Overview
On this 14 day self drive adventure to Namibia you will experience amazing destinations in the most remote areas in the country. Explore some of the highest dunes in the world and go in search of the famous dwelling adapted desert elephant. Experience the wildlife extravaganza on a safari in Etosha National Park and discover your adventurous side in Swakopmund.
Few countries in Africa can match Namibia’s sheer natural beauty. The country’s name derives from its (and the world’s) oldest desert, the Namib. From the sand, sea and perfect dead-tree valleys at Sossusvlei, to your own David Attenborough safari wildlife moments.
Located in North-Western Namibia, Etosha East is a protected sanctuary and one of the most accessible game reserves in Southern Africa. Etosha East boasts vast open plains scattered with semi-arid savannah grasslands and many watering holes. The park is teeming with an array of wildlife including lion, elephant, black rhino, and giraffe, as well as a variety of birdlife featuring flamingo, ostrich, eagle, hornbill, and owl.
Damaraland is an exceptionally scenic landscape featuring open plains, ancient valleys, ancient rock art, and spectacular rock formations. Major attractions include the sacred Spitzkoppe, the Brandberg, Twyfelfontein, Vingerklip and the otherworldly petrified forest.
Appropriate for this vast country with its epic landscapes, Sossusvlei still manages to feel isolated. The dunes appear other-worldly at times, especially when the light hits them during sunrise or sunset and are part of the 32,000-sq-km sand sea that covers much of the region. They tower as high as 325m and form part of one of the oldest and driest ecosystems on earth.
You’ll also visit the charming city of Swakopmund with its mix of German and Namibian influences, adventure options, laid-back feel, and cool sea breeze. Or Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, which is encircled by magnificent mountains, expansive valleys, fertile farmlands, lodges, and luxury guest farms. Namibia is the perfect bucket-list destination for photographers, animal lovers, and the adventurous.
