You will be picked up between 8:00 am and 8:30 am.

We will travel north, stopping at small towns along the way including Okahandja, where we have time to visit Namibia’s largest wood carving market. The market is operated on a local co-operative basis and is one of the best places to shop for truly Namibian souvenirs.

Continuing north, passing through farmland, we aim to arrive at Okonjima during the mid-afternoon. This gives us time to set up our camp and relax in the shade for a while before heading out onto the property to take part in the afternoon’s activities. After our educational tour, we will return to camp and prepare for dinner under the African stars.

Starting early and continuing north, we will pass through some small towns making short stops for fresh supplies and fuel.

Continuing on to East Etosha’s Namutoni Camp, we'll again aim to arrive in time for lunch. This affords us leisure time before heading into the park during the cool of the late afternoon for our first game drive.

Today is a free day. The idea is to allow time for everybody to do their own thing. Swakopmund is a very pleasant seaside town with lots of shops, a good stretch of beach (although the Atlantic here is quite cold) and an open-air curio market. There is also a very good museum and the Namibian National Marine Aquarium is located in Swakopmund. Alternatively, there are various optional activities that can be arranged. These include airplane and microlight flights over the desert, scenic drives, fishing trips (both from the beach or in a boat), four-wheel motorcycle (quad bike) trips into the desert and over the sand dunes around Swakopmund, sandboarding trips (also in the dunes), skydiving, surfing, bird-watching and many other activities are available. Then you'll be dropped off at your place in Swakopmund.
