• Day 1 : Windhoek, Namibia - Gamsberg, Namibia

  Your adventure starts in Windhoek where you will meet your guide in the morning, ready to start your tour. On the first leg of the journey, you will travel to Gamsberg, which is a prominent table mountain in the Hakos mountains, south-west of Windhoek. High up on the Gamsberg Pass you will find your campsite for the night. After setting up camp, take a moment to relax and take in the surroundings. In the afternoon, you can explore the surrounding area on a tour together with your guide. Look out for mountain zebras, Oryx antelopes and kudus and enjoy the fantastic views of the wild mountains. In the evening, you can look forward to a delicious campsite dinner and the starry night sky.

• Day 2 : Gamsberg, Namibia - Sesriem, Namibia

  After a hearty breakfast and the packing up of the camp, your journey continues south through beautiful farmland. The bumpy and bendy approach road to the next mountain pass will reward you with views from the spectacular Spreetshoogte Pass, one of the most beautiful in the country. From the view point you will have magnificent views across the Namib Desert and beyond. You continue downhill to the plains until you pass the unique town of Solitaire and reach your campsite in Sesriem. In the afternoon, you will visit Sesriem Canyon which was formed over millions of years ago by the Tsauchab River. On a hike, you can explore the impressive rock formations of the canyon. Spend the evening sitting around a crackling campfire, before falling asleep in your tent.

• Day 3 : Sossusvlei, Namibia - Rostock Ritz, Namibia

  Today, you rise earlier than the sun. While it’s still dark outside, you make your way towards Sossusvlei so by the time the sun rises, you find yourself surrounded by the dunes of the Namib Desert. Sip your tea or coffee with a biscuit and watch the sun grow bigger behind the dunes, colouring them in a fascinating chase of light and shadow. Afterwards, you visit the famous Sossusvlei and Dead Vlei. The contrast between the white Vleis, the rust-red dunes and the dark blue sky makes for impressive memories and outstanding photographs. Back at camp, you rejuvenate with an extensive brunch. Once camp is packed up, you continue to Rostock Ritz at the edge of the Namib Desert. You can spend the rest of the afternoon at your leisure. Enjoy the beautiful views across this untouched landscape and the solitude of this secluded place.

• Day 4 : Rostock Ritz, Namibia - Swakopmund, Namibia

  At sunrise, you have the opportunity to go for a walk. There is nothing more enchanting than to let your gaze wander across the seemingly endless and solitary landscape in the light of the early morning hours! On your return, your guide welcomes you back with a great breakfast. You continue to the coastal town of Swakopmund at the Atlantic Ocean and swap nature for civilisation – just for a short while. In the afternoon, you explore Swakopmund on a city tour. Swakopmund is known as the German city of Namibia; you are reminded of the German colonial time on many corners. You will recognise the German language, cuisine and architecture, including the train station and court house. Have dinner in one of the many restaurants (at your own cost). This evening you will spend the night in the cosy Sandfields Guesthouse (or equivalent)

• Day 5 : Swakopmund, Namibia - Brandberg, Namibia

  After breakfast, you leave Swakopmund, heading towards Cape Cross and its seal colony, one of the largest in the world. Seal next to seal as far as the eye can see – a true spectacle on land and sea. Along a beautiful route, you continue inland to the marvellous Brandberg mountain. You will set up camp under shade-giving trees in the dry river bed of Ugab River. In the afternoon, a local guide takes you on a casual hike to the well-known rock painting of the “White Lady”. Back at camp, relax and take a nap. Keep a look out for visitors, because now and then desert elephants cross the area.

• Day 6 : Brandberg, Namibia - Palmwag, Namibia

  You reach the Petrified Forest before lunch time, and be prepared to be amazed by the petrified trunks which are more than 200 million years old. You will also take a closer look at the Welwitschia plant and the Organ Pipes, ancient pillars of basalt that you find here. Your ultimate destination for today is Palmwag, an oasis of palm trees at Uniab River in north-west Damaraland. You can take a quick dip in the pool before you go on a game drive around the 5,000 square kilometre large private concession area. The flat hills and rare plants look magnificent in the afternoon light. Plenty of wildlife is at home here, among them Oryx antelopes, kudus, ostriches, jackals and hyenas. With a little bit (lot) of luck, you might even spot a lion, the rare black rhino or desert elephants. Enjoy a sundowner drink and watch the sunset before heading back to camp. For a change, you have dinner at a restaurant, and you can look forward to a delicious menu.
