Windhoek
Surrounded by the stubble-covered Auas Mountains and the endless KhomasHochland, Windhoek lies in a long valley fed by ancient hot springs in the central highlands. Namibia’s capital and bustling city. More often than not, the start or end place of your Namibia safari.
In Windhoek there are many interesting historical buildings, museums, galleries and craft shops. The city has several good restaurants and modern shops and services making it an excellent base camp from which to launch your Namibian adventure.
Day Itinerary
You will be met by your guide on arrival in Windhoek and handed your travel documents
City tour of Windhoek with your guide (if time permits)
The remainder of the day can be spent relaxing at your own leisure
For dinner tonight, you can head into town for a bite to eat at one of Windhoek’s well known restaurants
Overnight: The Windhoek Luxury Suites
The Windhoek Luxury Suites is a smart and swanky boutique guesthouse in Klein Windhoek - the smartest, swankiest part of town.
You're a block and short stroll away from a bunch of interesting restaurant and wine bar options and the botanical gardens are just down the road if you've got time during your stay in Namibia's capital.
The all-suite accommodation is spacious, neat and modern with elegant palettes, subtle lighting, super-comfy beds and all the mod-cons you'd find in any city hotel.
The exterior is all face brick and concrete with manicured gardens giving it a flawless appearance. It’s somewhat country living, somewhat industrial and it works. It’s neat and tidy and the interior follows suit.
The 40 rooms (including 4 family inter-leading options) give a vibe of “sophisticated simplicity” if that’s a thing. It’s paired back, discerned and refined without cutting any corners and still offering a luxurious feel without being over the top or dramatic.
Breakfast is served across the street at the Stellenbosch Market Restaurant. You’ll get a breakfast voucher on check-in. Pick from their menu. Everything is wholesome and delicious.

Sossusvlei
Star dunes with up to five crests rise 300m into the air and rank among the biggest in the world; the dune valleys are marked by vast clay pans where the Tsauchab River gave up its fight to reach the sea more than 60,000 years ago.
Besides the dunes and pans of Sossusvlei and Sesriem Canyon, a sideshow of activities and sights has developed around the region and there are plenty of game lodges that provide additional desert-adapted activities. Plants and birds are the dominant life form in this dessicated realm and they support a tiny world of mammals, reptiles and insects that, in the absence of coastal fog, seldom wander far from the rivercourse and its pans.
Day Itinerary
Windhoek – Sossusvlei 350km - approximately 5 to 6 hours
After breakfast, you can still pop into town for anything you might need and then depart heading south from Windhoek to your lodge for the next 2 nights
The route will take you either via the beautiful Spreetshoogte or Remhoogte Pass, both showcasing the natural beauty of Namibia
Wake up early for breakfast (Day 3) and then head to the entrance to Sossusvlei, the Sesriem Gate
Spend the whole day in the beautiful Sossusvlei area, exploring the highlights: Sossusvlei, DeadVlei, Dune 45, Big Daddy, Elim Dune and the Sesriem Canyon
Return to the lodge for lunch or arrange a lunch pack to enjoy in the dunes and return late afternoon for a well-earned rest
Optional extra activities: Hot air balloon safari, Nature drives
Overnight: Desert Homestead Lodge
The Desert Homestead is a tranquil and unfussy lodge near Sossusvlei. Comfortable thatch chalets compliment the rich tapestry of the Namib Desert and the main living area is a serene salutation of the passing days.
While close to Sesriem and Sossusvlei, The Desert Homestead is more about a tranquil experience of the Namib Desert on horseback than the spectacle of the great sand dunes.
The lodge is made up of beautiful thatch-roofed pastel-walled chalets that lend themselves to the quiet charm of this magical region. Inside the 27 chalets (including a family room), the serenity continues: soft, white linens against dark furniture and whitewashed walls. Private verandahs look out over the plain that is framed by craggy mountains in every direction.
The main lodge is a light and airy mix of open relaxation and cosy retreat. Hearty homestead meals are enriched by the setting and with home-grown ingredients. The swimming pools provide languid refreshment after a hot day's riding.

Overnight: Swakopmund Luxury Suites
Swakopmund Luxury Suites pack comfort and convenience into an elegant apartment-style accommodation option in the belly of Swakopmund's restaurant quarter.
Although “suites” is a bit of stretch size-wise, for comfort you can expect elegant, neutral décor that is easy on the senses and top quality linen with quite possibly the most comfortable bed you’ll encounter on your tour of Namibia. Attention to detail includes Nespresso machines with complimentary pods, bath robes, extra thick towels, wi-fi that actually works, climate control, mini-bar and that general air of purpose and cleanliness of a professional outfit.
For convenience you are a few minutes’ walk to the beach, restaurants, cafes and main attractions of central Swakopmund - a feature you will welcome after many hours’ in the car on Namibia’s long and dusty roads. And the day reception is staffed with the friendliest of friendly Namibians who add that personal touch and valuable insider’s information for making the most of your visit.
A secluded upper deck lined with comfortable recliners and deck chairs is a wonderful place to catch up with your digital life. Or escape it entirely with a good book and a glass of chardonnay. Parking out front is secure with 24-hour watch and CCTV and, occupying the first storey down a pedestrianised side street, the location is quiet and safe.
Breakfast at the Swakopmund Luxury Suites is a delight. The breakfast room is stunning and the food is delicious. A great way to start your day before you head off to explore where the dunes meet the sea. You are just a short walk to the main beach and the main streets of town. Splendid.

Etosha South
Located just south of the boundary of Etosha National Park in northwestern Namibia, Etosha South makes up the southern region of this wild paradise. The area is comprised of a collection of world class private game reserves. The national park can be accessed via the southern entrance at Andersson’s Gate. Visitors can catch a glimpse of a variety of wildlife including: lion, giraffe, elephant, white and black rhino, and a multitude of plains game.

Day Itinerary
Swakopmund – Etosha (south) 495 km - approximately 6 hours
After breakfast, head to Etosha National park.
If time permits, enter Etosha for an afternoon game drive. Depending on how often you stop today, you should arrive at your lodge in time for lunch (optional extra)
On entering the park, the first stop would be Okaukuejo where you pay your entry fee (included) and I suggest you pop in at the local shop to purchase some drinks and snacks and most importantly, a map of Etosha which will show you all the waterholes along the way
Etosha is one of Africa's great game parks. With 114 species of mammal and 340 species of birds you are sure to see a great variety of wildlife on your safari
Overnight: Etosha Safari Lodge
Etosha Safari Lodge, although on the larger side, offers a peaceful atmosphere and a rustic ambience of tasteful decor. And of course there's that view. Endless.

With individual chalets spread along a low hill overlooking a vast expanse of African bush, Etosha Safari Lodge offers comfort, convenience and that ever-important feeling of being far from people and deep in the beautiful countryside.
The lodge is nine kilometers from the southern entrance to Etosha National Park - Namibia's premier safari destination - and you can easily drive your own vehicle into the park and enjoy exceptional game viewing at one of many natural waterholes on the edge of the Etosha Pan. You can also join the daily safari into the park in a custom-fitted safari vehicle where your guide offers amazing insight into the animals, birds, plants and history of the area.
When you are not in the park make use of any of the three swimming pools, enjoy a drink at the bar which overlooks this mopane savannah, or relax in your air conditioned chalet. The 65 double chalets, spaced well apart from each other, are fitted with a solar geysers (with electric back-up to ensure hot water at all times), en suite bathrooms, and large verandahs to embrace the never ending views.

Etosha East
On the eastern edge of Etosha National Park, the park itself is bordered by numerous private reserves and access into the park is via the Von Lindequist Gate, named after Dr.Friedrich von Lindequist who proclaimed it a game reserve in March 1907. This side of the park is characterised by flat endless plains, tree-savanna type of vegetation and fantastic waterholes, where you could easily spot any of the prolific wildlife Etosha is known for. There's an abundance of wildlife here.
Day Itinerary
Etosha (south) – Etosha (east) a full day's game drive through the park
From one side to the other side of the park is a full day game drive as you drive slowly east stopping at numerous waterholes along the way
Take a slow drive in the morning and ending for lunch at the Halali Resort which is half way between Okaukuejo and the eastern exit gate or take a picnic lunch along and stop off at a waterhole
Overnight: Onguma Bush Camp
Onguma Bush Camp is a comfortable, family-orientated lodge in a private reserve on the eastern edge of Etosha National Park. With 18 rooms including family suites as well as a small campsite, the atmosphere is tranquil and casual.

This comfortable lodge is located on the edge of the park near Fisher's Pan and the eastern entrance to Etosha. The rates are reasonable and the lodge is neat, small and an excellent base for families.
The en suite, air-conditioned rooms are built from local stone and have thatched roofs. The pool, open-air lapa and dining area provide the venues for some pleasant banter, spectacular sunsets and hearty meals. The lounge and dining area overlooks a waterhole for around-the-clock game viewing.

Caprivi West
Caprivi West forms part of the Caprivi strip that protrudes from the northeastern corner of Namibia into Botswana and bordering on Angola. Here you're east of Rundu and on the western side of the Bwabwata National Park. The Caprivi is a lush, sub-tropical wetland offering a wealth of natural resources and serves as a haven for an abundance of wildlife, including the critically endangered African wild dog. This is the only spot in Namibia where one can spot the majestic Nile crocodile and the mighty hippo.
The Caprivi is a paradise for nature lovers with its free-roaming wildlife and postcard-perfect areas. Birdwatchers will be overjoyed as they keep an eye out for the 400 plus bird species that soar above. Visit the rapids of Popa Falls, go on game drives in the Mahango and Buffalo Core Areas of the greater Bwabwata National Park and enjoy the Okavango River.
Day Itinerary
Etosha (east) – West Caprivi 600km - approximately 7 to 8 hours
Depart Etosha and drive east to Grootfontein, then north to Rundu before making your way east to Bagani, close to the Popa Falls
Enjoy the afternoon at leisure and if time allows you can visit Popa Falls.
Optional extra would be a sunset boat cruise or a Kavango Village visit in the area
Overnight: Shametu River Lodge
Picture yourself as The Mariner, Kevin Costner's anti hero, meandering through the water. Think mokoro rather than a trimaran, river rather than sea. This is for those of you that like the waterworld of Africa. But whereas the film's been described as a mess masquerading as a movie you'll exit this lodge feeling calm, chilled and chipper.
Louis and Amori fancied a retirement home in the Caprivi and this is it. Next to the Bwabwata National Park you're as close to the Kavango River you can get without actually sitting in it. The lodge literally peers out of the bushes like a lazy croc. It's an easy drive to access the small village of Divundu, which is approx 10km away - it's not much more than a petrol station and a shop of a place but it's rich in the culture of the Kavango people - locals fish with nothing more glamorous than a worm, children swim and Nguni cattle wander along. You'll also be close to the Popa Falls - more of a series of rapids running over the rocks than a waterfall but they're still stunning and popular.
Luxury chalets are big and bang on the banks of the river. You can see Popa Falls, you can hear hippos roaring. Brown leathery chairs, white bed linen. The standard chalets are not on the banks but you still get a view of the river. The luxury tents are permanent, sit on stilts and they're on the riverbanks. Definitely glamping you'll have the same ensuite, lounge area, coffee making facilities and mosquito nets as the two chalet options. The camping option's hardly slumming it either - you'll get your braai spruced up over night as well as your pots and pans washed up - when does that happen?! You'll also have your own ablution block and kitchen facilities. These have roofs so you're sheltered in the rainy season and shaded when it's hot. There's also a family style campsite if you want to share washing and cooking together. Each campsite also has access to electricity and running water.
The main lodge has a coffee shop which serves breakfast and light meals till 3pm. They also import decent coffee and the resident baker (yup, baker) bakes cakes and tarts which is extremely civilised of them.
There's a swimming pool by the river so you can watch the water flow without worrying about the crocs. Talking of predators, you can go fishing and try and snare the number one bad guy after the crocodile - the manically grinning and frankly terrifying looking tiger fish. This is a high speed killing machine and keen fishermen will know it's a source of pride to try and mess with this king. Local advice is, don't eat it, they do but apparently there are too many bones for the majority of our highly strung palates.

Maun
Maun. A town in northern Botswana on the banks of Thamalakane River. To the San people, the place of short reeds. To today’s tourists, the gateway to the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe river. It's a tiny outpost really, halfway between the juicy delta and the parched salt pans. This is Botswana’s tourism capital and the fifth largest town of Botswana.
From Maun take a day trip to explore the famed wetlands of the Okavango Delta or take a scenic flight to discover the vast expanse of sprawling river channels that bring to life to this verdant oasis. Have a sundowner on the Thamalakane River, a great spot for a drink and to enjoy one of Africa's famed sunsets. Enjoy local village and cultural tours and meet the friendly Batswana people
Day Itinerary
West Caprivi – Maun 430km - approximately 5 to 6 hours
Depart early and enjoy a game drive in the Mahango Game Park before you make your way via the Mohembo border post into Botswana.
Your drive today takes you via Gumare on to Sehithwa before turning northeast to Maun
Your guide will drop you off on arrival and bid you farewell.
Enjoy the afternoon at your own leisure. Relax at the lodge and enjoy a sundowner
Overnight: Thamalakane River Lodge
Thamalakane River Lodge on the edge of the Moremi Game Reserve offers an Okavango Delta experience without the expense of flying in to a remote and luxuriously-priced safari lodge inside the park.
Perched on the river after which it is named, accommodation at Thamalakane is in huge stone and thatch chalets with large en suite bathrooms and a glorious view of the river and African bush beyond. Some chalets have private splash pools - great in summer and for an added touch of romance.
The living area is casual and relaxed with a large open-fronted thatched dining and lounge area and a swimming pool that will be very hard to extract yourself from. While the food, wine and service won't win this place any awards, you can expect good value for money in wonderful setting.
Thamalakane is a convenient overnight stop about 20km from Maun, which serves as your entry point into the Okavango Delta. If you can spare an extra night or two but not the pocket change, Thamalakane offers day trips into the delta which is about a 90-minute drive. You can opt for a full day's game drive; a full day's mokoro ride; and a full day's delta boat safari. All the activities are fascinating but if you must choose only one it should be the mokoro - your guide/poler is a man of the delta and this is the most intimate, scenic and unique nature experience Botswana has to offer (and that's saying something).
The delta boat excursion is good combination of both game drive and mokoro ride as you get to see some big game especially elephants and cover a much greater area of the delta.

Okavango Delta
Crammed with every conceivable species of bird and beast, the delta is an Eden of excess. Amazing game viewing and birding in a scenic and tranquil African wilderness. If you’re looking for a true African safari. Look no further.
The quintessential delta experience: game drives in open safari vehicles and gliding in silence through the waterways on an African-style gondola carved from a single tree.
Access into the Okavango Delta is difficult, getting around is difficult, carting supplies in and waste out is difficult. These are all good things for this vast wildlife wilderness is utterly picturesque and devoid of human influence.
If constant close-ups of elephant, buffalo, lion, giraffe, hyena, jackal and plenty of large and small antelope start to grow old, there's always the chance encounter with cheetah, leopard, wild dog, and red lechwe to spice things up.
Day Itinerary
Road transfer to Maun Airport and then light aircraft transfer to the lodge
(please take note of luggage restrictions)
2 nights makes this a 1.5 day stay and activities here focus on the water channels and the open floodplains of Chief's Island. Enjoy mokoro activities, game walks and boat cruises as included.
Overnight: Moremi Crossing
Moremi Crossing is a modern and eco-friendly safari lodge in the Okavango Delta overlooking the Boro River and Chief's Island.
The transfer to Moremi Crossing is exciting enough: a scenic flight over the Okavango Delta lands at Chief's Island and a boat ride takes you to the doorstep of this apparently floating island lodge.
Built in the style of an exclusive and luxurious lodge, the camp manages to keep the price tag relatively low without compromising the essentials, these being: an beautiful and tranquil location, surrounded by the floodplains and channels of the Okavango Delta; amazing views from everywhere; exceptional game viewing and wilderness experience with elephant munching the trees nearby and hippos wallowing in front; exclusive access to first-rate game guides and activities including mokoro safaris, walking safaris and sunset river cruises; and of course comfortable accommodation, friendly service and good food.
The rooms are tented safari suites on wooden decks above the water level and connected by walkways. Each has an en suite bathroom with open-air showers - solar-heated water - flushing toilets with natural waste water filtration and large private balconies.
The living area at Moremi Crossing, buttressed by the dense riparian growth behind and the Boro River in front, is a multi-tiered wood and thatch construction above the water. Choose to laze in one of the private lounge areas, the bar, the dining area or the outdoor fireside deck.
Moremi Crossing has a small swimming pool shaded by wild fig, lined with loungers and surrounded by wild African bush.

Chobe River Front
The Chobe River forms the northern boundary of the Chobe National Park which is renowned for its diverse and abundant game viewing opportunities. This section of the park is best known for its dense concentration of wildlife, including elephant and hippo populations, but the waters attract all manner of game including large herds of buffalo and the lions that prey on them - a visit to the Chobe River Front guarantees close encounters with an array of African wildlife. Visitors can look forward to a range of exciting activities such as 4WD along the banks; motorboat cruises; and rare birdlife spotting. For a unique, luxury safari experience, hire a houseboat.
Day Itinerary
This morning after a last activity in the Delta (if time allows) you will fly by light aircraft transfer to Kasane, which is the town close to the Chobe National Park and on to your lodge for the night
You have 1x activity included. Enjoy optional extra activities at your own leisure and as time allows. A boat cruise on the Chobe River is recommended
Overnight: Chobe Safari Lodge
If you want to experience the Chobe River and the Chobe National Park then you'll want to stay at Chobe Safari Lodge, in Kasane, Botswana.
Chobe Safari Lodge sits on the edge of the Chobe River (as the name would suggest), but that also means that it borders four countries! Pretty impressive, if its location to Chobe National Park, itself wasn't.
This is quite a romantic spot, while you can see it is decorated in a traditional safari style; the pool, room service and private cruises tell a different, more luxurious story.
Here you can stay in a variety of accommodation such as suites, rooms, bungalows and even camping. The accommodation is a little less fabulous than the private cruise waiting for you, but we can let it slide. The rooms are very simple with double beds, a desk and an en-suite, but unfortunately no mini-fridge and water (something you expect if you don't want to run to the bar each time for a glass of water.) However there is a TV, WiFi and as we mentioned before, room service.
But let's be fair, if you come all this way you are not going to be spending much of your time in the room anyway. Outside you have a huge pool waiting for you, an open plan restaurant overlooking the pool and that gorgeous view of the river and a small island opposite that would make anyone back at home jealous. When you go have dinner, make sure to dive into a Kudu steak, it's the best one you will ever have.
There is also a little shop, a health and beauty salon and cocktail bar for your to indulge in with gifts, a new holiday (or honeymoon) look and a fancy drink on top of it all just because you deserve it.
With this picture-perfect view and never-ending river, we won't forgive you if you are just sitting at the pool all day. Make sure to tackle land and water with that private boat cruise or a game drive to spot the iconic Chobe elephants. If you are tempted by what's around the corner you can even book an overnight or day trip to go to the Victoria Falls.
It is worth the mention that Chobe Safari Lodge is the oldest one in the region, so while some small details may be out of date (and style) other things have just been perfected, including the decor in the rooms more recently refurbished. Here it's all about the safari experience and you're bound to have one of the most memorable safari experiences by far.

Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe)
A gazillion tonnes of water thundering over a sheer cliff drowns all other sounds. The swirling mist hides all sign of human activity. Beyond your rain forest sanctuary people are hurling themselves off bridges, across gorges, into walls of raging water and out of aircraft.
Victoria Falls is a paradox of tranquil beauty and exciting adventure.
Mosi-oa-Tunya, 'The Smoke that Thunders' is undoubtedly Zimbabwe's finest and most well-known attraction. It is or rather was (if you're keeping up with the latest list) one of the Seven World Wonders. We still believe it deserves the title. It truly is spectacular and not considered to be one of the world's largest waterfalls without good reason. It's not the widest or the highest, yet it is considered to the largest based on its combined width, at 1,708 metres wide and height, at 108 metres. Impressively it takes the title for the largest sheet of falling water.
Day Itinerary
Enjoy breakfast and then you will be transferred to Victoria Falls into Zimbabwe … your driver will assist with the border crossing which is an experience in itself
Visit to Victoria Falls this afternoon, either on your own or arrange to go with a guide
Recommended is a sunset Zambezi boat cruise to end the day (optional extra) or look to dine at The Boma Restaurant for a taste of the African flavours, action, music and atmosphere
Overnight: Batonka Guest Lodge
Batonka Guest Lodge is a hybrid of a boutique hotel and owner-run guesthouse on the outskirts of Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean side. In a quiet spot with immaculate gardens, you're close enough to explore the falls.
The Batonka has 27 rooms arranged around a swimming pool and an immaculate garden; a large living area houses the reception, curio shop, dining room, lounge, bar and huge shaded verandah.
Decor is simple and stylish with a nod to the elegance of colonial times and a full-on yodel to the sophistication of modern times. Mozzy-netted four-poster beds dominate the large rooms and the en suite bathrooms are enormous - all have extra-big shower units, some also have bathtubs. Tiled floors, ceiling fans and air conditioning take care of the temperatures and the water is solar-heated. A large flat-screen TV and Wi-Fi tick the downtime box as does the small balcony overlooking the garden.
Claire and Rowan and their delightful team make the difference between a well-priced, well-appointed guesthouse and the highlight accommodation of your holiday. Batonka quickly made its mark, which is hardly surprising given their pedigree. We have every confidence these high standards will be maintained.
So in Batonka Guest Lodge you’ve got a well-priced, comfortable and friendly place to stay. What more could you want? How about one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World a pleasant half hour walk away?
Victoria Falls is one of those experiences that never gets old. Through a dense rainforest of its own making you hear the roar long before arriving at the sheer cliff opposite the thundering cascade. The power and scale of the world’s largest waterfalls are at once exhilarating and just that little bit terrifying. And of course, in addition to spending a day exploring the waterfalls from all angles, there is a silly amount of additional activities to choose from. Your hosts will book all your activities for you and even lay on a shuttle for the purpose, the only difficulty will be in choosing what to do.
