A day-by-day breakdown of what to expect and where you'll be staying.
Day 1, Cape Town
Enjoy the 'Mother City' at leisure today. With so much to see and do it would be worth getting out early and making the most of it!
Day 2, Cape Town to Lamberts Bay
We head up the West Coast to Lamberts Bay - an attractive fishing town that lies on a beautiful stretch of coastline. The West Coast is spectacular in spring when the masses of wild flowers bloom and the entire region turns into a mass of yellow, red and orange.

After crossing into Namibia and travelling through the Richtersveld, we head for the awesome Fish River Canyon.
Day 4, Fish River Canyon to Aus
This morning we head to the 2nd biggest canyon in the world - Fish River Canyon where we partake in an optional walk along the rim before we proceed on to the Aus region.
Day 5, Aus to Sesriem
From the Aus region we are off to the oldest desert on the planet which is found at the Namib Naukluft National Park. The giant sand dunes of Sossusvlei are close by. These are the highest sand dunes in the world and there are plenty of adventure activities to engage in!
Day 6, Sesriem to Sesriem (via Sossusvlei)
An early start as we enter into the park and head for Dune 45. Clamber to the top for a stunning high-point view over the dunes.

Stunning photographic opportunities are available in the dunes so bring those cameras!!

A spectacular sunset awakens us this morning. We travel north towards Walvis Bay via some glorious desert passes, and make our way along the coast, before finally arriving in Namibia's prime adventure resort - Swakopmund.

A leisure day today to get the feel of this quaint German town sandwiched between the edge of a massive dune field and the ocean. Take on some adventure activities or relax in a cafe on the beachfront.
Day 9, Swakopmund to Etosha National Park
The adventure town of Swakopmund has a Bavarian feel to it and is situated snugly between sea and desert. Swakopmund has an array of shops, bars, restaurants and great beaches. Here you are free to explore at your leisure or take part in one of the many activities. This is also a chance to catch up on all of your admin such as laundry and banking!
