Itinerary

  • Day 1

    Windhoek

    Arrive at any time.

    Tonight after a brief welcome meeting, choose to get to know your group members with an optional group dinner at a nearby local restaurant.

  • Day 2

    Windhoek/Waterberg Plateau

    Climb aboard the Lando (overland adventure vehicle) and travel to the the tour operator-supported Penduka Village Restaurant & Shop, located outside of Windhoek. Grab a tasty packed lunch here before heading to the Waterberg Plateau. Spend free time at the campsite simply enjoying the wild surroundings.

  • Day 3

    Waterberg Plateau/Etosha National Park

    Enjoy a short group safari drive in Etosha National Park in the Lando en route to today’s camping spot. The remainder of the day includes free time to relax at camp and rest up for the next day’s adventure.

  • Day 4

    Etosha National Park

    Embark on a full-day wildlife safari drive through Etosha National Park. Search for some of the animal species that call this place home. Because of the park’s size and large concentrations of animals within it almost feels like they come directly to you! Especially during the dry season (May through October).

  • Day 5

    Etosha National Park/Spitzkoppe

    Explore on your own by foot, and be sure to check out the night sky—it's great for star-gazing!

  • Day 6

    Spitzkoppe/Swakopmund

    Take in the wild landscape of Spitzkoppe before travelling to the coastal region of Namibia and the adrenaline capital of Swakopmund. Spend two nights here and enjoy plenty of time for daring optional activities in the area.

  • Day 7

    Swakopmund

    You can pre-book your sky dive on the checkout page, or through your Global Connection Officer or travel agent.

  • Day 8

    Swakopmund/Namib Desert

    Drive in the Lando to the oldest desert in the world and camp on the very edge. Upon arrival to camp there will be free time where you can choose to walk with a local expert to hear stories about the Namib Desert. Later, fall asleep under the stars.

  • Day 9

    Namib Desert

    Explore the stunning rock formations of the Sesriem Canyon. Then choose to go further on the Sossuvlei Desert walk to visit a clay pan enclosed by the world’s largest sand dunes. Return to the campsite and enjoy dinner on the braai before a peaceful night's sleep in the desert.

  • Day 10

    Namib Desert/Fish River Canyon

    Spend the day driving to the largest canyon in Africa known as Fish River Canyon. Along the way there will be opportunities to step outside of the Lando and stretch. The group will watch sunset over the canyon’s rim before sitting around a fire at camp.

  • Day 11

    Fish River Canyon/Orange River

    The group will cross another border today on the journey into South Africa. Tonight, camp at the scenic Orange River. There will be free time to enjoy some of the activities in the area like a canoe excursion on the river.

  • Day 12

    Orange River/Cederberg

    Board the Lando and drive further south past large plantations of rooibos tea as the group heads into the Cederberg Mountains. Camp here for the night where the options for your free time could be a wine tasting, a swim in the pool, or sitting around a campfire.

  • Day 13

    Cederberg/Cape Town

    Travel to Cape Town today and stop along the way at the the tour operator-supported !Khwa ttu San Culture and Education Centre where you will learn about the history and culture of the ancient San people. Tonight there will be free time in Cape Town to explore at your own pace.
