Travel story
Following the tracks, a spread of red and gold gradients
Dunes floating like a mirage and the shadows of trees
The final flash of the sun sinking into the sand
—
A 7-day journey starting from Windhoek, visiting Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, and Etosha National Park.
Traveling from the interior to the coast and then to safari areas, you will experience Namibia’s diverse nature and landscapes.
Accompanied by a private guide, you can enjoy encounters with history, culture, and wildlife at a relaxed pace.
Signature points
Time-forgetting scenery created by Sossusvlei’s dawn and dunes
Embraced by the world’s oldest Namib Desert, Sossusvlei presents a fantastical landscape of red dunes, white pans, and blackened, dead acacia trees.
Standing in Deadvlei, you feel drawn into a soundless space, encountering a silence and beauty that make you lose track of time.
The rawness of wildlife encounters in Etosha National Park
With its vast salt pans and dry savanna, Etosha draws a wide variety of animals such as elephants and lions to waterholes.
On game drives in a private vehicle, you can observe wildlife at close to natural distances, and the guide’s explanations deepen your understanding of animal behavior and the characteristics of the land.
A well-balanced route that captures the core of Namibia
This trip starts in the capital Windhoek and continues to the Namib Desert’s Sossusvlei, the coastal town of Swakopmund, and the wildlife sanctuary of Etosha National Park.
By transitioning from arid regions to the coastline and then to the savanna, the itinerary is designed so you can experience Namibia’s natural and cultural contrasts at an unhurried pace.
