Days 1–2: Windhoek & surroundings

Your journey begins in a peaceful oasis. At your lodge, you’ll enjoy wellness treatments, horseback riding, ceramic workshops and your first safari in the Namibian savannah. A perfect place to unwind and slip into nature’s rhythm.

Days 3–4: Namib-Naukluft & Sossusvlei

Travel south into the heart of the Namib Desert. Drive past rust-red dunes, spot oryx antelopes and experience the magic of Sossusvlei, on foot or from a hot air balloon. The desert reveals its raw beauty in every direction.

Days 5–6: Atlantic Coast & Walvis Bay

At the coast, contrasts abound: towering dunes meet the ocean, playful seals and dolphins accompany your catamaran cruise and the dramatic landscape of Sandwich Harbour takes your breath away. Optional activities include kayaking or a sundowner by a seal colony.

Days 7–8: Etosha National Park

In the eastern part of Etosha, you’ll experience safari at its most authentic: fewer visitors, just as much wildlife. Your guide takes you past salt pans and waterholes in search of lions and elephants cloaked in white dust. An intimate encounter with African nature.

Day 9: Kavango River

You head north to the banks of the Kavango River. Unwind with a view over the water or try your luck catching the elusive tigerfish. The scenery gradually shifts from dry savannah to tropical green.

Days 10–11: Bwabwata National Park

An untouched slice of wilderness, rich in birdlife and wild animals. You’ll explore lush savannahs and winding rivers on several game drives, with chances to spot elephants, lions or even wild dogs.

Days 12–13: Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe)

End your journey in style at the legendary Victoria Falls. Walk along the edge of the gorge, sail into the sunset on the Zambezi or admire the spectacle from above on a helicopter flight. And for the truly daring: bungee jump from the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge, an adrenaline rush with a world-class view. A spectacular finale to a journey full of wonder.

Day 14: Return home

After a final breakfast in the African wilderness, your driver takes you to the airport. You return home with a suitcase full of memories and a mind filled with endless horizons.
