Tour itinerary: The Northern Skies Tour

Day 1: Swakopmund, Namibia

You will be met in Swakopmund in the afternoon at the Villa Wiese. That evening is spent at a local restaurant and exploring the town.

Day 2: Swakopmund, Namibia

We have the opportunity to explore this quaint German town by day and night. There are a number of activities to enjoy here; sand boarding, quad biking, skydiving and even fishing. You may even dare to brave the Atlantic sea.

Day 3: Cape Cross Seal Colony and Brandberg, Namibia

We follow the barren Namibian Coast on our way out of Swakopmund to visit Africa’s largest seal colony after lunch. Leaving the cold Atlantic coastline behind we head inland across the desert planes for Brandberg, the highest mountain in Namibia.

Day 4: Twyfelfontein, Petrified Forest and the Himba Village, Namibia

An early morning start takes us from Brandberg to our first stops at Twyfelfontein and Petrified Forest. Our final destination for the day will be Kamanjab. Depending on the time of arrival we go and explore a traditional Himba Village that afternoon or the next morning. This will be a journey of culture exchange and learning and understanding of our last traditional tribe in Namibia, the Ova-Himba.

Day 5: Kamanjab to Etosha National Park, Namibia

After our cultural experience in Kamanjab, we head to the land of the big five - Etosha National Park Lunch is eaten close to the small German town of Outjo where we relax and have the opportunity to visit an Internet cafe. Our final destination for the day is Etosha. As the sunsets and late into the night the group has the opportunity to watch animals drink at floodlit waterholes.

Day 6-7: Etosha National Park, Namibia

We fill the next 2 days with game drives, including evening game viewing at floodlit waterholes. In the mornings we have the opportunity to take game drive at sunrise. At all three camps, Namutoni, Okaukuejo and Halali you can take a swim in the swimming pool or as the sunsets and late into the night the group can watch animals drink at the floodlit waterhole.

Day 8 & 9: Etosha to Kavango River, Namibia

Leaving Etosha we head to Rundu and onto N’Kwazi River Camp, which is on the banks of the Kavango River over looking Angola. A sunset cruise, horse riding, traditional dancing in the evening as well as visiting a local village are optional or you can just put your feet up and relax on the banks of the river as the sunsets.

Day 10 & 11: Kavango River to Okavango Delta, Botswana

We leave Namibia for Etsha, on the western border of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. The next day is spent exploring the network of water pathways through thick vegetation in mokoros (traditional dugout canoes). The Delta is a well-preserved gem of Africa with a vast oasis of crystal clear lakelets, lagoons and palm-fringed islands. On our last evening in the Delta we feast with a braai (barbeque).

Day 12: Eastern Caprivi, Namibia

Leaving Botswana, we drive up the Western border of the Okavango Delta before crossing over into Namibia and driving through the Caprivi to our camp on the banks of the Kwando River. In the afternoon you will go on a game drive in the famous Mudumo National Park. In contrast to the rest of Namibia, the area is lush with riverine forest, marshes, dense savannah and mopane woodland.
