Namibia & Botswana Uncovered

The tour starts by leaving Swakopmund this morning so you will need to add at least one night here beforehand. To allow for delayed inbound flights and to get some time to explore Swakopmund we would recommend adding two nights. We depart from the guesthouse at 07:00am sharp - please ensure you arrive here at least 30 minutes before this. You may book extra nights at as well as arrival airport transfers through us if you wish. The tour starts as we head inland towards Khorixas, seeing the massive granite formations of Spitzkoppe which tower 700 metres over the desert and plains beneath them. We’ll take a walk with a local guide to see some examples of rock art which demonstrate how significant this area and these formations were to the San people who lived here in the past. Finally we continue to our overnight stop for the evening. Note: The tour is available either based mainly on camping in traditional 2-person tents (which we provide together with camp beds), or as an upgraded 'accommodated' version where you sleep in lodges, hotels, or permanent camps (with proper beds & facilities).

We start early this morning and head to Etosha National Park, one of Africa’s most famous destinations for game viewing with the sparse grasslands allowing great opportunities to see animals normally hidden in dense vegetation. We then have the afternoon to explore the edges of Etosha Pan on a game drive on our expedition vehicle as we head to our accommodation for the night. The raised height of the vehicle helps with visibility and seeing some of the abundant wildlife in the park. We’ll aim to stop at several waterholes during the way, where concentrations of game can often be seen. Route: Kamanjab to Etosha National Park (200km).
