Itinerary idea in detail

Includes international flights from a choice of UK airports, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

  • Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Windhoek.

  • On arrival in Windhoek, you will be greeted by a driver who will transfer you to your guesthouse in Windhoek. Your car will be dropped off directly at your guesthouse, where a representative will also meet you with a welcome pack, cool box, phone and driving directions, and answer any questions. The rest of the afternoon is then yours at leisure to relax.

  • Leaving Windhoek today, start your journey south, driving toward the Southern Kalahari where you will spend the night.

  • Today, after breakfast, drive to Fish River Canyon. Arriving at the lodge sometime this afternoon, you can enjoy a sundowner drive or perhaps some walking in the area.

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

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

  • Today you can explore Lüderitz and enjoy a tour around the old mining town of Kolmanskop. This is a great area for photography — the houses are the last remaining memory of 'Millionaires Avenue', which is now derelict and filled with sand.

  • You will head north toward the Namib Desert today. 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.

  • Today you can visit the giant dunes at Sossusvlei and 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.

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

  • A day to relax and explore the Naukluft Mountains.

  • You will drive from the Naukluft Mountains back to Windhoek today to meet your onward flights.

  • Arrive home today to complete your journey.
