Picking up your hire car in Windhoek, you’ll soon find yourself amidst the astonishing sand seas of Sossusvlei, admiring fiery red dunes, hiking through canyons and picnicking under camel thorn trees. From here you’ll set off to discover the colonial relics of Swakopmond, before heading into the Erongo Mountains where knowledgeable guides are on hand to reveal the region’s fascinating bushman rock art.
Next on your itinerary comes Damaraland, a wild and remote wilderness roamed by desert-adapted rhino and elephant, before visiting Etosha National Park for encounters with its diverse population of mammals, reptiles and birds. You’ll end this wonderful journey with two nights at Okonjima Nature Reserve, headquarters of the renowned AfriCat Foundation.
