Starting from Windhoek, discover giant sand dunes, seaside fun, eerie Atlantic coastline, the intriguing Himba people, and the vast and spectacular Namib-Naukluft National Park, on a comprehensive 14 day overland tour of Namibia’s highlights.

Day 1, Windhoek
After your arrival in Windhoek, there is a pre departure meeting on Day 1 of the tour at your joining hotel at 18.30.

Day 2 - 3, Namib-Naukluft National Park
Head inland to the scenically spectacular Namib-Naukluft National Park, the oldest desert in the world with the highest sand dunes on earth, some reaching over 300m. Watch the sun sink over the incredible sea of sand with their endlessly changing colours and contrasting shadows, and climb a giant dune at Sossusvlei.

Day 4 - 5, Swakopmund
Swakopmund is Namibia's premier holiday resort, nestling between the Namib Desert and the ocean. Here, you can explore the town and enjoy one of the many good restaurants and bars, and take one of the exciting optional activities such as sand boarding or quad biking in the surrounding dunes or a thrilling sky dive over the town.

Day 6, Skeleton Coast, Damaraland
Today we head up the barren Skeleton Coast to the Cape Cross Seal Colony, home to some 80,000 seals, and further inland reach Damaraland and if we are really lucky may encounter a desert elephant. We visit the ancient site of Twyfelfontein to see the bushman paintings and rock engravings carved into the sandstone.

Day 7 – 9, Kaokoland
We head further north to the remote and eerily beautiful Kaokoveld, a region that is one of the last great wilderness areas of Africa. We travel as far north as Opuwo where we will have the opportunity to interact with the Himba people and catch a glimpse of their traditional nomadic lifestyle.

Day 10, Cheetah Sanctuary
Our next stop is a cheetah sanctuary, where we learn more about these animals and the circumstances threatening their survival. We hope to watch them feed and possibly even come into contact with them.

Day 11 – 12, Etosha National Park
Next is Etosha National Park and we explore the park’s desert and semi arid landscape on the hunt for the many species of game. We camp for two nights close to floodlit waterholes, renowned for their visiting populations of rhino and elephant that make for exciting night time game viewing.

Day 13, Waterburg Plateau
The Waterberg Plateau is a sandstone plateau rising high above the surrounding plains, and a great place for a bush walk in search of the prolific bird life and it’s also a sanctuary for rare species including sable antelope and white rhino.

Day 14, Windhoek
The tour ends back in Windhoek.
