Itinerary

Day 1Windhoek

Welcome in Namibia!
Upon arrival you will be met by our representative at the arrivals gate.
Drop off at the 4×4 depot for collection of the vehicle.
The afternoon is at leisure. You will have some time to do some shopping for the next couple of days.

Day 2, 3Sossusvlei

Today your self drive journey starts! Drive towards the Namib desert and enjoy the scenery.
Explore the world famous Sossusvlei by yourself or book a Hot Air Balloon safari upfront.

Day 4Swakopmund

Drive towards Swakopmund. At Solitair you can put fuel in.
Swakopmund has a lot to offer and a day exploring the sand dunes or a dolphin cruise will be worthwhile. If you like an additional night here, please let us know.

Day 5 - 6Twyfelfontein

Leave the desert behind you and drive towards Damaraland. There is plenty to discover, from the rock paintings at Brandberg to desert elephants and himba tribes.

Day 7- 8Etosha National Park

Time for a safari! Explore Etosha with your own rental vehicle and drive from waterhole to waterhole. The animals are most active during early morning and late afternoon hours.
You could book a safari with a guide through the lodge. However, we feel that Etosha is very suitable for self drive.

Day 9Etosha National Park - East

Drive towards the Eastern side of the park and explore this area.

Day 10Rundu

Drive towards the greener part of Namibia. On the way you have some options for grocery shopping.
The lodges offers boat trips which are excellent for birding. Please make sure you arrive before 15 p.m.

Day 11 - 12Kwando River

Drive further towards the Zambezi region (Caprivi strip). The parks in de area offer some great wildlife spotting. Drive yourself or book a game drive via the lodge.

Day 13 - 15Chobe National Park - Kasane

Cross the border into Botswana. A boat tour is a must, watch the elephants swim.
Chobe is easy to explore with your own vehicle but you could also book a game drive via the lodge in an open safari vehicle.
An optional day trip to Victoria Falls is bookable upon arrival or up front via us.

Note: it is now allowed to enter Botswana with fresh veggies and fruits.

Day 16-17Gweta

Drive towards Gweta where you have time to explore either Nxai Pan or Makgadikgadi National Park.
The lodge offers excurions like Quad biking over the salt pans or a sleep out. Please book these in advance.

Day 18-19Maun - Okavango Delta

In Maun you could either book a flight over the Okavango delta or add an extra day to your itinerary and we book you a 2 day Mokoro excursion into the Delta. This is a nice break from driving. The excursion is combined with walks on the island which makes it a very unique experience.

Otherwise you could visit Moremi but this is a far drive out.

Day 20Ghanzi

Time to start your journey homewards. Today is a long day. Prepare for a very long drive!

Day 21Windhoek Airport

Drive towards the airport and hand in your vehicle. Time to fly home.
We hope you enjoyed your trip!

On request we can extra nights into the schedule.
