Itinerary
Day 1
Cape Town
Get the most out of your time in Cape Town by pre-booking the South African Wine Tour and Tasting extra. If you do, we recommend booking accommodation for an extra night pre-tour as this activity has an early start time. Please note, due to the timings of this activity, there is a possibility you may miss the welcome meeting on day 1 of your tour - in this case, your CEO will leave you a message detailing what time and where you should meet the next morning.
Day 2
Cape Town/Cederberg
Hit the road in the Lando and view the stunning Western Cape scenery on the way to the the tour operator-supported !Khwa ttu San Culture and Education Centre. Learn about the history and culture of the ancient San people. Arrive to the campsite in the afternoon and enjoy free time in the area.
Day 3
Cederberg/Orange River
Travel north past large plantations of rooibos tea. Camp at the scenic Orange River and arrive at the site with enough time to enjoy a late afternoon swim in the river.
Day 4
Orange River/Fish River Canyon
Travel to Fish River Canyon today, the largest canyon in Africa. Hop out of the Lando to watch sunset over the canyon’s rim. Set up camp nearby and sit around the campfire.
Day 5
Fish River Canyon/Namib Desert
Sit back in the Lando and travel north along long, bumpy roads to the Namib Desert. Arrive and set up camp in the late afternoon, and admire the towering red sand dunes of Sossusvlei seeming to rise up towards the sky in the middle of nowhere.
Day 6
Namib Desert
Conclude your day with a scenic drive, if time allows, stopping at the quaint town of Solitaire, before settling in at the campsite. Here, you may opt for an evening activity: "Namib Desert Walk." This activity is an educational experience about bushmen's survival in the desert, the geology of sand dunes, and local wildlife, and ends with a beautiful desert sunset.
Day 7
Namib Desert/Swakopmund
Cross over the dry mountain passes and vast empty region of the Namib Desert en route to adrenaline capital; Swakopmund. The group will spend two nights here with plenty of time for the many optional activities in the area.
Day 8
Swakopmund
You can pre-book your sky dive on the checkout page, or through your Global Connection Officer or travel agent.
Day 9
Swakopmund/Spitzkoppe
Explore on your own by foot, and be sure to check out the night sky—it's great for star-gazing!
Day 10
Spitzkoppe/Etosha National Park
After sunset, watch animals at the watering holes near the camping area, which is safe, being well lit with flood lights. Free time at night allows for the option of a night safari in an open vehicle.
Day 11
Etosha National Park
Embark on a full-day wildlife safari drive in Etosha National Park. Search for more than 100 different mammals that call this park home. During the dry season (May through October) the animals all gather around the waterfalls creating some of the densest wildlife viewing in the world.
Day 12
Etosha National Park/Waterberg Plateau
Move on from Etosha today and travel further south to the Waterberg Plateau. Spend free time exploring the trails in this national park in search of more wildlife, or choose to relax at camp.
Day 13
Waterberg Plateau/Windhoek
If you aren't ready to go home yet, talk with your CEO about extending your adventure and get to know more of Namibia or beyond!
