Day 1 –  OTJIWARONGO REGION
Upon arrival at Hosea Kutako International Airport (Windhoek), proceed through customs into the Arrivals Terminal, where you will be met by the ANA Representative. The ANA Representative will debrief you on your itinerary, discussing the itinerary, sightseeing on route and other related information, such as fuel stations and road conditions. Once you have been taken through your itinerary and all your questions have been answered, you will be assisted with checking out your rental vehicle and your Namibian journey starts!

One of the features of the Waterberg Plateau Park in Namibia is to serve as a breeding area for endangered animal species. These species include Rhinos, buffalo, sable and roan antelope. The Bernabe De La Bat resort is situated in one of the most spectacular features of the northern region. Towering some 200m above the surrounding landscape, the plateau with its sheer cliffs and fascinating rock formations is the habitat and breeding ground of several game species.

Accommodation at the Bernabe de la Bat Rest Camp includes two-bedded rooms and also one- and two-bedroom bungalows, sleeping three and five people respectively. Each bungalow has a kitchen equipped with a hot plate, kettle and refridgerator, but no crockery, cutlery or cooking utensils!! There is also a shower, wash basin and toilet. Bedding, soap and towels are provided. Each bungalow has its own outside “braai area”. Facilites at the grassy camp site include communal ablutions and a field kitchen. Facilities at the Bernabe de la Bat Rest Camp include a restaurant, a kiosk (which is open outside restaurant hours) and a swimming pool at the Rasthaus complex. Adjacent to the reception office is a shop, which stocks basic groceries, beer & wine as well as wood and souvenirs.
Overnight: Bernabe de la Bat Rest Camp (Camping)
Daily Mileage: 270km

Day 2 –  EASTERN-ETOSHA
Your journey continues in a northern direction, travelling via Otjiwarongo and Tsumeb and entering Etosha National Park at the eastern Von Lindequist gate.

Etosha National Park is one of Southern Africa's finest and most important Game Reserves. Etosha Game park was declared a National Park in 1907, and covering an area of 22 270 square km, it is home to 114 mammal species, 340 bird species, 110 reptile species, 16 amphibian species and, surprisingly, one species of fish. The Etosha Park is one of the first places on any itinerary for a holiday in Namibia.

Namutoni is situated on the eastern side of Etosha, and derives its name from the old German fort around which it is built. As a reminder of its military past, sunrise and sunset are observed by a bugler calling from the top of the watch tower, in the fort's north-eastern corner. The presence of the fort gives Namutoni more character than the other rest camps in Etosha, and in terms of accommodation, this is probably the best of the three rest camps.

The downside of staying at Namutoni is that the spot-lit waterhole here does not get nearly as much activity as those at either Halali or Okaukuejo. The resort has a swimming pool, restaurant and kiosk.
Overnight: Namutoni Campsite (Camping)
Daily Mileage: 370km

Day 3 & 4 –  WESTERN-ETOSHA
A full day spent in the world-renowned Etosha National Park. One of the world's pre-eminent wildlife areas, at the turn of the century the governor of then German South West Africa proclaimed an area of nearly 100.000 square kilometres as a game reserve - until modern times, the largest reserve on earth. Present day Etosha National Park was pared down due to political considerations in the 1960's, and is now a modest but still very impressive 23.175 square kilometres in extent. A vast area on Namibia's central plateau, a haven for 93 mammal species and 340 bird species, the park's focal point is the Etosha Pan - a flat saline desert, 130 km long by 50km at its widest in the eastern sector of the park.

The Pan itself is believed to have originated over 12 million years ago as a shallow lake fed by the Kunene River. Subsequent climatic and tectonic changes have since lowered the water level so that the pan only holds water for a brief period each year - it teems with flamingos and pelicans in the summer. The saline and mineral residues together with moisture from perennial springs attract an immense number and variety of game and birds from mid March into November, just before the new wet season starts.

Okaukuejo is the main area of tourist activity inside Etosha. Okaukuejo camp is the oldest tourist camp in Etosha and it currently functions as the administrative hub of the park, and the home of the Etosha Ecological Institute. It is situated at the western end of the pan. The main attraction of this camp is that it overlooks a permanent waterhole which is floodlit at night, giving you an opportunity to see some of the shy, nocturnal wildlife. The animals that visit the waterhole appear to be unaware of the Okaukuejo camp. The waterhole at Okaukuejo is visited by a variety of wildlife and common sightings include buck species, herds of elephant, rhino and lion.
Overnight: Halali & Okaukuejo Campsites (Camping)
Daily Mileage: 150 to 250km

Day 5 –  DAMARALAND
Today you head into southern-Damaraland. Dominating the landscape when travelling from Outjo to Khorixas is the Ugab Vingerklip situated amongst the rugged Ugab Terraces. About 35 m high, this distinctive monolith has been moulded into its curious shape by erosion spanning many millenniums.
In the heart of the arid and isolated wonder, between Swakopmund and Etosha National Park, nestled in the hills below the Brandberg and Spitzkoppe, the Alps of Namibia, lies Khorixas Lodge. The lodge provides a relaxing environment for travellers, weary after a day's exploration. The lodge is a haven and base for visitors, where they are lulled by the music of Africa, the murmuring of wind in Grabis Ravine.Near Khorixas, in the land of the Burnt mountain and Petrified Forest, where the stone trees grew and died. Bushmen etched their history at Twyfelfontein, the fountain of doubt. The guest can see the land of the Welwitschia Mirabilis (can grow to be over 1.000 years old !) at Burnt Mountain, curious stone formation, Petrified Forest, ancient rock engravings and experience strange geological phenomena. After a cool swim, to wash away the sun, tuck into a braai, or dine in the a-la-carte restaurant.

Accommodation is in the en-suite and self catering stone house and standard rooms. All rooms have airconditioning. Camping is also available.
Services include: restaurant, shop, bar with a big lounge and television, pool table, swimming pool, birdwatching, scenic drives and walking trails.
Overnight: Khorixas Lodge (Bed & Breakfast Basis)
Daily Mileage: 250km

Day 6 –  SWAKOPMUND
Visit the nearby Petrified Forest, where a cataclysmic event deposited giant tree trunks millions of years ago. These subsequently turned into stone. Today the Namib's living fossil plant, Welwitschia mirabillis, grows among these prostate fossilised trunks.
Twyfelfontein resembles a large, open-air art gallery. This treasure house of rock engravings left by stone-age artists is regarded as one of the richest collections of rock engravings in Africa. South of Twyfelfontein is the Burnt Mountain, a panorama of desolation with coloured rocks contrasting vividly against the grey-black surroundings. The Organ Pipes, a mass of basalt slabs in a ravine gouged by a river, is another geological curiosity in the area. Your journey proceeds to Swakopmund, travelling via the mining-town of Uis and Henties Bay. The Stiltz claims to offer the most spectacular views in Swakopmund overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the Swakop river-bed, the sand dunes and the bird rich lagoon at the river mouth. If that does not take your breath away, the architecture of these wooden bungalows, all of which are built on stilts, will! Each private bungalow has been attended to in the finest detail, interlinked by wooden walkways to the others and to the main dining bungalow. You will feel in a different space, yet you are only minutes away from the Swakopmund town centre with restaurants, lots of activities and other amenities.

The units are shaped rather like igloos and are all linked by walkways. The interiors are colourful, quirky, artistic and stylish, each unit having its own individual look. Light fittings at the entrance are fashioned creatively out of copper, all the bed linen is white, and curtains and drapes are bright organza drapes in varying glitzy colours of orange and gold, turquoise and blue, reds and purples. The bathrooms are especially eclectic with their rosewood doorframes, walls of coloured steel sheeting and terracotta floor tiles with crazy designs and colours.
Overnight: The Stiltz (Bed & Breakfast Basis)
Daily Mileage: 460km

Day 7 –  SOSSUSVLEI
Today you head to what is considered the highlight of the south, Sossusvlei with its monumental sand dunes, the highest of which has been measure from its base as being 325 m. Sesriem campsite is situated approximately 63km from Sossusvlei, and in close proximity of the Sesriem Canyon. Camping is in the shade of ancient camel thorn trees are available. Each camping site has its own fireplace, water point and communal ablution facilities are provided. Services include a shop, kiosk, swimming pool, bar, pool games, scenery & game drives, dune mountains climbing, etc. The Sesriem Canyon and Sossusvlei may be visited between sunrise and sunset only. The distance to Sossusvlei from the Sesriem camping site is approximately 63km, of which the last 4km is negotiable by four-wheel-drive vehicles only – a GREAT desert walk !!.
Overnight: Sesriem Campsite (Camping)
Daily Mileage: 400km

Day 8 –  SOSSUSVLEI

An early start is suggested so you enter the Namib-Naukluft Park at sunrise, while the temperature is still mild and when the dune contrasts are at their best. Regular stops can be made on the ±60 kilometre drive down to the vlei, taking in the vistas. At Dune 45, the more energetic have the opportunity to climb to the upper ridge of the world's most photographed dune. Further along, a gradual 2,6 kilometre round-trip walk up to Dead Vlei is a must for the healthy visitors. Spend time in Sossusvlei before returning to the campsite, where the remainder of the day is spent at leisure.
Overnight: Sesriem Campsite (Camping)
Daily Mileage: 150km

Day 9 -  KALAHARI
After a leisurely breakfast your journey continues, traveling in a easterly direction via Maltahohe and Mariental. Anib is the word for the male bird in the Nama language. The Nama people are predominant in the southern regions of Namibia, and the bird plays an important role in their mythology. In the midst of the red dunes of the Kalahari in eastern Namibia the lodge seems like a plush green oasis: the accommodation facilities, built from Kalahari-red brick, are grouped around a spacious courtyard with palm trees and acacias, a succulent garden and a large swimming pool.
Overnight: Kalahari Anib Campsite (Camping)
Daily Mileage: 280km

Day 10 –  WINDHOEK
Heading to the capital city, you travel Rehoboth (look at the Bastard culture!) arriving in Windhoek in time for lunch. You have the opportunity to explore the city centre before checking in at your overnight accommodation.
