Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Windhoek

  Arebbusch Travel Lodge is situated just south of Windhoek on the B1, and is set on the banks of the river of the same name. Although the lodge is within the city's municipal limits, it's setting within the natural surroundings of the veld, it make it an ideal destination for the business traveller and tourist alike. Many guests prefer to be away from the hustle and bustle of city life, whilst still being only 10mins drive away from the capital's shopping centres, banking and medical facilities, airport and main attractions.

• Day 2 : Etosha

  Departing after breakfast, we turn north towards Etosha. En-route we will stop at the Okahandja craft market. Discover the hand make craftworks that are produced by the indigenous peoples of Namibia. Omaruru has truly made its mark on the Namibian plains. Its list of local attractions include dinosaur footprints at Otjihenamaparero, a museum commemorating Omaruru’s history, local craft shops and a winery boasting locally produced wines. Located between coastal town Swakopmund and northern Otjiwarongo, Omaruru is fast becoming an artist’s haven with cheese, wine, chocolate and wood carved items being just some of the local produce.
  
  A visit to the Etosha National Park is one of the highlights of travelling Namibia. Etosha, which was declared a game reserve by the German colonial administration back in 1907, covers an area of more than 22 000 square kilometres. In its centre lies a vast saltpan surrounded by grass and thorn savannah, Mopane bush land in the west and dry forest in the north-east. About two million years ago, this area was an enormous lake, fed by the Kunene River. However the lake slowly dried up because over time, the river changed its course. The Etosha National Park has a good infrastructure. Well-maintained gravel roads lead to the waterholes, where game viewing is at its best. In the three rest camps Okaukuejo, Halali and Namutoni, hotels, chalets and camping sites are available as well as restaurants, stores and swimming pools. The main entrance to the park is called the "Anderson Gate" at Okaukuejo in the south, where the park administration is also situated. The "Von Lindequist Gate" lies in the east near Namutoni. A new gate, the "Nehale lya Mpingana Gate" (King Nehale Gate) was opened at the beginning of 2003 in the north-east. The pan is just about always dry. However, in the southern parts there are have water-holes scattered throughout this area and form the basis of life for countless game. Be it a lion or an elephant, a giraffe or a zebra; almost all African animal species are represented in the huge nature reserve, approx. 22 000 square kilometres in size. There is an estimated number of 250 lions in the park, 300 rhinos, 2 500 giraffes, 6 000 zebras and more than 2 000 elephants. The dainty springbok are especially numerous; at least 20 000 of them roam the reserve. Often, they can be observed in enormous herds of several hundred animals.

• Day 8 : Botswana (Moremi Tongue)

  Today is your departure to the Okavango Delta. Departure time from this Lodge to the Divundu (Bagani) Airstrip will depend on the flight schedule provided.
  The Okavango Delta is the only inland delta of its kind and a unique oasis of life in the center of the arid Kalahari Desert. The 16,000 km2 delta owes its existence to rainfall in the Angolan highlands. The rainy season begins in November, and the floodwater begins its 250 kilometer journey downstream. Because of the gentle slope of the delta basin, the floods take around six months to make their way from Angola. The Okavango Delta consists of channels, tributaries and lagoons as well as floodplains, islands and mainland areas. There are two distinct areas of the Delta: the vegetation of the permanent swamp includes groves of wild date palm, swathes of papyrus, islands fringed with forest and lagoons covered with floating water lilies while the seasonal swamp consists of open floodplains which support tall and elegant real fan palms, sausage trees, fig trees and a variety of scrub vegetation.
  Nestled on a lush palm island in the heart of the northern Okavango Delta, Shinde is an intimate camp located on the edge of Shinde Lagoon, which simply teems with animal and birdlife. The camp's unique main area comprises a multi-tiered dining room and lounge set under canvas amongst the shade of ebony and mangosteen trees to complement the atmosphere of this original safari camp. Shinde offers a diverse range of activities, courtesy of its location which affords both water and land activities year round. Motorboats or mokoro provide a chance to experience the incredible bird, plant and reptile species found in the aquatic habitat of the Okavango Delta.
