Travel story
Spreading out while tracing the ruts, a gradation of red and gold
Sand dunes and clusters of trees floating like mirages
The sun sinking into the sand, its final flash
—
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
A timeless scene created by Sossusvlei's dawn and dunes
Embraced by the world's oldest Namib Desert, Sossusvlei offers a fantastical landscape woven from red dunes, white salt pans, and blackened, standing acacia remains.
Standing in Deadvlei, you are enveloped by a sensation of being drawn into a soundless space, encountering a silence and beauty that make you forget the passage of time.
The rawness of wildlife encounters in Etosha National Park
With its vast salt pan and dry savanna, Etosha draws a wide variety of animals such as elephants and lions to its waterholes.
On game drives in a dedicated vehicle, you can observe wildlife at close, natural distances, and the guide's commentary deepens your understanding of the animals' ecology and the features of the land.
A well-balanced route design that captures the heart of Namibia
This trip starts in the capital, Windhoek, and continues to Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert, the coastal town of Swakopmund, and the wildlife sanctuary of Etosha National Park.
The itinerary is designed to let you experience Namibia's natural and cultural contrasts at an unhurried pace, transitioning from arid regions to the coastline and then to the savanna.
