Grand Namibia Standard Safari (14 days)

14 days duration

This popular Standard Mobile Safari stays at exclusive camp sites, has no camp duties for you to perform and utilises spacious dome tents. On this safari you experience the real wilderness of Namibia — the thrill of being "at one with nature". You will enjoy delicious meals prepared by the chef on the open campfire, served on a candle-lit table — with all the fun and unique experience that only a camping safari can offer — but without the work!

 
Day 1 Arrive Windhoek
 
Windhoek, with its lingering heritage of German architecture, activities and atmosphere is a city, which can be visited throughout the year. The day is spent at leisure. We are met by our guide at the hotel reception for a briefing.
 
Day 2/3/4 Windhoek / Etosha National Park
 
This Park is one of the most important reserves and game sanctuaries in Africa. Thousands of wild animals are attracted to the area, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, elephants, several species of antelopes, zebras, giraffes, etc. The birdlife is prolific with 326-recorded species. We enjoy early morning and late afternoon game drives. (BLD)
 
Day 5 Etosha National Park / Owamboland
 
We drive through 'Owamboland', which consists of communal farming land of the Oshiwambo people. Driving by, we pass women carrying water back to their houses, while others wash and children splash around to cool off. We stop to view a giant Baobab tree that once functioned as a church. We visit the Uukwaluudhi Royal Homestead where we can experience the daily life of the village. (BLD)  
 
Day 6/7 Owamboland / Kaokoland
 
The Epupa Falls are a series of cascades where the Kunene River drops 60m in 1.5km forming a multitude of channels and rock pools. A variety of birds occur in the area. We visit a Himba village to familiarize ourselves with their way of life. (BLD)
 
Day 8 Kaokoland / Damaraland
 
An early morning drive takes us to our camp in Damaraland. The changing colours of the surrounding landscapes are enjoyed on a guided walk with explanations of the unique flora and geology of the area. (BLD)  
 
Day 9 Damaraland / Twyfelfontein - Brandenberg Mountain
 
We visit the Twyfelfontein area with walks to view the ancient Bushman rock engravings, Organ Pipes, and the Burnt Mountain. We camp at the foot of the Brandberg Mountain, which is the highest mountain in Namibia. (BLD)
  
Day 10 Brandenberg Mountain / Swakopmund
 
On our way to Swakopmund, we visit Cape Cross Seal Colony, one of the largest mainland seal colonies in the world. Swakopmund, with its German colonial atmosphere, is the principal coastal resort of Namibia. Time is spent at leisure to enjoy the charm of this old town or to undertake one of the many optional activities on offer (at own expense). (BL)
 
Day 11 Swakopmund / Namib Naukluft Park
 
Morning spent in Swakopmund to enjoy optional activities or just relax in this small town. After lunch (own account) we depart to the Namib-Naukluft Park. Enroute we visit the Moon landscape and we stop to view the unusual prehistoric Welwitschia plant. Our exclusive camp in the desert under the bright stars of the southern hemisphere will create a lasting impression. (BD)
