Tour Details


Day 1:

Leaving Cape Town, we head north through the wine growing regions. We cross the Piketberg Pass into the rich fruit growing area of Citrusdal. Our first night is spent in a picturesque campsite surrounded by local wine farms. This afternoon we have the opportunity to sample some of the nectar of the gods or to explore the surrounding beautiful Cederberg Mountains. (Lunch & Dinner)
Day 2:

From the Cederberg we travel north through the region known as Namaqualand. This region is well known for its prolific display of Namaqua wildflowers that occur each spring. After stopping for supplies in Springbok we will continue onto the Orange River, the natural land border between South Africa and Namibia. Tonight we will camp at a beautiful campsite on the South African bank of the river. (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)
Day 3:

This morning you have the option of a half-day canoe trip on the beautiful Orange River. The canoe trip provides the opportunity for some bird watching as well as a scenic and relaxing ride. After lunch we cross into Namibia and have a short drive to Hobas campsite and the Fish River Canyon, the second largest in the world although reputed to be the most spectacular. 161km long, up to 27 kms wide and about 550m deep, the outer canyon was formed by tectonic activity whilst the erosion of the Fish River formed the inner canyon. A road running near the eastern rim gives access to several viewing points with spectacular views across the canyon. (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)
Day 4:

After a leisurely morning at Fish River Canyon we head north into the southern farming area of Namibia. We will stop for supplies in the small, former missionary town of Bethanie. From there we will choose our camp for the evening – no matter where we camp here it will be a remote experience. (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)
Day 5:

Heading north we enter the Namib - Naukluft Park, considered to be one of the oldest deserts in the world. Sesreim is a good place to experience the Namib and it's many moods. A short distance away is Sossusvlei, surrounded by a dramatic sea of sand dunes reputed to be the highest in the world. Magnificent views of the desert can be seen from the top of the dunes, some over 300m high. The afternoon will be spent exploring this amazing area. An optional and must do excursion is to walk in this area with the highly specialised local guides of Sossus on Foot. The guide will bring the amazing history, geology, flora, fauna and cultural legacy of the Bushman to you. Tonight we will view the sunset from the top of Dune 45 – a truly memorable experience. (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)
Day 6:

After watching the sunrise across this beautiful area we leave the serenity of the dunes and head in a north, easterly direction to meet the Atlantic Ocean at Walvis Bay. Following the coast for some 35kms, we arrive at Namibia’s prime holiday resort - Swakopmund where we will enjoy rest and relaxation. Accommodation will be in dormitories. Upgrades are available. (Brunch)
Day 7:

Founded in 1892 during the German colonial rule, the distinct colonial character has been well preserved. Swakopmund has several excellent restaurants, bars, coffee shops as well as many arts and crafts shops selling Namibian rural art. There are fine beaches to walk along as well as a great museum, aquarium and galleries to visit. Optional excursions include fishing trips, quad biking, sand boarding, skydiving, desert flights, water sports, golf and 4WD hire. Your tour will end after breakfast, enabling guests to spend as many days as desired in Swakopmund. (Breakfast)
