Namibia Higlights Self Drive (NAMH)

22 days / 21 nights start and end Windhoek

Etosha, Damaraland, Skeleton Coast, Sossusvlei, Fish River, Kalahari: experience the rich wildlife and spectacular desert scenery of Namibia.

Our suggested self drive itinerary takes you to some of Namibia's most beautiful spots. Starting from Windhoek and head north to Etosha National Park. Game is plentiful in Etosha and you will never tire of driving out to into the park to view the animals, or sitting quietly by the camp spotlit waterholes as rhino and lions come to drink after dark.

After plenty of game viewing your journey continues on into the semi-desert area of Damaraland. The world heritage site at Twyfelfontein has an extremely high density of bushmen rock engravings. Then it is on to the coast where you will visit the seal colony at Cape Cross before spending some time in the town of Swakopmund. After relaxing or joining one of the many adventure activities – quad biking, sandboarding, wildlife cruises in Swakopmund you continue southwards deep into the Namib Desert.

One of the highlights of your trip is likely to be the sand dunes at Sossusvlei. The light over the vast sea of dunes is most stunning at sun rise and sunset and it's well worth making an extra effort to get out and explore before the heat kicks in. From here you continue southwards through the Namib Naukluft Park towards the southern coastal town of Luderitz. After visiting Luderitz and the ghost town of Kolmanskop there is one last stop at the Fish River Canyon, often compared to America's Grand Canyon, before returning to Windhoek, breaking the journey at a relaxing lodge in the Kalahari Desert.

This itinerary is entirely tailorable. We can add or remove places and days, change the accommodation used and design the tour exactly to suit your individual requirements.
