Our Tailor-made suggestions for this itinerary are:

  • Add an extra week to this southern itinerary and explore the North. Visit Swakopmund, - Damaraland and Etosha and enjoy some of Namibia's big game.
  • Fly from Windhoek to Maun in Botswana and stay in the Okavango Delta for three nights. - With rivers, lakes and floodplains packed with colourful water birds and big game this is a total contrast to the desert environment of Southern Namibia.

Highlights of this itinerary

  • Sit on the lip of the Fish River Canyon and enjoy the spectacular views.
  • Explore the diamond ghost town of Kolmanskop.
  • Climb the dunes at Sossusvlei.

Day by Day

Day 1London

Fly from London to Johannesburg overnight.

Day 2Johannesburg - Windhoek

In Johannesburg you will connect onto a flight to Windhoek. You`ll be met by our representatives and driven to your guesthouse for the night. You will have your car delivered to your guesthouse and our representatives will talk you through your trip and routing. This afternoon either relax beside the pool or explore some of the capital.

Day 3Windhoek - Southern Kalahari

This morning you might want to stop off at a super market to buy some provisions for your journey. Leaving Windhoek you will start your journey south driving towards the Southern Kalahari where you will overnight. This drive will take around 3-4 hours.

Day 4Southern Kalahari - Fish River Canyon

After breakfast drive to Fish River Canyon - the drive will take around 6 hours. Arriving at the lodge some time this afternoon you will have the chance to enjoy a sundowner drive or perhaps some walking in the area. Any activities can be paid for locally.

Day 5Fish River Canyon

Today you will have a full day to explore the dramatic Fish River Canyon. You may like to arrange some hiking down in to the canyon with a guide.

Day 6Fish River Canyon - Aus

From Fish River Canyon you will drive to the small town of Aus. Close by to your lodge are the wild horses that Aus is famous for.

Day 7Aus - Luderitz

Today you can explore Luderitz and enjoy a tour around the old mining town of Kolmanskopp. This is a great area for photography - the houses are the last remaining memory of `Millionaires Avenue` which are now derelict and filled with sand.

Day 8Aus - Sossusvlei

Today you will head north towards the Namib Desert. On your way to the lodge you will pass through the spectacular NamibRand nature reserve where the dunes change from light yellow to rich red. This evening you will be staying at your lodge in the Sossusvlei area.

Day 9Sossusvlei

Today I recommend a visit to the giant dunes at Sossusvlei where you will have the chance to explore the area on foot. Excursions can be arranged through the lodge or you can drive yourselves to the dunes and then take a shuttle for the remaining distance on the sand. If driving yourselves I recommend an organised picnic lunch for you to enjoy under the shade of the trees at the bottom of the dunes.

Drive from Sossusvlei north to Corona Guest Farm in the Naukluft Mountains. Here you will be able to relax and enjoy some of the self-guided hiking trails in the mountains.
