The Kalahari Desert is home to the San-people. Despite its name, meaning “great thirst”, the region does attract wildlife.

A visit to the Sossusvlei, the world’s oldest desert is an absolute ‘must’.

Landscapes will change over and over again while you drive to your next destination, Sossusvlei. This awe-inspiring sea of sand is located within Africa’s largest protected area, Namib-Naukluft Park. The most famous pictures of Namibia are definitely taken here: sharp lines that separate the intense red dunes of Sossusvlei, in contrast with an eye blinding white salt pan and scorched black trees at Deadvlei.

It almost seems surreal!A climb on one of the world’s highest dunes of the oldest desert, will be rewarding by amazing views over the far stretching landscapes of the Namib sand sea, especially during an early sunrise or afternoon sunset.

This historical town has some characteristics of a German seaside resort: apart from the ocean, beach and swaying palm trees, this town is still carries some of its colonial influences. Enjoy a coffee with an “Apfelstrudel” or a “Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte” and look at some typical German architecture. A

lthough Swakopmund is an urban area, it is surrounded by nature, offering plenty of experiences for nature lovers and for thrill seekers: a kayaking tour or catamaran cruise to meet seals, pelicans and maybe even dolphins! Adrenaline seekers can take a sand board or quad bike and go into the dunes. A living desert tour is a great way to get more understanding of the miraculous way in which life adapts to the harsh conditions of the desert climate.

You will then turn back inland, where you will see an enormous mountain looming ahead of you: the Brandberg, best known for its ancient “White Lady” rock painting.

Entering beautiful Damaraland feels like you are going back in time. These ancient landscapes, scattered with enormous boulders and dry riverbeds, house the more than 2,500 rock engravings of Twyfelfontein, once made by the San-people to inform their fellow tribe members about nearby waterholes and possible predators. If you are lucky, you might bump into the largest inhabitants of the area, the mysterious desert elephants. These beautiful animals have remarkably adapted to the harsh conditions of the desert.

Have your binoculars ready while exploring the 22,270 square kilometers of protected nature within the Etosha National Park.

Today, you will spend the entire day on a self-drive safari in the Etosha National Park. It’s best to head out right after breakfast, as the day will be slow-paced while exploring the western side of the park. The Etosha National Park is home to thousands of animals from a variety of species, most of which can be found at the waterholes. Depending on the season, it can get quite lively, and you might find yourself surrounded by hundreds of springboks, zebras, elephants, and other incredible wildlife inhabiting this vast national park.

 The accommodations and campsites in the park give you the opportunity to travel through the park at a slow pace. Also, outside the park you will find nice lodges. You will be the driver of your own safari, which is unique in Africa. However, camps in and around the park do offer guided game drives. Look around for lions, cheetahs and leopards. With sunset, make yourself comfortable at one of the park’s waterholes at your accommodation, and see how elephants, giraffes, zebras and antelopes gather to drink some fresh water. This is a truly unforgettable experience!

It's a great idea to stop for a snack or even a quick lunch at the Halali Resort along the way. Finally, you’ll exit the park through the Namutoni Gate, which is conveniently located near your next accommodation, the beautiful Onguma Bush Camp.

The brick-red sandstone plateau is crowned with lush vegetation and supports a wide diversity of flora and fauna. This national park lends itself for some nice hikes. Not yet seen enough animals? Go on a game drive and look for buffalos or the white rhino.
