Arrive in Cape Town at any time.
Day 2 Lambert's Bay (B)
Travel to the picturesque Lambert's Bay area, where the diligent spotter may glimpse a humpback whale or dolphin offshore. In season, visit the well known “Bird Island” where you can find more than 25,000 Blue-eyed Gannets.
Day 3 Gariep River (B)
Travelling north, we have a good day's travel through this dry and remote portion of South Africa. In the mid-afternoon, we cross Namibia into a more aid region, and we stop at scenic Gariep River for the evening. Swim, relax, or take a ride down the river in a canoe.
Day 4 Fish River Canyon/Aus (B)
Journey to Fish River Canyon, the largest canyon in Africa, and take in the majestic beauty of the canyon, arguably the second largest in the world. Enjoy lunch in the area, and continue through the vast landscape north to Aus for the evening.
Day 5-6 Namib Desert (B,2D)
Head towards the incomparable Sossusvlei, a clay pan enclosed by the world’s largest sand dunes. Spend a full day exploring the dunes, and the natural wonders of this bizarre environment. Here you will really feel as though you’re in the middle of nowhere, or even on another planet!
Day 7-8 Swakopmund (2B)
Today you will really get a feeling for the Namib Desert, as you spend hours crossing this void region en route to the west coast of Namibia. We will spend two nights in the area, here you can explore this historical town, the surrounding lunar landscape, or try some of the numerous activities available, such as dune boarding or a dolphin cruise.
Day 9 Damaraland (B)
Look out over the beautiful desert landscapes as far as the eye can see as we begin moving north into the stony desert landscapes into Damarland. En route, if time allows, we’ll have a chance to visit some of the local attractions, such historic rock engravings, a petrified fossil forest, or see the “organ pipes”.
Day 10-11 Etosha National Park (B)
Etosha in waMbo means "the great white place of dry water". As one of Africa’s highlights, the Etosha National Park offers a variety of wildlife and phenomenal natural beauty. Explore the pans and the park on game drives, with excellent opportunities to spot lion, giraffe, elephant, hippo, and antelope.
Day 12 Windhoek
