The land of unrelenting sun, where the ground seems to beg the heavens for rain, and the landscapes stretch uninterrupted for hundreds of kilometers on end. Where one gazes in wonder and amazement at the animals and plants that survive in this harsh environment. This tour covers all of the highlights of central and northern Namibia, but also concentrates on "off the beaten track" routes and attractions. Flexibility and an awareness of the elements are essential in order to get the most out of this tour.

DAY 1: WINDHOEK – NAMIB

Setting off from the capital, Windhoek at 09h00, we travel south to Rehoboth, and then towards the true Namib to the DRIFTERS DESERT CAMP bordering the Namibrand Nature Reserve. Arriving to watch the sunset, we are welcomed with a traditional meal, enjoyed under the desert skies. D

DAY 2 : NAMIB DESERT Awake to desert vistas that extend further than the eye can see. We spend two nights at the DRIFTERS DESERT CAMP nestled against a towering rock outcrop within this protected wilderness area. During our stay here, we will conduct extensive guided walks and game drives on the reserve in order to better understand the desert fauna and flora. B L D

This tour involves a certain amount of walking, so a small daypack is advisable. Certain areas of Namibia fall into a malaria area, so precautions are advisable. During winter the night time temperatures can fall below zero and during summer the daytime temperatures can reach the forties, so be prepared for this. Most major currencies can be exchanged on arrival in Windhoek and other centers, but banking hours do apply. Credit cards are generally accepted. Our price includes transport, food, coffee, teas, fruit juice at breakfast, a professional guide, group equipment, accommodation, permits and park entry fees. The price does not include alcohol and soft drinks, tips, curios and optional extras.
