What to expect
With a packed travel vehicle we leave the capital and head north. Small settlements, farms and towns will shape the itinerary for the morning. Just get to know the country and its people bit by bit. First we should set up our camp for the night before we get to the trip's highlight, the rich wildlife of the famous Etosha National Park. Already at the first water hole several species of antelopes could greet us. Keep the binoculars ready, because as we go further into the park there could be something lurking behind bushes. In order to give the animals their well-deserved rest, we go back to the camp at sundown. While your guide is preparing dinner, the crackling campfire invites you for a delicious sundowner drink. We wish you a pleasant night's sleep. Listen to the animals' night calls.
1440 minutes
The vastness of Etosha National Park truly hits you when you travel from the southern part to the far eastern section. We navigate smaller roads, moving from one waterhole to another, aiming to spot as many animals as we can throughout the day. Patience and a bit of luck enhance this thrilling wildlife experience. By late afternoon, we arrive at our campsite, where we’ll stay for two nights. After a day filled with photography, you’ll have the chance to review and possibly share your pictures. During dinner, our guide/s generously share their extensive knowledge, revealing many insights that you won’t find in any travel guide, drawn from their personal experiences.

After an early breakfast, we set off to Etosha National Park to explore the northern area. There are fascinating waterholes here, and the edge of the actual pan provides a fantastic backdrop for photography. The vast plains and clay depressions create a stunning contrast against the sky, the salt pan, and the wildlife that gathers there. As the sun sets, we bid farewell to the abundant wildlife and head to our campsite. We enjoy one last cozy evening by the campfire, taking the opportunity to gaze at the constellations, which remind us of the calming effect that the animals and surroundings have on us.

Cheetah Conservation Fund
Our trip back to Windhoek leads us through the mining town of Tsumeb and then across the picturesque farmlands toward Otjiwarongo. We are passionate about supporting local Wildlife Foundations. A brief one-hour stop at the Cheetah Conservation Fund will give you insight into their mission to protect endangered species. WE ARE COMMITTED. Continuing our journey toward Windhoek, we pass through Okahandja, where we can pause at a wood carving market to find some final souvenirs or mementoes. We will reach Windhoek in the early afternoon.

Gamsberg pass
A short drive through the City as we head out towards the Gamsberg, a table-topped mountain which on clear days, has some stunning views of the distant Naukluft Mountains, the area we are headed to for the next few days
Tropic of Capricorn Sign
Our drive takes us through farmland and reserves crossing the Tropic of Capricorn and down the Remhoogte or Spreetshoogte Pass - the escarpment drops down to meet the desert floor as we arrive at our campsite in the Sesriem area.
Such a magical area for sundowners as your gaze takes in the Naukluft Mountains and a small section of the dune-belt. This evening as you sit around a crackling fire your gaze is drawn skywards to the blanket of stars, an area that is good for the soul! Rest well tonight as tomorrow is a very early start.
Sossusvlei
The world famous Naukluft area is one of our most versatile conservation areas of which you will see a small portion being Sossusvlei and Dead Vlei. This is one of our most visited areas by international tourists. It is a magical area where you can experience the feeling of vastness and isolation with dunes that are some of the highest in the world. A photographers dream as the early morning light plays with colours from apricot to red and no better place that Dead Vlei to experience this as the dunes drop down to meet a white clay pan dotted with the skeletons of ancient camelthorn trees.
480 minutes
Mid morning as the temperatures rise we travel back to camp, pack up and drive the short journey to Weltevrede. Nestled near the spectacular rugged Naukluft mountains we'll set up camp .
