Day 1 Windhoek - Namib

Setting off from the capital, Windhoek at 09h00, we travel south to Rehoboth, and then into the true Namib to the Drifters Desert Camp adjoining the Namibrand Nature Reserve. Here we camp alone in the wilderness with only the rocky mountains and towering dunes to keep us company. The sunset over the desert landscape is a sight to behold. We enjoy a traditional meal under the desert skies before falling asleep to the sounds of the wild. Dinner.

Day 2 Namib Desert

Awake to desert vistas that extend further than the eye can see. We spend two nights at the Drifters Desert Camp nestled against a towering rock outcrop within this protected wilderness that Drifters has conserved and restored with the proceeds of tourism. During our stay here, we will conduct extensive guided walks and game drives both during the day and at night in order to better understand the desert fauna and flora. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Day 3 Sossusvlei

After a short morning walk we pack up and continue through the desert to the Sesriem Canyon and the awesome Soussusvlei dunes. We will transfer into the dunes by 4 x 4 and will spend time climbing these spectacular dunes before moving on to camp wild in the desert. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Day 4/5 Swakopmund

Crossing through the Namib Naukluft Park, we visit the dramatic Lunar Landscape, and the ancient Welwitschia plants, before making for the coastal town of Swakopmund, where we spend two nights in the centrally located, comfortable Drifters Swakopmund Inn.

Traveling through the heart of the Kaokovelt today, we make our way north to the Angolan border where we will camp for two nights at a community project on the banks of the Cunene river at the awesome Epupa Falls.

We will also explore the area surrounding the Fall's. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
