14 Day Namibia & Botswana Tour 3-4 Star Accommodation

You may arrive at any time. Upon arrival in Windhoek, you have the rest of the day to spend exploring Namibia’s capital.

This morning, we meet at reception at 10h00 where we will be transferred to our accommodation on the edge of the Namib Desert. Ensure you have a good night’s rest because the next morning we leave for Sossusvlei. You will have a chance to experience the amazing colour changes of the world’s highest sand dunes. A 5km walk will take us to Sossusvlei and Deadvlei. Then in the afternoon we hike through the Sesriem Canyon.

Today we reach Walvis Bay where we sit and view the flamingos feeding, while we too enjoy our lunch together. The afternoon is spent in Swakopmund where we can walk around this German colonial town or partake in one of the optional excursions such as dolphin cruises or scenic flights over the Namib. Dinner is for your own expense.

The name ‘Damaraland’ was given to the north-central portion of Namibia and inhabited by the Damara people, an ethnic group that forms 8.5% of the population in Namibia. The area is an enormous and jagged landscape with mountain ranges interrupted by broad gravel plains which transform into sandy, vegetated riverbeds and hot, arid valleys. Our lodge is located on the top of a mountain giving us a bird’s eye view of the area. Enjoy an afternoon relaxing by the pool.

We continue on to the well-known Etosha National Park where we will take game drives and relax by the waterholes that are illuminated at night. The salt pan here is so large that it can be seen from space! The wildlife here is abundant and you will have plenty of photo opportunities. This evening, you can look forward to a game drive from our lodge.

We make our way into Etosha National Park which was first formed in 1907 when Namibia was a German colony referred to as ‘Southwest Africa’. The park is one of the most crucial reserves and game havens in Africa and is home to countless wildlife including the likes of blue wildebeest, springbok, zebra, kudu, giraffe, cheetah, leopard, lion and elephant. Our day is spent game driving through the reserve from west to east where we will look out for these animals and take short breaks to stretch our legs and enjoy the surroundings.

Departing from Etosha we make our way into the Caprivi, occasionally referred to as the Caprivi Strip, Caprivi Panhandle or the Okavango Strip, and previously known as Itenge. It is a thin protrusion of Namibia in the east that is around 450 kilometres long, between Botswana in the south, Angola and Zambia in the north, and the Okavango area to the west.

Embark on a journey through the Caprivi region, crossing into Botswana and traveling by road to a lodge nestled on the fringe of the Okavango Delta. The next day, a 30-minute boat ride takes you deeper into the delta, where mokoro and boat excursions explore the serene backwaters of the Nxamasire area. Depending on water levels, guided nature walks on smaller islands offer an intimate encounter with this unique ecosystem.

Crossing the Zimbabwean border, we arrive at Victoria Falls – without a doubt the most spectacular sight in Africa.

There is free time in the afternoon and the following morning to explore the local markets and to participate in the many optional activities on offer in this adrenaline capital of Africa, including helicopter flights over the Falls and a visit to the Falls (own expense).

Our magnificent journey comes to an end after breakfast. Should you wish to extend your stay in Victoria Falls, then please speak to your travel consultant.
