Namibia - Etosha and the Deserts (13 Days)

Vast desert and mountain landscapes; the stark simplicity of rock and sand; magical light and colour effects over the vast distances; friendly and vibrant people; and superb nature and game-viewing opportunities. We fly you to Windhoek (1 night) for an exciting and comprehensive 13-day tour of central Namibia, by air-conditioned minibus or small coach with Landscape guide. From Windhoek we head south to the Namib Naukluft Park and the famous Sossusvlei dunes, staying at a guest farm (2 nts). Then we explore the stone desert and Moon Landscape with its ancient Welwitschia plants, visit Walvis Bay and stay in Swakopmund (2 nts). Set between desert and sea, this colourful old colonial town and its surroundings are full of interest. We cross Damaraland's rocky wilderness, visiting the Spitzkoppe. Our lodge is at the foot of the Brandberg, and we can stroll in this magnificent mountain area (1 nt). Next day we continue across Damaraland via Vingerklip to Outjo (1nt). We enter Namibia's most famous National Park - Etosha (3 nts), staying at Halali Camp (2 nts) and a private lodge just outside the Park (1 nt). The game viewing here is superb, whether sitting still to observe the activities at the camp's waterhole, or on frequent game drives throughout the area. We move southwards to the Tsumeb and Otjiwarongo area (1 nt), visiting the fascinating underground Lake Otjikoto. Later we stop at Okahandja, famous for its woodcarvers markets. We stay at a nearby game lodge(1 nt). Next day we head for Windhoek for our return flight.
