What we'll do

Day 1: Windhoek - Olive Groove Guesthouse

If you arrived on a morning flight, you have the afternoon at your own leisure to explore the city and its German architecture. Included: Bed & Breakfast

Day 2 & Day 3: 2x nights at Desert Hills Lodge, Namib Desert

Luxury in the vastness of the desert... One of Namibia’s finest experiences is visiting the Dunes of Sossusvlei, Sesriem canyon and the Naukluft Mountains, and this is where you are heading early this morning after breakfast, where you will indulge in 2 nights of pure luxury at Desert Hills Lodge.

The lodge is located 30km from the Naukluft Gate. and 60km from Sossusvlei.

Day 4 & Day 5: 2 x nights at Villa Margherita, Swakopmund

Ocean and desert adventure charm... Your next stop is in Swakopmund, which is the largest coastal resort in Namibia and was established by German colonists in 1892. The origins are quite distinct in beautiful old German buildings throughout the city, which is sitting at the edge of the Namib Desert. Swakopmund is the gateway to adventure in the desert and this includes sand boarding, quad biking, sky diving and much more.

Villa Margherita, The Charming House, is an antique colonial villa in the heart of Swakopmund and offers unique accommodation, seclusion and personalized service under Swiss management. Included: Bed & Breakfast

Day 6 & Day 7: 2 x night's at Erongo WILD, Erongo

Untamed Wilderness awaits you... The Erongo Mountain range is formed millions of years ago on a volcanic ruin. It offers beautiful rock formations and landscapes and is the perfect playground for photographers. Ancient Rock Art can also be discovered in this area.

Erongo Mountain Winery for some Namibian experience. If you don’t associate Namibia with fine wines ... you have a rather unique opportunity to see what’s there. And of equal interest, see what a wine tour is like when it is fully customized by Namibians. And involves wine tasting! I think it is safe to say that this wine tour will be going where no wine tour (anywhere) has gone before! And will be tasting the undiscovered! Give it a go! Included: Dinner, Bed & Breakfast

Day 8 : 1 nights at Etosha Village Lodge, Etosha South

Etosha National Park is Namibia’s prime big 5 game reserve and is well-known for the Etosha-Pan. This Park is popular for excellent game viewing year-round, where an abundance of wildlife gathers around the many waterholes in the park. Included: Dinner, Bed & Breakfast

The areas with thicker vegetation are home to elephant (some of the largest in Africa due to the vitamins and nutrients found in the ground), the endangered black rhino and even leopard. Lions are camouflaged in the pale- golden color of the grasslands, while giraffes rise- high above most of the dry vegetation. Included: Dinner, Bed & Breakfast

Meeting point

Namibia offers space, silence, and the chance to really get away from it all: it’s the second least densely populated country on the planet, with only two people per square kilometer. You can dine and enjoy the Namibia best produce Wine in the Region surrounded by landscapes so vast and empty that at times you feel like you’re on the edge of the planet. In an overpopulated world, there aren’t many places left where you can immerse yourself as deeply in remote wilderness areas as in Namibia.

Most of our pick up at mostly at the Airport and we arrange accommodations from the first day to the last day
