will prepare a delicious lunch whilst you have a dip in the pool or relax by the camp waterhole. After lunch, you begin your final game drive across the park towards Okaukuejo calling into some well-known waterholes and leave the park prior to sunset. Accommodation tonight is just outside the park in a comfortable spacious twin share rooms with a modern en-suite bathroom facilities, creating an ideal space to sit back, relax and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. Fantastic dinner is prepared by your guide and another early night is recommended. Read more

Etosha National Park

Etosha to Swakopmund

Enjoy an early morning breakfast and departure from your lodge is at 07h30. The route today takes you into the dramatic and beautiful scenery of Damaraland. You have the chance to meet the wonderful Herero, Himba & Damara ladies who sell their handmade arts and crafts to support their rural families. A light roadside lunch is served en-route in the shadow of Namibia's tallest mountain, the Brandberg, and you can interact with some of the colourful local characters who live in this harsh environment. On the drive down the Skeleton Coast you explore the remains of a small shipwreck. You arrive in Swakopmund late-afternoon which gives you time to explore this quaint seaside town on foot (depending on the season). Your guide will be happy to recommend a good restaurant for dinner (own expense). Overnight accommodation is in twin share rooms with en-suite bathroom. Read more

Damaraland

Passes, the Tropic, and Namib-Naukluft

A leisurely breakfast and the option to join one of the many optional activities available here such as quad biking, sand boarding, scenic flight over the shipwrecks just to name a few. You will be picked up from your guesthouse/hotel in Swakopmund from 11h15, (wintertime 10h15) as we aim to depart Swakopmund by 12 noon. You are then driven through the Namib Desert via the Kuiseb Pass and Solitaire, arriving at your camp late afternoon and you have a chance to relax and enjoy the views before taking a short walk for sunset looking over the Naukluft mountain range. Overnight in twin rooms with en-suite bathroom facilities. Pool and bar available. Dinner prepared by your guide. Read more

Sesriem

Dunes, vleis, and a canyon

You drive down an ancient river bed surrounded by towering dunes to the 2x4 parking (around 55kms) and take a 4x4 shuttle into the Sossusvlei area to appreciate the beauty of this place in early morning light and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the region. You explore this unique area on foot before heading into Dead Vlei with its large expanse of bleached cracked clay and skeletal camel thorn trees, contrasting with a backdrop of huge dunes with their ever-changing colours before taking the 4x4 shuttle back to our vehicle. As you drive back to your accommodation we will stop at the famous Dune 45 and climb this dune if we wish or just wander around the base. You return to Sesriem and visit the nearby Sesriem Canyon, one of the few permanent water sources before arriving back at our lodge late afternoon to watch the sunset over this spectacular desert. Overnight in twin share rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Dinner prepared by your guide. Read more

Sossusvlei

Cheetah tracking and return to Windhoek

Early morning breakfast before heading to Solitaire Guest Farm where you join a biologist to track wild cheetahs at the N/a'ankuse Namib Conservation Centre.

For those that choose to fly today, No Flights Departing Prior To 17H00 in case there are unexpected delays returning from safari. NOTE: No single travelers rates applies if you are travelling alone and are ok sharing your tent with a same sex traveller on the tour.
