WINDHOEK TO CAPE TOWN ODYSSEY

Few countries in Africa can match Namibia’s sheer natural beauty. The country’s name derives from its (and the world’s) oldest desert, the Namib, and there are few more stirring desert realms on the planet – from the stunning sand sea and perfect dead-tree valleys at Sossusvlei to the otherworldliness of sand dunes plunging down to the ocean at Sandwich Harbour and the Skeleton Coast.

Expedition Itinerary

Day One (27th Dec): Fly into Windhoek

Our trip starts with a flight to Windhoek, Namibia. Transfer from the airport to the camp to arrive in time for lunch, check in, and settle in for the afternoon.
Spend the afternoon relaxing and shopping. A short town tour can show you the highlights of the town.

Day Two (28th Dec): Windhoek to Swakopmund to Walvis bay

Today we travel to the Atlantic coast of Namibia stopping to explore Spitzkoppe peak along the way. Swakopmund is a colonial town established by Germans in 1982.
