Itinerary
DAY 1: CENTRAL NAMIBIA
On arrival at Windhoek Airport, you will be met by one of our team members, who will assist you with the collection of your rental vehicle. He will also hand you your complimentary care package. Make your way north to Okonjima Nature Reserve. Here you will spend the night in the Plains Camp; Okonjima is home to the AfriCat Foundation, whose primary focus is the conservation through education, research and rehabilitation of captive cheetahs. An afternoon and early morning game activities are included; make sure to arrive before 16:00.

DAY 2, 3 & 4: ETOSHA EAST
Spend the next three days at your own pace, going for game drives into Etosha National Park or just spending time at the lodge. And if you don’t feel like driving yourself around, we can arrange a scheduled game drive for you, which is one of the activities offered at the lodge.

DAY 5 & 6: ETOSHA SOUTH
You will spend your last two nights in Etosha, just outside the park on the southern border. You can explore the park’s west side, but only on scheduled game drives as it is a restricted area. And these are options that attract additional costs. Or you could take a day and go and visit one of the local Himba tribal villages.

DAY 7: DAMARALAND
After Etosha, you will head south to Damaraland; here, you will spend the last night of your Namibian safari tour at the foot of the Erongo Mountains. Hohenstein Lodge is located on the bottom of the highest peak of the Erongo mountains. In the evening, spectacular sunsets bathe the mountain in great red light. The view over the vast landscape extends as far as the Spitzkoppe peak, protruding as a prominent relief from the plain. The lodge is the perfect starting point for exciting outings at the Hohenstein and day trips to the Spitzkoppe or the neighbouring Ameib farm.

DAY 8: END OF TOUR
On arrival in Windhoek, you need to return your rental vehicle. We can either arrange a transfer to the airport or book you one last night in Windhoek before your departure.
