To experience the magic of Namibia is to discover an entirely different world, a strange and beautiful place unlike anything or anywhere you’ve ever imagined. It is a place of contrasts, where sparse, arid, inhospitable, and other-worldly landscapes somehow support an incredible array of wildlife and a number of fascinating cultures. It is a place of seemingly endless horizons and perhaps the biggest skies you’ll ever see. It is a largely unspoiled place, with a total population of just over two million. It is a place of incredible geological and ecological diversity, with a rich natural and human history. The majestic dunes of Sossusvlei towering like burnt orange waves above you, the a myriad of wildlife congregating around the waterholes on the edges of the great moon-like expanse of Etosha Park. Ancient rock art tells tales of times gone by against the the dramatic backdrop of the landscapes of Damaraland, lush and wildlife-rich national parks teaming with safari adventures in the Zambezi Region – Namibia’s wilderness areas are the places to experience the true meaning of the great outdoors. A great journey and a real diving into South African life await you. This time we going to sleep in tents on the roof of our jeeps in official campsites, which are equipped with all the necessary facilities, and a couple of nights in comfortable hotels. We will travel exclusively by comfortable 4x4 off-road car, which will take us to the most inaccessible places. It will be a real road trip, where we will discover new locations, get to know ourselves, and enjoy every moment during the trip. It's a great feeling of freedom to be able to stop wherever you want during your travels. Make top photoshoots and shoot unreal road movies of your life.

About me! Hey there! My name is Vasyl, 30 years old and traveling is my passion and I enjoy organizing trips. I love meeting new people and exchanging cultures and languages. But the most important is to make people happy through traveling by creating unforgettable memories. I'll be your driver, hiking partner, motivator, plus hopefully a good friend during and after the trip.
Details about the accommodation: We will be staying in hotels, cabins and campsites. It will be a shared accommodation, but there will not be more than 2 people in the same room. But do not worry, this is always the best way to get to know other travelers, and who knows, you may even find a new best friend on this journey. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!

2
Sesriem
Day 2-4
After breakfast, we will stop by the supermarket to buy supplies of food. Then we leave Windhoek and drive through the Khomas Highland in a south-westerly direction towards the Namib Desert. Passing through beautiful landscapes, we finally reach our camp, home for the next two nights, close to Sesriem. We will enjoy the picturesque desert landscapes and at the end of the day cook a delicious dinner.
3
Deadvlei
Day 4
Let’s try to start the day as early as possible to see the early morning sun creating beautiful shadows on the enormous dunes of Sossusvlei. Gates to the park open at sunrise. We’ll climb one of the famous dunes such as Dune 45 or Big Daddy for some early morning exercise. It is a breathtaking experience seeing the sea of sand around you. Also, we will visit Deadvlei, a very photogenic spot of ancient dead trees. Thereafter we drive to the Sesriem Canyon where we can also do short hikes. After an adventurous day of exploring, we leave the park in the afternoon and return to the Camp.
4
Swakopmund
Day 4-6
Today’s journey on gravel roads takes us to the coastal town of Swakopmund where we can find beautiful pieces of colonial architecture. Swakopmund is also a base for adventure activities in the area – a dolphin cruise in Walvis Bay, a day trip into the desert, and to the seal colony at Cape Cross. We will spend two nights here.
5
Walvis Bay
Day 6
Early wake-up and we leave the town of Walvis Bay. Here we change to kayaks and head towards Pelican Point, in order to take a selfie with the seals, which will jump right into your kayaks! And also, we will see flocks of pelicans and dolphins. We return to the port, transfer to local jeeps and go to Sandwich Harbor together with the driver-guides. This place is unique in that the ocean meets the sand dunes here. We will drive along the coast, "fly" on the dunes, have a snack with an ocean view, and return to the city.
6
Mount Erongo
Day 6-7
After breakfast, we leave Swakopmund and travel inland. We will see the Spitzkoppe, one of Namibia’s most recognizable landmarks. Go for a walk and explore the imposing granite rock formations. Today’s destination will be the campsite in the Erongo Mountains. Lean back and enjoy the warm surrounding atmosphere.
7
Twyfelfontein campsite
Day 7-8
After breakfast, we will visit the living museum to get to know the culture and life of the Damara tribe. After that, we move to the Twyfelfontein valley, in order to see the ancient rock paintings of the Bushmen. In the afternoon, we go in search of local endemics - desert elephants. Unlike their counterparts, local elephants have adapted to survive in desert conditions. Eating moisture-laden vegetation growing in riverbeds, they can go without drinking water for up to five days. Back at camp, lean back, and let’s round off the day at the crackling campfire.
8
Etosha National Park
Day 8-11
After breakfast, we leave for Etosha National Park. One of the largest national parks in Namibia. It is located on the northwestern edge of the Kalahari desert in the area occupied by the Etosha salt pan and the adjacent savannas. We check in at our campsite, set up our tents, get camping equipment and rest after a long move. Tomorrow we will need a lot of energy, as we will spend the whole day tomorrow on safari. During these two days, we will spend most of our time game viewing around the waterholes where elephants, giraffes, different species of antelope, and birds come to drink. With a bit of luck, we might even be able to spot lions and rhinos.
9
Waterberg
Day 11-12
Today’s journey will take us past a deep lake and a meteorite. Just outside Tsumeb, you can turn off to visit the bright blue Lake Otjikoto. Next on today’s list is the 60-ton Hoba Meteorite; at roughly 3×3 meters, it is the largest meteorite in the world. Your last stop in the campsite at the foot of the Waterberg Plateau. The Waterberg is a massive red plateau rising 200 meters above the surrounding plains. The variety of microclimates – mountain, valley, and plains – accommodates a variety of vegetation ranging from massive fig trees to ferns and acacia trees.
10
Windhoek
Day 12-13
Today we will continue south towards Windhoek. On our way, we will want to stop at the craft market in Okahandja. Here we can haggle and bargain for wood carvings, beaded jewelry, baskets, and other crafts. We check in and relax in a comfortable hotel after a busy program, and in the evening we gather for a farewell dinner in a local restaurant.
11
Windhoek
Day 13-14
Today is the last morning here, which we can spend in the city. Depending on when everyone has the flights, we will head to the airport to catch a flight back home. This is the end of our African adventure but the memories of an unforgettable time will always remain with us.
