Experience desert dunes, coastal wilderness and wonderful game-viewing in Africa’s most underrated destination
Experience desert dunes, coastal wilderness and wonderful game-viewing in Africa’s most underrated destination
The scenic beauty of Namibia is only matched by the diversity. Deep canyons, towering dunes, otherworldly rock formations and vast salt pans merge seamlessly in an endlessly shifting landscape. The sky seems particularly big here with spectacular sunsets and, at night, billions of twinkling stars overhead. This is the backdrop for healthy wildlife populations, which congregate around the watering holes of Etosha and a mix of communities from traditional tribes to the descendants of German colonialists.
June to August: Clear and warm during the day, but temperatures can near freezing point at night.
September to May: Considerably warmer; October to March is the hottest, reaching the high 30Cs (around 100F). However, it is always a dry heat and the temperature drops at night. The wet season is between November and February, but this is not a bad time to go as the desert blooms after rainfall, there is plenty of birdlife to see and it never rains for very long.
This trip has been rated Activity Level 2 (Leisurely/Moderate).
Transport is in a specially modified safari truck with 10 to 12 seats for clients. There is plenty of legroom and packing space plus a reference library, fridge and/or icebox. Smaller groups may be in a Toyota Hilux/Land Cruiser. By keeping the group size small, we maximise the exposure to the great African wilderness.
Eighty percent of Namibian roads are good gravel roads. However, road conditions are dependent on maintenance, so can be poor on occasions. This can have an impact on journey times and comfort, and can be punishing on the vehicles. Drive times on this trip are moderate and we will normally arrive at our destination in the afternoon. The total distance covered is about 1,740mi (2,800km). Drive times below are approximations and do vary according to road conditions and the number of stops. We will rarely exceed six hours’ driving in one day.
All activities are of a moderate difficulty, such as climbing Dune 45 and visiting the White Lady rock painting at Brandberg. The walks on the Waterberg Plateau are classified as moderate to strenuous, as it can get a bit steep and rocky.
There are some days where we will have to get up before sunrise, but this will allow us to get the most from our activities (for example, the game drives in Etosha where we are more likely to see wildlife in the early mornings before it gets too hot).
As this is a fully supported camping trip, all cooking and camp chores are done for you. We will be camping everywhere, except in Swakopmund and Windhoek, in the well-equipped campsites common to Namibia. Due to the limited accommodation within Etosha National Park, it may be necessary to sleep outside the park on some or all the nights we are there. This will not impact on the number of game drives we have within the park.
