Afterward, you will drive to your accommodation where you can freshen up and rest. In the afternoon you will be picked up by your guide from Bwana Tucke-Tucke for an interesting Windhoek city tour, during which you will get to know historical buildings and the township of Katutura.
In the evening you can go out for a relaxing dinner. We can recommend Joe’s Beerhouse, Cape Town Fish Market, or The Stellenbosch.
Situated in Central Namibia, the cosmopolitan city of Windhoek serves as the capital of the country. It is home to an international airport and a plethora of restaurants, shops, entertainment venues, and accommodation options.
The city is clean, safe and well-organized, with a colonial legacy that is reflected in its many German eateries and shops, and the widespread use of the German language. Windhoek has an interesting mix of historical architecture and modern buildings, many of which are worth a look at, including the Alte Feste an old fort, the 1896 Christuskirche Christ Church, and the more contemporary Supreme Court.
Situated in the Eros Hills, it enjoys proximity to Restaurants, a Shopping Centre, and the City, while retaining the quiet of a country estate. The spotless rooms are spacious and include every possible comfort for your personal freedom and relaxation.
All rooms have en-suite facilities with a cozy and comfortable atmosphere, making your stay the most enjoyable.
The heart of Sonneneck is the area around the sparkling swimming pool, surrounded by large, shady trees and a lush garden, where you can absorb the warmth of the Namibian sun.
Whether you are visiting our capital for business or pleasure, Haus Sonneneck is the perfect stop-over prior to your excursion into our beautiful country.
Bed and Breakfast
After breakfast, you can buy some supplies at the supermarket. Heading north you take the B1 to Okahandja. Continue on the B2 via Karibib and Usakos.
In Usakos look out for the signboards to Ameib Lodge. In the afternoon you have enough time to explore the famous Bull’s Party and Elephant’s Head. Giant boulders scattered on vast granite fields bathed in the soft afternoon light provide beautiful photographic motives.
Experienced climbers might want to consider a climbing trail up the Elephant’s head with some beautiful rock paintings at the beginning of the trail and spectacular views at the end.
Conveniently located only a few hour’s drive from Namibia’s capital city of Windhoek, the Erongo Mountain Range stretches across the plains between the towns of Omaruru and Karibib and is home to a remarkably rich natural heritage.
This expanse of rugged wilderness serves as one of Namibia’s most popular tourist drawcards, attracting visitors with its spectacularly scenic landscapes, magnificent caves and rock painting sites, and its impressive array of wildlife species. These include, among others: rhino, elephant, cheetah, leopard, giraffe, wildebeest, impala, blesbok, waterbuck, kudu, warthog, mountain zebra, oryx, eland, springbok, and over 200 species of bird. Visitors can look forward to enjoying a variety of adventurous activities such as hiking, rock climbing, game drives, horse riding safaris, and mountain biking.
Located at the foot of the majestic Erongo Mountains, Ameib Guesthouse offers comfortable accommodation in a beautiful natural setting and near attractions such as Phillip’s Cave, Bull’s Party, and Elephant’s Head.
The property’s spacious bungalows include en-suite bathrooms and barbeque facilities. The on-site restaurant serves delicious dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Additional amenities include a bar
Bed and Breakfast
After a hearty breakfast, you can drive to the marked parking for the cave and take a 40-minute hike through magnificent scenery. Alternatively, you start directly from the campsite/guesthouse, which will take you about 20 minutes one way.
Look out for endemic bird species like the Hartlaub Francolin and White-tailed Shrike. Philip’s cave is well known for its abundance of ancient rock paintings by the San (Bushmen), the most famous one being the ‘White Elephant’.
There are a few shorter trails around the guesthouse that can be done in the afternoon. Alternatively, you can go on a scenic sunset drive and enjoy the landscape from the back of an old Unimog or Land Rover (optional).
Bed and Breakfast
The journey continues after breakfast. You drive through the dry and dusty landscape of Damaraland. After around two hours you will reach the little village of Uis where you can have lunch in one of the restaurants or rest camps in town.
After lunch, you pass through Uis and turn right onto the C35. Follow this road for 13 km before turning left onto the little gravel road towards the majestic Brandberg. Follow the signs to the Brandberg White Lady Lodge. The Brandberg Massif not only holds the highest mountain in Namibia (Königsstein 2573m) but is also home to about 50.000 rock paintings.
We highly recommend a visit to the famous “White Lady” rock painting. A 40-minute walk with a local guide through the Tsisab Gorge will take you to this beautiful painting. Depending on the weather conditions you can visit the Mountain either in the afternoon or in the cooler hours of the next morning.
Situated in northwestern Namibia, the Brandberg, meaning ‘Fire Mountain’, Massif is Namibia’s highest peak, at its zenith, the Königstein (King’s Stone), standing at a whopping 2573 meters above sea level. Named for the vivid shade of orange it sometimes turns at sunset, this is undoubtedly the main highlight of the region.
The Brandberg has been sacred to the San people for centuries. The Tsisab Ravine at its base is permeated with over 45,000 ancient San rock paintings, including the famous ‘White Lady’.
Visitors flock here to view this unique bushman painting, said to be over 2000 years old. Other popular drawcards include its untouched natural beauty and its free-roaming wildlife such as mountain zebra, kudu, springbok, and desert elephant.
Brandberg White Lady Lodge is named after the San paintings for which Brandberg became famous. It is a place where you will feel at home and enjoy true warm-hearted hospitality, “tranquility” is the name of the game.
At the Lodge, you find a fully licensed restaurant, a well-stocked bar, a comfortable lounge, and a large pool area. And if you are lucky you might bump into a dessert-adapted elephant.
Bed and Breakfast
As you continue deeper into the Damaraland, the landscape becomes increasingly dramatic. You should reach your accommodation around lunchtime.
In the afternoon you will visit the Twyfelfontein rock engravings, the Burnt Mountain and Organ Pipes, geological rock formations bearing witness to a time long gone. Enjoy another breathtaking sunset with a refreshing drink.
Set in the Kunene Region of northwestern Namibia, Twyfelfontein is a spectacularly scenic area, featuring one of the largest and most important concentrations of rock art in Africa.
The name ‘Twyfelfontein’ translates to ‘Fountain of Doubt’, which refers to the perennial spring situated in the impressive Huab Valley flanked by the slopes of a sandstone table mountain.
It was this spring that attracted Stone Age hunters over six thousand years ago, and it was during this time that the extensive group of rock engravings and paintings were produced.
Visitors can look forward to basing themselves at some wonderfully shady campsites along the Aba-Huab riverbed while exploring over thirty different sacred ritual sites of the traditional hunter-gatherer communities.
Mowani Mountain Camp offers luxury tented accommodation with magnificent desert views. Open-air en-suite bathrooms and private decks give you great views of Damaraland and the reliability of nearby Twyfelfontein with its San engravings and paintings is contrasted by the elusive desert-adapted elephants.
The Twyfelfontein Conservancy has been protecting the southernmost roaming ground of the black rhino and elusive desert elephant.
Sustainable eco-tourism and community upliftment are of the utmost importance at Mowani. Guides from the local tribes complement daytime game drives to track mountain zebra, kudu, springbok, klipspringer, and if you are fortunate enough… the leopard! The adventurer in me took over at Mowani.
Days were filled with game drives, hot air balloon trips over the Aba-Huab Valley, champagne breakfasts, and al fresco meals amidst the dusky landscape beneath Mopani trees.
Bed and Breakfast
Today you have an early start into the day as you will spend the larger part of the morning in search of the elusive desert-adapted elephants.
The hot part of the day is spent at the lodge or campsite. We recommend a visit to the Damara Living Museum in the afternoon where you will have a unique experience of historic Damara culture.
Bed and Breakfast
After yesterday’s early start you can have a late sleep today and a very relaxed breakfast – after all, you are on holiday! Today’s destination is Palmwag Lodge, which is only about two hours drive from Mowani.
You travel along the D2612 until you get to the T-junction C39. Here you turn left and continue through the beautiful Damaraland landscapes for about 60km before turning onto the C 43 to Palmwag Lodge. Here a driver collects your luggage, and takes everything to the River Camp of the Etendeka Walking Trail while you meet your guide for the next three days.
The first leg of the trail takes about 2-3 hours and takes you through impressive areas from the Palmwag into the Etendeka Concession. Your knowledgeable and experienced guide will introduce you to the flora and fauna of this arid Eden.
You’ll arrive at the River Camp in the afternoon. Dinner at River Camp is prepared over an open fire and enjoyed together. Sitting around the campfire, listening to stories told by the guide, another adventurous day comes to an end.
Palmwag is a nature reserve idyllically located along a palm-lined tributary of the Uniab River, halfway between Swakopmund and Etosha, providing an ideal base from which to see the sights of the Kunene region or embark on one of the many local hiking trails. Water is scarce in this area, so the river’s presence often lures elephants closer to the camps.
The reserve is notable for its unusual species of palm tree, the hyphaene petersiana, and for being home to the largest population of southwestern black rhinos in Africa. Animal lovers can also get a peek at leopard, lion, cheetah, mountain zebra, Angolan giraffe, springbok, kudu, and African bush elephant.
In the foothills of the Grootberg massif, set amidst magnificent scenery and the ancient Etendeka lavas of northern Damaraland, the ten en-suite Meru tents have been refitted with luxury mattresses and 100% cotton linen.
Necessary comforts have not been overlooked with the bathrooms also benefiting from a makeover, while the traditional, open-air bucket shower still holds pride of place.
Simple, fresh, wholesome meals are prepared, either in solar ovens or on open fires, and enjoyed under African skies. Extensive use is made of solar power throughout the camp. Etendeka is one of only two establishments that have been awarded the highest rank in the Namibian Eco-awards.
At Etendeka, wildlife has acclimatized to a precarious existence amongst the towering basalt mountains and dry mopane-shaded river courses of the Kunene Region. A strong focus is on walking activities.
“The feel at Etendeka is rustic; we wanted to bring back that rugged element of the traditional tented camp that most have unfortunately lost.”
Manager and co-owner of Etendeka Mountain Camp, Dennis Liebenberg has been running the property for the past 20 years and knows the area like the back of his hand. He loves to share his knowledge with guests.
Bed and Breakfast
Early wake up from your first night under a starry sky filled with sounds and smells of the Namibian wilderness. Enjoy a tasty breakfast and pack your days provisions into the backpacks provided. Embark on the hike to Mountain Camp taking you through pristine landscapes around the Grootberg Mountain.
Walking distance today is between 15 and 20 kilometers. Depending on the fitness level of the group this takes about 6-7 hours.
The rocky plain offers a wonderful view onto the ancient Etendeka-Basalt formations and the flat mountains are home to many desert-adapted animals and plants. Giraffes, mountain zebras, oryx and steenbock are some of the mammals found here.
With some luck you can even get to see the famous desert-adapted elephants and endangered black rhino. Your guide can show you countless animal tracks and has detailed knowledge about the history of the region.
The Mountain Camp is reached in the early afternoon in time for a light lunch. During the hottest time of the day it is time for a siesta. Also a time to reminisce about the impressions of the last few days.
The Mountain Camp is situated on top of the Crystal Mountain offering spectacular vistas, exquisite crystals and beautiful rock formations. You will again spend the night on platforms very similar to the ones at River Camp.
In the late afternoon you go on a short sundowner walk around the plateau. Afterwards a simple but delicious, wholesome meal is enjoyed around the camp fire.
Bed and Breakfast
Enjoy a short morning walk to Etendeka Mountain Camp after breakfast. Drive through picturesque landscapes in an open vehicle back to Palmwag Lodge where you pick up your vehicle and continue towards another highlight of your journey – the Etosha National Park.
From Palmwag Lodge you take the C40, which will take you along the breath-taking Grootberg Pass to the small village of Kamanjab. Continue towards Outjo and then northwards towards the wonderful Etosha National Park and your accommodation, the very pleasant Etosha Safari Camp.
Relax at the refreshing swimming pool after a long day of driving and start looking forward to tomorrows excursion into the famous Etosha National Park.
Located just south of the boundary of Etosha National Park in northwestern Namibia, Etosha South makes up the southern region of this wild paradise. The area is comprised of a collection of world class private game reserves. The national park can be accessed via the southern entrance at Andersson’s Gate. Visitors can catch a glimpse of a variety of wildlife including: lion, giraffe, elephant, white and black rhino, and a multitude of plains game. Popular activities include: enjoying an open 4×4 safari with an expert guide, half day or full day drives with the option of a picnic lunch with wine on the full day game drive.
Tap toes to an African beat in the novel Oshebeena Bar and relax at this friendly Camp, 10 kilometres from Etosha National Park. 50 chalets, shaded by mopane trees, and a grassy campsite provide a comfortable home from which to explore the abundant animal kingdom. Legendary.
Location: 10 km south of Andersson Gate on the C 38 (Etosha National Park).
Bed and Breakfast
The mornings and afternoons you will spend exploring the park always on the lookout for the wild animals of Namibia. The Etosha National Park hosts more than 110 mammals, some of which are elephants, white and black rhinos, lions, leopards, hyenas, several smaller predators, giraffes, zebra, and uncountable antelopes.
Furthermore, more than 340 different bird species are found here. During the hot midday, you can relax in the rest camp or return to your accommodation. A stop at the Pan’s edge is as recommendable as exploring the different waterholes in the area.
Especially during the dry season, which is from Mai to November/December, large herds of game gather at the waterholes to quench their thirst. In the visitor’s books at the restcamp receptions one can sometimes find hints about interesting sightings of rather rare species like leopards and predator kills.
Depending on the season one should focus on the central parts of the Etosha National Park around Okaukuejo or the eastern area around Namutoni, as the larger herds and with them the predators move between the areas during the course of the year.
We will of course take this into consideration, depending during which season you book your safari and will advise accordingly.
Bed and Breakfast
Another whole day for exiting game viewing. You cross the park from the central area to the east. Experience new impressions on the way like a drive around the beautiful Fisher’s Pan.
Enjoy your last day in the Etosha National Park!
Bed and Breakfast
After one last early game drive you exit the Etosha National Park. Hint: Before leaving, make a turn at Chudop and Klein Namutoni waterholes.
This is often well worth it. On the way to Roy’s Camp via Tsumeb and Otavi the Otjikoto Lake can be visited, a collapsed karst cave, into which the German troops dumped a large amount of weapons and ammunition from the First World War.
After the visit you drive on towards Grootfontein and from there on the B8 towards Rundu. After 51 km from Grootfontein, you’ll find Roy’s Restcamp on your left.
Situated 450 kilometers from Namibia’s capital, Windhoek, within the Otjozondjupa Province of Namibia, Grootfontein (meaning ‘Big Fountain’) is famous for being home to the largest meteorite ever discovered on earth (located roughly 25 kilometers from the town center). Hoba is believed to have occurred around 80,000 years ago, and its enormity is a true sight to behold.
The town is also unique in that it is extremely lush and fertile during the summer months. Purple Jacaranda trees create a riot of color around the town. Other must-see attractions include the fascinating Grootfontein Museum, and the Abenab and Berg Aukas Mines. From here, a fantastic network of hiking and biking trails leads into the wild.
Roy’s Rest Camp is a small part of the farm Elandslaagte. The camp was started in 1995 and was built for cattle farming and tourism as the main industries.
Elandslaagte is one of the older farms in the district of Grootfontein and has been in operation since 1930. Roy’s Camp is situated on the main road from Grootfontein to Rundu, 55 km north of Grootfontein. It is an ideal stopover from northern Namibia to Caprivi and bushman land.
There are 5 standard rooms and 2 family rooms all with en suite facilities and private braai areas. The camp bungalows are of a unique rustic design. All rooms have air conditioning and mosquito nets. There are also 16 campsites with braai facilities and hot water.
Bed and Breakfast
Today your journey takes you to Grashoek into the Kalahari basin and one of the last resorts for the ancient inhabitants of southern Africa, the San (Bushmen).
There is hardly a more fascinating culture and for one day you will have the opportunity to get a glimpse of it.
The Ju/’Hoansi Living Museums offers different programs for visitors. We recommend the ‘Action Day’ which takes about 4 hours and includes demonstrations on making fire, jewelry and weapons. It also includes a bush walk where you get to know some of the most important plants of the San culture as well as singing and traditional dancing. A day not to be forgotten soon!
Bed and Breakfast
Enjoy a scrumptious, late breakfast before driving back to Grootfontein. Continue to Otavi through the beautiful Otavi Mountains with lush vegetation, a rather unusual sight in our dry country. You have the chance to visit the Hoba meteorite, the largest meteorite ever found until today.
When entering Otavi continue straight on the C39 until your reach the D3031, which you follow all the way to Gabus Game Ranch.
Gabus offers numerous activities, like guided and unguided hikes, game drives, horse riding and bird watching. We recommend a visit to the nearby waterhole to enjoy your sundowner drink, whilst watching a variety of game coming to quench their thirst.
A hidden gem found in Namibia’s Otjozondjupa region, Otavi is a small farming town and peaceful gateway to the beautiful Otavi Mountainlands.
As it offers a selection of cosy accommodation options, including bed and breakfasts, self-catering units, hotels, guest houses and camping facilities, the town serves as a convenient stopping point to nearby tourist attractions.
Approximately 35 kilometres east of Otavi is the Ghaub Cave, a fascinating underground network of rock formations, calcified waterfalls, crystal clusters and 2.5 kilometres of channels, passageways, rocky halls and a glittering underground lake.
Several kilometres past the cave is the famous Hoba Meteorite – the world’s largest known meteorite found to date. For further exploration, Otavi’s strategic position along the three-way intersection of the B1, B8 and the C39 ensures seamless access to the Etosha National Park, the Caprivi Strip, and the “Bushmenland”.
Enjoy the oasis that the lodge is offering. Spacious air-conditioned rooms overlooking the waterhole, delicious venison and fresh vegies served, game viewing from all public areas. This is the ultimate accommodation, whether route to Etosha or the Caprivi or just to relax during a long trip through the country.
Accommodation consists of a variety of different air-conditioned, suite rooms. All the rooms look out onto the water hole which is frequented all day long by the game found in the region.
Enjoy African Wildlife close to the lodge, or go on a game drive and watch Giraffe, Wildebeest, Kudu, Impala, Eland, Waterbuck, or the tiny Damara Dik-Dik on the 6000 ha farmland.
We offer sunset/ sunrise game drives, horse safari, and hiking trails.
One of only 4 Wine Estates in Namibia is situated nearby and may be visited for a wine tasting with snacks.
One night never seems enough for this unique experience of all the best ingredients for an adventurous African holiday.

Again, only a short drive awaits you, hence you have enough time to part-take in activities at Gabus you missed during the last two days.
A short drive takes you back to Otavi and from here you take the B1 south to Otjiwarongo, one of the larger towns in this sparsely populated country.
Continue south on the B1 until you reach the turn off C22 to Waterberg on your left. Follow this road for about 35 km to reach Waterberg guest Farm – the ideal place to enjoy the last two days of your holidays.
Feel free to take one of the many guided or unguided hiking trails to explore the beautiful landscape of the Waterberg Plateau area. Trails vary in length so you are able to chose the one that suits you best.
Situated in north central Namibia and named for the springs that emanate from its foothills, the Waterberg Plateau National Park is a fascinating geological site featuring compressed sandstone crags, 200 million-year-old dinosaur footprints, and petrified sand dunes.
The area’s natural water sources make it far more fertile than its environs, and the park is blessed with a plethora of plant and animal species, including leopards, rhinoceros, vultures, cheetahs, bush babies, ferns and fig trees.
Visitors can enjoy a wide selection of activities including: learning about the local Herero culture on an informative village tour, tracking rhino on a guided safari, exploring the Waterberg’s 50-kilometre-long and 16-kilometre-wide sandstone plateau, dubbed ‘table mountain’, and catching a glimpse of the rare and endangered sable and roan antelope.
Our guests are pampered in a style befitting the spectacular surroundings.
The original 1930s manager’s house was converted into a guesthouse with 4 double and twin rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms.
The spacious dining room is also located in the guesthouse, along with the comfortable lounge – the perfect spot to relax after a long day outdoors.
Guests can also soak up the atmosphere of the unspoilt African bush in our two secluded, luxury ‘bush bungalows’ situated 160 metres from the main guesthouse. The truly unique bungalows are built according to the traditional Herero method using natural materials from the surrounding mountains.
While the bungalows themselves are constructed with only natural materials, the interiors are decorated in contemporary African design and offer all the modern amenities to ensure your comfort. They also offer a unique choice of showers either inside or outside, surrounded by breathtaking views!
The traditional African grass-roofed “lapa” next to the swimming pool offers al fresco dining and a fully stocked ‘honesty bar’. Here guests can sit on the wooden deck and watch the floodlit waterhole as antelope, warthog, and the occasional leopard come to drink, and in turn, be watched by our resident family of baboons.
Our concept is simple – a small luxury guest house, accommodating a limited number of guests, set in the midst of a wildlife haven with personal attention, spectacular surroundings, and exceptional cuisine.
Over dinner, your hosts can share their broad knowledge on numerous and diverse subjects ranging from the local history and culture, wildlife and nature, conservation efforts, and predator management through to the realities of day-to-day life on an operational Namibian ranch.
Animals can be viewed on guided game drives through the rugged surrounding terrain in four-wheel drive vehicles, or just by sitting on the viewing deck at our floodlit waterhole.
And after a long day in the bush, there’s nothing quite like relaxing with an ice-cold sundowner around the pool, watching as the setting sun illuminates the blood-red Waterberg Plateau.
Catering for only a limited number of guests also enables us to personalize your visit to suit the specific wishes of your group. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or any other special occasion, we can customize your stay to ensure a truly memorable occasion.
Bed and Breakfast
One of the specialities of Waterberg Guest Farm is a guided excursion to the Cheetah Conservation Fund.
The drive takes you through the grounds of the farm where you are introduced to cattle farming in Namibia as well as the challenges life-stock farmers face when it comes to predators, before reaching the Cheetah Conservation Fund.
This visit will closely introduce you to these majestic predators, with the opportunity to take amazing pictures. On your return drive you will cross the “Little Serengeti” and enjoy your last magnificent African sunset of this journey.
Bed and Breakfast
Today is the last day of your journey. Depending on your flight schedule you might have time to enjoy a relaxing massage offered by the lodge before saying farewell to the Waterberg and Namibia.
The drive back to the capital takes about 2.5 hours. You drop off your vehicle at the car rental and they will take you to the airport, as arranged at the beginning of your tour
