After your evening meal there are still more chances to see Etosha's

A
full day's game driving. We again leave early to enjoy the cool morning
air. We game drive our way through Etosha to Halali camp, situated in
the middle of the park. Along the way we visit several waterholes and
are afforded splendid views of the massive Etosha pan. The game viewing
is usually excellent and we have the chance to tick off a few new
species that are not normally seen on the Namutoni side of the park.
We stop at Halali for a rest and a leisurely lunch. There is also time
to visit the Halali waterhole and to make use of the swimming pool and
bar facilities before continuing on our way and game driving down to
Okaukuejo camp.
Okaukuejo is famous for its waterhole, which has been described as one
of the "best game viewing opportunities in Southern Africa". Situated on
the doorstep of our accommodation, black rhino, elephant, lion and
numerous species of antelope are often seen.

numerous waterholes in the area hoping to catch some of Etosha's big
game out for an early morning drink. The game drives around the
Okaukuejo area are some of the best in the park.
We cover several different terrain this morning, from wooded areas to
open savannah and in the rainy season, wetland. Back to Okaukuejo in the
late morning and after lunch there is time once again to relax during
the heat of the day. The pool area here is very good, shaded by acacia
trees and a stone's throw away from the waterhole.

one of the waterholes popular with game and waiting for the animals to
come to us. overnight:Okaukuejo

Leaving Etosha we begin our journey south with a relatively short drive
to the small town of Kamanjab where we will make a short stop here
before continuing on to find the Hmba tribesmen.
This is the only traditionally functioning Himba community outside the
far north Kaokoland region of Namibia these tribes-people have migrated
here, lifestyle and customs intact, and are following their traditional
way-of-life in their village on a farm. Oases village is located about
15 to 20 km outsideKamanjab, the exact location of the site varies as
the Himba occasionally roam to a new location. During the afternoon we
will be invited into oases village and will meet with the locals.
We will have a specialist guide for the time we are there, who will be
able to translate for us and will introduce us to this "alternative

Okaukuejo

DAY

Damaraland scenery is beautiful and we drive through the heart of the
region today. Giant granite "koppies" and open grassland make up the
terrain with rare and unusual flora species dotting the landscape.
Tonight we will be camping at an beautiful place called Ogongo with
natural spring's running out of the sun baked mountains, we can enjoy a
nice swim in one of the natural pools. Overnight:
community campsite, communal ablutions. Breakfast, lunch & dinner.
DAY
8
Damaraland scenery is some of the best in Namibia; open grasslands
studded with massive granite koppies create the feeling of being
surrounded by mountains. We are well into desert elephant and black
rhino country and other game such as springbok, ostrich and gemsbok are
often seen. Our destination is the Brandberg, Namibia's highest
mountain, (2573 m), an ancient bushman spiritual site and tonight we
sleep under the shadow of this giant granite monolith. Overnight:
communal campsite/ablutions. (bld)
DAY
9
Starting early to enjoy the cool of the morning we will hike, "into" the
mountain with our guide to see the world famous "white lady" rock
painting. Attributed to the bushman artists, the white lady rock
painting is believed by some to be in excess of 20 000 years old.
Back on the road for more beautiful Damaraland scenery. We make our
first stop in the small town of uis, an old mining town, and one of the
best places to buy semiprecious stones, for which Namibia is famous.
Here, rough amethyst, tourmaline etc. Can be found at bargain prices.
From here we turn directly west and cross the "gravel plains" on our way
to the Atlantic ocean and the skeleton coast. Meeting the ocean at
Henties bay, we first head north along the coast to visit the seal
colony at cape cross. Here at certain times of the year there can be as
many as 100,000 cape fur seals in attendance. The next destination is
Swakopmund, following the skeleton coast into Namibia's premier seaside
town. We aim to arrive in the late afternoon giving us time to explore
the town on foot before sunset.
Tonight we take the chance to sample one of the excellent restaurants.
The seafood in Swakopmund is superb. Your guide will offer to organize a
group meal in a local restaurant for this evening. Participation is
recommended but by no means required.
Dinner this evening in not included in the price of the safari and will
be for the client's own account
Brandberg mountain -Swakopmund, Skeleton coast (250 km) (bl) (chalet
accommodation)
DAY
10
Swakopmund is a very pleasant seaside town with lots of shops, a good
stretch of beach (although the Atlantic here is quite cold) and an
open-air curio market. There is also a very good museum and the Namibian
national marine aquarium is located in swakopmund.
Alternatively, there are various optional activities that can be
arranged. These include airplane and microlight flights over the desert,
scenic drives, fishing trips (both from the beach or in a boat),
four-wheel motorcycle (quad bike) trips into the desert and over the
sand dunes aroundSwakopmund, sand boarding trips (also in the dunes),
skydiving, surfing, bird-watching and many other activities are
available.
Your tour guide will discuss all the possible options with you before
you reach Swakopmund and will offer to make bookings in advance of your
arrival. (n.b. all extra activities and excursions in Swakopmund are
subject to availability and are made at the clients' own risk and
expense). Overnight:
chalet accommodation (bd)
DAY
11
Turning south, we once again head deep into the ancient southern Namib,
traveling on small gravel roads and passing some tiny rural communities
along the way. The scenery is harsh, and sometimes forbidding. The
process of erosion in these areas is well advanced and we pass time
rounded "koppies" arid terrain and outcrops of tortured rock.
Our destination is Sesriem, the gateway to the sand dune see and one of
the most remarkable landscapes on planet earth. Tonight we are guarded
by the massive sand dunes of the Namib to our west and the towering
Naukluft mountains to the east.
We arrive in time to drive the short distance to one of the close by
dunes to watch the colours on the distant mountains to the east, glow
and change in the sunset.
overnight:
communal campsite/ablutions (bld)
DAY
12
A
pre-dawn starts to see the sunrise in the dunes. We drive a further 60
km into the desert and have our breakfast as the colours grow across the
landscape.
To reach Sossusvlei itself we walk for the last 5 km through the dunes.
The walk is like nothing else, in the cool of the morning, with soft
sunlight just beginning to play over the dunes creating a sharp light
and shadow contrast across the whole desert. Ancient mineral pans,
stunted camel horn trees and the chance of seeing a gemsbok or maybe an
ostrich make the photo opportunities perfect.
We spend the morning in and around Sossusvlei, also visiting "dune 45",
and as the day wears on we return to Sesriem for lunch and to escape the
heat of the afternoon. As the day cools off in the late afternoon we
will take a short excursion to the Sesriem canyon.
Sesriem - Sossusvlei - Sesriem (150 km) (bld) (camping)
DAY

Sadly
today is the last day of our safari. We pack up camp and start our drive
back to Windhoek, we travel through the beautiful Hoghland mountains and
will stop for a quick lunch before we arrive in Windhoek around 15:00,
you will say good bye to your guide or maybe make arrangements for a
last dinner at the famous Joe's beerhouse.
