Victoria Falls & Namibia Highlights

In the early afternoon (around 2 pm) your round trip from Victoria Falls to Namibia begins with getting to know the group and a short briefing. Afterwards you visit the impressive Victoria Falls together, one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. You have two days to explore the area. Many adventure activities, such as a microlight flight over the falls or white-water rafting, are offered here (all optional). You stay at Victoria Falls Waterfront Lodge.

Driving distance day 4: approx. 450 km; pure driving time approx. 6–8 hours

Today you cross the border into Namibia and reach the Zambezi Region, formerly called the Caprivi Strip. On your way west you spend two days exploring this wildlife-rich area. A boat trip on the Zambezi River and game drives in Mahango Game Reserve are on your programme. You spend one night each at Caprivi Mutoya Lodge and Ngepi Camp.

In the morning you can listen to the birdsong around the camp, then you follow the Kavango River further west. Thatched huts and small stalls selling wood carvings line the road. Your destination is a lodge on the riverbank near Rundu. Enjoy a spectacular sunset with a cool drink. You stay at Nkwazi Lodge.

Your journey continues inland through Namibia to Etosha National Park. The many waterholes within the National Park around the dry salt pan attract the local animals as if by magic. Your accommodation for the next two nights borders the park. From here you set off on game drives in both the morning and the afternoon. Your chances of encountering elephants, herds of antelope and lions are good. You stay at Tarentaal Guest Farm.

After breakfast you set off for the Brandberg. You drive through beautiful, wide-open landscapes. Today's accommodation lies on the dry Ugab River, habitat of the rare desert elephants. Accompanied by a local guide, you hike to the famous rock painting "White Lady". Overnight stay at Brandberg White Lady Lodge.

You cross flat, open plains until you finally reach the Atlantic coast. At Cape Cross you visit the huge seal colony and then continue to the coastal town of Swakopmund. The rest of the day and the whole of the next day are at your leisure. Quad biking, sandboarding, scenic flights or kayaking are offered, alongside numerous other activities (all optional). On both evenings you go out together for dinner at one of Swakopmund's restaurants (at your own expense). You stay at Hotel Pension à la Mer.

The landscape in the hinterland of Swakopmund, which you pass on your way south, looks moon-like. Your destination is the Namib Desert with its great red dunes. The next day you hike with your guide into Sossusvlei and explore Sesriem Canyon. From your camp outside the National Park, marvel at fascinating sunsets over the highest dunes in the world. You stay at Desert Camp.

Windhoek is not only the largest city but also the capital of Namibia. The flair of the city is due to the friendliness of its inhabitants, the fusion of European and African cultures and the mix of old colonial architecture and modernity. You arrive late in the day and in the evening go for dinner at one of the excellent restaurants (at your own expense). You stay at Capbon Guesthouse.

Your round trip from Victoria Falls to Namibia ends in Windhoek after a shared breakfast. If you wish, we can book a transfer to Windhoek Airport for you (for an additional charge). We are also happy to advise you on an extension programme.
