Day 1:

You will be met at Hosea Kutako International Airport. After your arrival, we will take you to your guesthouse in Windhoek. The rest of the day is at your own disposal.

Day 2:

After breakfast, we will be heading southwards towards Sossusvlei. Indeed a fascinating salt and clay pan surrounded by dark-red sand dunes. The pan is adorned by dead trees reaching up into the steel-blue sky.

Ever morning tourists are climbing the highest sand dune in Sossusvlei, Namibia, Africa. The view from this highest dune over Sossusvlei is amazing at sunrise, but as well at the famous African sunset.

Day 3:

Sunrise in the highest dunes of the world is a sight not to be missed!

Another adventure will await us in Namibia. We will then proceed to the famous Walvis-Bay, visiting the lagoon with its many flamingos and pelicans. With a bit of luck, we will also see seals and dolphins in the waters of this old fishing town. Read in Anette’s journals to explore this beautiful country by reading and nature photographs.

Day 4:

We visit Swakopmund, a scenic beach resort, only about 30km from Walvis-Bay. The day is at your disposal. The German colonial influence can be seen in the architecture as well as typical culinary delicacies. These are indeed difficult to resist. Take a stroll on the beach promenade or relax at the beach. You can take a flight over the ever-changing dune-landscape at sunset, which is optional. We will return to our Walvis-Bay hotel in the evening.

Day 5:

Today, we head to Cape-Cross, a nature reserve that is home to one of the most significant fur seal colonies. We continue along the Skeleton Coast, perhaps spotting the one or other jackal. The shipwrecks that can be seen along with this coast bear witness to the tragedies that occurred here.

On our way, we might encounter giraffes or desert elephants walking in the endless desert of Namibia.

Day 6 and 7:

We will follow the tracks of the legendary desert elephants. With a bit of luck, we may also see desert lions.

Day 8:

We are driving north, we pass baobabs and quiver trees. Undoubtedly, this is the traditional area of the semi-nomadic and proud Himba people, who we may encounter on the way.

Our goal for this day is the imposing Epupa-waterfalls.

Day 9:

A further day is planned in this fascinating and unique location close to the border to Angola. As darkness sets in, we can admire the spectacular night sky.

Day 10 to 13:

The wild animals adventure in Namibia will take place. We explore the famous Etosha-National Park with its 114 different kinds of mammals and 340 different bird species. Setting out on safari at sunrise, we will return at around 10:00 o’clock for brunch. A second drive is scheduled for the afternoon when temperatures start dropping. The golden hour provides us with excellent photographic opportunities. With a bit of patience, good sightings can usually be made at the water holes. Water holes are frequently visited by some rare to find animals, as well as the elusive leopards. While exploring and looking for animals we might see the famous lion prides of the Etosha National Park. They always give us a fantastic display for impressive lion photography. The endless flat African Savannah and Salt Pan allow us to capture a majestic lion in the open plain.
