off the beaten track - 13 days serviced camping safari |
DAY 1:
WATERBERG PLATEAU
You will meet your safari guide in the foyer of the Windhoek Country Club at 08h00. Embark on
a beautiful journey through Namibia’s wide-open landscape to the Waterberg, stopping en route
for a guided tour of the Olive Farm followed by lunch in these tranquil surrounds. Continue
towards the Waterberg Plateau Park – renowned for its flamboyant red sandstone formations
and lush green vegetation. Home to a large variety of game, plant types and over 240 bird
species, the Waterberg is also steeped in history – it was here that the Herero people lost their
greatest battle to the German colonial forces at the beginning of the century. Our exclusive
campsite provides a shady refuge situated under a canopy of trees. Enjoy a late afternoon walk
and sundowners on top of the Waterberg.
DAY 2:
OMBOROKO MOUNTAINS
After an early morning walk on the Waterberg Plateau followed by a wholesome breakfast,
continue to Okonjima – nestled in the unspoiled beauty of the Omboroko Mountains. This
family-run lodge is known for its peaceful and friendly atmosphere, and comprises ten
individually furnished rooms with en suite shower and toilet. Okonjima is home to the Africat
Foundation – a non-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation and protection of Namibia’s
threatened cats. With over 300 bird species – including most of the Namibian endemics –
birdwatching from the Lodge’s hide is extraordinary. You may also enjoy various walking trails
including a guided San (Bushman) trail, and excellent home cooked meals are served indoors
or outside around a fire.
DAY 3:
ETOSHA
Continue along country roads to our exclusive campsite at the private Fischer’s Pan Game
Reserve – bordering the eastern perimetre of the world-renowned Etosha National Park, a few
kilometres away from the Von Lindequist Gate. In addition to its prime and secluded location,
our campsite is beautifully situated on the edge of a small vlei where a variety of game,
including leopard, roam at will. Enjoy an afternoon game-drive in the Namutoni area,
characterised by the historic Beau Gestean fort.
DAY 4:
ETOSHA
Spend the day game-viewing in Etosha National Park – 22 270 square kilometres of countryside
ranging from dense bush to barren plains. The Etosha Pan, meaning "Place of Dry Water", is a
vast, dry shallow depression of shimmering mirages. Experience spectacular game-viewing
along the southern edge of the Pan where numerous waterholes attract an abundance of
mammal and bird species.
DAY 5:
ETOSHA
Game-view in the Park on your way to Ongava – situated on the southwestern border of the
Park, near the Andersson Gate. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.
DAY 6:
DAMARALAND
After an early morning game-drive, continue to our private campsite in southern Damaraland –
situated between the Ugab and the Huab rivers. Damaraland’s unique attractions include a
wealth of rock paintings and engravings, fascinating geological formations, diverse wildlife, and
variety of desert flora and fauna. Visit the San (Bushman) rock paintings and engravings at
nearby Twyfelfontein – thought to be the work of hunter-gatherers who lived in the area
thousands of years ago – and enjoy a late afternoon stroll amongst the boulders and kopjes.
DAY 7:
DAMARALAND
Spend the day exploring Damaraland at the Etendeka concession – 45 000 hectares of rocky
semi desert, home to black rhino, desert-adapted elephants, Hartmann’s mountain zebra, oryx,
ostrich and several endemic bird species. Enjoy a late afternoon stroll and sundowners
overlooking Damaraland’s magnificent rugged scenery.
DAY 8:
SWAKOPMUND
Continue to the coast and Cape Cross where the Portuguese seafarer Diego Cao became the
first European to set foot on Namibian soil in 1486. Cape Cross is home to more than 80 000
Cape Fur Seals, and extensive lichen fields feature along the coast. Hedged by the desert and
the wild Atlantic, Swakopmund is Namibia’s premier seaside resort, resembling a Bavarian
village with its numerous 19th century buildings. Swakopmund offers old world charm, a relaxed
atmosphere and a host of activities. Your accommodation is at the four-star Swakopmund Hotel
& Entertainment Centre, and dinner will be enjoyed at a local seafood restaurant.
DAY 9:
SWAKOPMUND
Depart on a seal and dolphin cruise at 08h30, taking you through Walvis Bay harbour, fishing
factories and Russian trawlers, and then on to Bird Island and Pelican Point. View a variety of
birds such as pelicans, flamingos, and cormorants on the way back via the lagoon, and feed
wild seals boarding the boat by hand. Fresh oysters, champagne and snacks are enjoyed at
the seal colony where dolphins join the fun around the boat. Spend the afternoon at leisure
enjoying a variety of optional activities such as quad biking, a scenic flight over the dunes and
coast, and golf on one of the five registered desert golf courses in the world.
DAY 10:
SOSSUSVLEI
Continue via the Kuiseb to Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge situated in the heart of the Namib Desert
on the NamibRand Nature Reserve – one of the largest reserves in Africa with 180 000 hectares
of pristine wilderness. NamibRand is renowned for its captivating beauty and diversity of
landscape which changes from expansive gravel plains to undulating dune seas and rugged
canyons. Spend one overnight at Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge in a luxurious air-conditioned
desert villa. Experience the area’s diverse range of desert-adapted flora and fauna on guided
nature walks and hiking trails, and explore the dunes by All Terrain Vehicles. At night, discover
the magnificence of the desert sky from the Lodge’s sophisticated observatory.
Day 11:
NAMIB DESERT
Depart early for an excursion to the awe-inspiring dunes at nearby Sossusvlei – the highest
dunes in the world, many of which are in excess of 300m high. After lunch, continue to the
Namib Naukluft Park. Our exclusive campsite is surrounded by the huge Naukluft Mountains,
characterised by sheer cliffs, deeply incised river valleys and rolling hills, which are a sanctuary
for Hartmann’s mountain zebra, oryx, springbok and kudu. |
