Day 1 – Welcome to Namibia!

You arrive early in the morning at Hosea Kutako International Airport. Don’t worry – the airport is small and easy to navigate; it’s virtually impossible to get lost.

At the exit, the car rental company will already be waiting to welcome you and show you your vehicle. For your trip, we have planned a Suzuki Jimny. Of course, an upgrade to a larger vehicle such as a Toyota Fortuner or a Hilux is possible before your trip.

From the airport, you will drive directly to your first accommodation – just about 25 km, ideal for getting settled in. Later, you can also drive into Windhoek to shop or explore a bit.

By the way, the guesthouse is located right in our neighborhood – we would be delighted to meet you there personally!

Currently included in the itinerary:
1 night, including breakfast

Day 2 – Kalahari

Off to the Kalahari – Red Sands & E-Bikes

The Kalahari is an impressive semi-desert in southern Africa, famous for its vivid red sand dunes, thorn bushes, and vast savannas. It is considered the largest continuous sand area in the world and, despite its dryness, supports surprisingly abundant wildlife – including oryx antelopes, springboks, and even cheetahs.

Here, you have many ways to experience the landscape actively:
How about a guided dune or night hike? Or an E-bike tour through the red sands – highly recommended! Those who prefer to explore on their own will also find beautiful, free hiking trails. Therefore, we have not pre-booked fixed activities for you here – you can decide spontaneously on-site what you feel like doing.

You will be accommodated in a comfortable self-catering tented lodge with views of the dunes – fully equipped with dishes, a refrigerator, and everything you need. You can prepare something delicious yourself or dine at the lodge’s restaurant. The small town of Mariental is only about 30 km away if you want to do some shopping.

If you don’t want to cook yourself, we can, of course, book all meals for you in advance or arrange them spontaneously at the lodge.

Currently included in the itinerary:
1 night, including breakfast

An upgrade to the nearby lodge is of course also possible.

Namib Appaloosas

On the third day, you set off early and drive about 230 km south – to the edge of the world’s oldest desert, the Namib Desert. There, you will be warmly welcomed by a German-speaking couple. They breed beautiful, strong Appaloosas that are perfectly adapted to the harsh desert climate.

You will stay in a newly built bungalows, which blends harmoniously into the Namibian landscape and offers breathtaking views.

On the first afternoon, a relaxed introductory ride awaits, where you will get to know the horses and the surroundings.

The next day includes two more rides – one in the morning and one in the afternoon – perfect for enjoying the stunning landscape from the saddle.

On the fifth day, another ride is planned. Afterwards, you have time for your own explorations: for example, take a self-drive excursion to the nearby Duwisib Castle or simply enjoy the peace with a walk in the surrounding area. You can plan the day entirely according to your preferences.

Currently included in the itinerary:
3 nights with full board (excluding alcoholic beverages)
1 × 1-hour ride for 2 people
3 × 2-hour rides for 2 people

If you are traveling with someone who does not ride, there is still plenty to experience – for example, guided hikes or exciting farm drives. We are happy to tailor the program individually to your wishes.

The Oldest Sandbox in the World!

After exciting days with the Appaloosas, it’s time to pack your bags! Today, you will drive about 160 km towards Sossusvlei. Your accommodation is again a fully equipped self-catering camp, just about 4 km from the entrance to Namib-Naukluft National Park. Conveniently, there is a nearby gas station for shopping, a lodge next door for dining, or you can order a braai (barbecue) package directly at the camp.

The next morning, it’s time to rise early – ideally arriving before the park gates open, so you can experience the park in the cool morning atmosphere. From here, it’s about 60 km to the world-famous Sossusvlei dunes and the mystical Deadvlei.

Keep your entrance ticket safe! It allows you to return to the park in the afternoon and explore Sesriem Canyon – another highlight of the region.

You’ll find many more tips, route suggestions, and insider secrets in our exclusive guest booklet, which you receive after booking – packed with information, recommendations, and little tricks for your Namibia adventure.

Currently included in the itinerary:
2 nights, self-catering

If you wish, an upgrade to a nearby lodge including breakfast and dinner can of course be arranged.

Finally some cool air & plenty of activities

After the warm days inland, it’s finally time for the coast! On the 8th day of your Namibia journey, you will drive about 350 km to Swakopmund, where fresh Atlantic air and a completely different climate await. Your accommodation is centrally located in town – perfect for exploring everything on foot.

The following day is entirely free for you. Swakopmund offers so much to do that we have deliberately not scheduled fixed activities – you can decide spontaneously what you feel like doing.

Bushmen & Rock Art

From the coast, the journey today takes you about 200 km back inland – to a rustic guest farm in the beautiful Erongo Mountains.

We have again not pre-booked fixed activities here, so you can decide spontaneously what you feel like doing. There is plenty to discover on the farm: take a sundowner tour, visit historical rock art sites, or explore the Living Museum of the San. For those seeking more activity, hiking, climbing, or simply experiencing the colorful farm life is possible.

Plan the day entirely to your liking – this is Namibia at its most authentic.

Currently included in the price:
1 night, including breakfast and dinner

Please note: the guest farm has no air conditioning. If you prefer, you can upgrade to a nearby lodge – same area, but more luxurious accommodation.

Etosha – Pure Safari!

From the Erongo Mountains, you will drive about 300 km to the famous Etosha National Park, one of Africa’s best-known wildlife reserves. The park spans an impressive 22,935 square kilometers in northern Namibia.

For your stay, we have selected a fully equipped tented self-catering camp outside the park – offering much better value for money than the state-run accommodations within the park. You can either cook for yourself or dine at a nearby lodge.

You decide how to experience the park:
Either drive through Etosha on your own, looking for elephants, lions, giraffes, and more – or join the lodge’s guided game drives. The decision is entirely up to you on-site.

Currently included in the price:
3 nights, including breakfast

An upgrade to the lodge with all meals included is of course also possible.

A Stop Along the Route

On day 14, you have the chance to rise early for a morning drive in Etosha – early birds simply see more! Alternatively, you can drive directly to your next safari location.

Didn’t see any leopards in Etosha? No problem!

On your next stage, you will have the chance to see these fascinating animals up close. In this private game reserve, the leopards roam completely wild but are fitted with radio collars, allowing them to be tracked. On a guided tracking tour, they can be easily located and observed calmly from the open safari vehicle – an unforgettable experience.

Your accommodation is idyllic, with views over the plains. Often oryx or springbok antelopes rest in the shade of trees – sometimes so close you can watch them right from your terrace.

A wide range of optional activities is available:

• Leopard tracking

• Rhino tracking

• Hyena tracking

• Pangolin tracking

• Night drives

• Game drives

• Guided nature walks

• Free: self-guided walks on marked trails

Since every trip is different, these activities are not included in the current price. They can be booked spontaneously on-site, or we can arrange your favorites in advance so you don’t miss anything.

Currently included in the travel price:
1 night, including breakfast and dinner

Highlight: Luxury Lodge & Horseback Safari

On day 15, you will drive about 220 km to your next destination – and the grand finale of your tour awaits: a true luxury lodge with an attached riding stable that leaves nothing to be desired.

In the afternoon, a wide range of activities awaits: sundowner, nature, night, and game drives, hiking, bowling, tennis, or even a fun game of oversized chess. The in-house spa offers full pampering. Don’t worry – all activities can be chosen and booked spontaneously on-site.

The next morning, your personal horse riding highlight awaits: an approximately three-hour game ride on horseback, during which you can observe giraffes, warthogs, gnus, and other wildlife from the saddle. The afternoon is free for you again.

The stable is managed by friends of ours and carries our personal seal of quality – animal welfare and quality come first!

Currently included in the itinerary:
2 nights, including dinner and breakfast
1 × 3-hour safari ride for 2 people

The ride can also be booked as a sundowner ride. If you prefer to sleep late, we can arrange that in advance.

Too soon?

On the last day of your trip, enjoy a leisurely breakfast and a relaxed start – it’s only about 70 km to Windhoek. We would love to meet you there again and hear about your experiences!

You can return your rental car directly at the airport by 4 pm.
