DAMARALAND - This is an arid, mountainous wilderness of rugged beauty, with spectacular gorges and rock formations. The plants of Damaraland have evolved to survive in an almost waterless environment.
After breakfast we depart via the Skeleton Coast National Park and head inland to the Twyfelfontein area. Here we visit the Burnt Mountain and the Organ Pipes, a series of angular columns of dolerite exposed in a dry riverbed. The area around Twyfelfontein has a superb collection of more than 2400 rock engravings some of which we also view.

Day 7: Epupa Falls - Camp |
|
| |
After breakfast, we pack up camp and continue north via Opuwo to Epupa Falls on the edge of the Kunene River deep in K aokoland.
Kaokoveld
Located in the far north-west, Kaokoland is one of the particularly untouched regions in Namibia. The almost inaccessible area south of the Kunene River is the home of the Himba ethnic group, who have kept their ethnic individuality and culture in the secluded Kaokoland. Travelling through this region is only possible under the leadership of an experienced guide. Tracks are hardly signposted, corrugated and extremely stony or sandy.
Our campsite is close to the Falls, on the banks of the Kunene River with views of Angola. (B,L,D)
|
| |
|
|
| |
Day 8: Epupa Falls - Camp |
|
| |
We spend the morning on a guided tour of the Falls and pay a visit to a Himba Village.
On our travels through the Kaokoveld we will have the time to meet the Famous Himba people and the Herero. The Himba like the Masai of East Africa are probably the most striking looking people in Africa. Especially in the remote areas we are visiting, the Himba women are still dressed in their traditional dress.
The rest of the day is for relaxing and exploring. We once again overnight at Epupa. (B,L,D)

Day 10: Etosha - Camp |
|
| |
At Outjo we will make a stop in order to stock up on food supplies and drinks before entering Etosha National Park.
ETOSHA NATIONAL PARK - This is one of the major sanctuaries for wildlife in Africa. The heart of the park is the Etosha pan, meaning "place of dry water," an extensive, flat depression of about 5000 square kilometres. This great, white expanse is a place of shimmering mirages; seeing large herds of game n this setting is a uniquely African experience.
Our first camp in the Park is Okaukuejo, well known for its floodlit waterhole. (B,L,D)

|
| |
Day 12: Rundu - Camp |
|
| |
We leave Etosha today and travel to Rundu via Grootfontein. Tonight we will sleep on the banks of the Okavango River.
Close to Grootfontein is the 60 tonne Hoba meteorite, the largest of its kind in the world and unique due to its cuboid shape. (B,L,D)
|
| |
|
|

Day 13: Caprivi - Camp |
|

In stark contrast to most of Namibia, the Caprivi Strip is a mosaic of woodlands, riverine forests and swamps. Our destination today is our campsite close to the Mudumu National Park. (B,L,D) |
| |
|
|
| |
Day 14: Victoria Falls - Lodge |
|
| |
After an early morning game drive, we leave the Caprivi and cross the border into Botswana, and via the Chobe National Park and Kasane travel to the Kazangula Border where we enter Zimbabwe.
Our lodge for the next 2 nights is in the town of Victoria Falls. (B,L,D)
