Day by Day

Day 1London

Fly overnight from London to Johannesburg.

Day 2Johannesburg - Windhoek

Connect with your flight from Johannesburg to Windhoek. Upon arrival in Windhoek you will be met and transferred to your guest house in town. Your car will be delivered to you this afternoon. This evening you may like to enjoy a meal in town.

Day 3Windhoek - Naukluft Mountains

Leaving Windhoek you will head south to the Naukluft Mountains - a drive of about 4 hours. I recommend you aim to get here around 3pm in time for an afternoon nature drive or scenic walk. Activities will be at an additional cost and can be paid for locally.

Day 4Naukluft Mountains

A full day to enjoy exploring the spectacular area. You may choose to join up with a guide and learn all about the geological rock formations or head out on foot by yourselves following the guided trails.

Day 5Naukluft Mountains - Sossusvlei

Today you will continue south to the Namib Desert where you will spend the next two nights. This drive will only take you 2 or 3 hours depending on how many stops you make. This afternoon you can enjoy a sundowner drive on the reserve or perhaps enjoy some horse riding. Activities will be at an additional cost and can be paid for locally.

Day 6Sossusvlei

A full day to enjoy the wonders of the Namib Desert and its massive sand dunes. You can leisurely stroll through the shifting shapes or tackle one of the bigger dunes and try to climb it. Lunch under a shady tree will be the reward for whatever you decide to do in the Vlei.

Day 7Sossusvlei - Swakopmund

After breakfast you will drive yourselves north to Swakopmund situated on the Atlantic coast. This afternoon you can explore the town or enjoy an activity - perhaps some quad biking through the dunes.

Day 8Swakopmund

Today you will enjoy some kayaking with seals and dolphins off Pelican point. This cost is included within the itinerary. This is a great excursion to do and will offer you the chance to get close and personal with the mischievous creatures. There are plenty of other excursions to enjoy as well such as a guided trip to Sandwich Harbour, Birding tours, or a living desert tour.

After a leisurely morning you will drive back to Windhoek for your overnight stop.

Early this morning you will drive yourselves to Windhoek airport in time for your flight over to Botswana.
