Galton House

Windhoek, Namibia

Day 1

Upon arrival at Hosea Kutako (Windhoek) International Airport

you will be warmly welcomed by your private guide. Kick-start

your adventure with approximately an hours’ drive to Galton

House in Windhoek. The rest of the afternoon is available for

you to relax and settle into your accommodation, with the

option to explore Windhoek’s shops and craft market if desired.

That evening, enjoy dinner with your guide as you discuss the

itinerary for your upcoming safari.

Namibia’s capital, Windhoek is a bustling metropolis that is

unexpectedly neat and orderly, though this is perhaps less

surprising when one considers it was a German territory for

many years. This is the main port of call for most tourists and

all travellers pass through the city at least once. Situated in a

pretty valley, Windhoek boasts buildings very much in the

German architectural style. The German presence can be

strongly felt in the food, restaurants – and, of course, the beer.

The Namibian beer is said to be the best in Africa and is brewed

in Windhoek.

Spend your 1 night stay at Galton House in a Luxury Room with

ensuite bathroom. Your stay includes breakfast and dinner.

Expect the extraordinary

Galton House

Windhoek, Namibia

Relaxed and welcoming, Galton House is an oasis of peace and

tranquillity in an upmarket suburb of Windhoek. Nine guest

rooms are decorated in a modern and minimalist style that is

quintessentially chic while remaining warm and welcoming.

Oversized wildlife prints decorating the walls are a tribute to

Africa’s big game.

Guests can relax in the spacious lounge or sample some of the

fine meals served either in doors or al fresco around the

sparkling swimming pool. A simple but beautiful garden area

beckons guests to while away a few hours outdoors

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT GALTON HOUSE

� Ask your hosts to tell you about Sir Francis Galton, an

English explorer who travelled widely in Namibia and

in whose honour the guesthouse is named.

� If you’re not in the mood for eating in, ask your hosts

to call you a taxi and recommend a restaurant – we

enjoy the lively atmosphere and local fare at Joe’s

Beerhouse.

� Don’t forget to try the delicious Spanish omelette

served at breakfast.

Sossusvlei Lodge

Sossusvlei, Namibia

Day 2

This morning you will leave Windhoek in your safari vehicle,

accompanied by your guide, who will drive you southwest

through the scenic Khomas Hochland highlands before you head

down the Great Escarpment into the Namib Desert below. A

picnic lunch will be served at a scenic location on route. You

will arrive at your choice of accommodation in the late

afternoon and will stay for two nights while you explore the

remarkable sights of the Namib Desert with your guide. If there

is still time today, your guide will take you to visit Sesriem

Canyon, a scenic nearby attraction, or you can choose to relax

and soak in the scenic and tranquil surroundings.

Sossusvlei, situated at the heart of the enormous Namib-

Naukluft Park, is one of the highlights of any trip to Namibia.

Easily accessible to visitors, Sossusvlei is a clay pan that is only

rarely filled by water but is nevertheless a place of awe-

inspiring beauty. Visitors to the region will be left spellbound

by the magnificent ochre-coloured sand dunes, which rise over

300m (985 feet) into the sky – among the highest sand dunes in

the world.

Delight in your 2 night stay at Sossusvlei Lodge in a Superior

Room with ensuite bathroom. Your stay includes dinner and

breakfast and activities with the Ultimate Safaris Guide.

Day 3

This morning you will rise early for a magical excursion into the

Namib Naukluft National Park with your guide, entering the

park gates at sunrise to capture the dunes while the light is soft

and shadows accentuate their towering shapes and curves. This

area boasts some of the highest free-standing sand dunes in the

world. Your guide will give you an insight into the formation of

the Namib Desert and the fascinating creatures and plants that

have adapted to survive in these harsh environs. Once you have

explored the area to your heart’s content, you can enjoy a

relaxing picnic breakfast in the shade of a camel thorn tree.

Return to your accommodation in the early afternoon, stopping

off to view Sesriem Canyon, if you haven’t already done so the

day before. The rest of the afternoon is at your leisure (from

experience, this is usually welcomed after an exhilarating

morning in the dunes).

Hot air balloon rides, helicopter flips and scenic flights over the

majestic desert landscape, as well as horse riding adventures,

are also available nearby at an additional cost.

Sossusvlei Lodge

Sossusvlei, Namibia

Situated at the entrance to the Namib-Naukluft National Park,

Sossusvlei Lodge blends into the environment as naturally as the

surrounding dunes. Sossusvlei Lodge offers a combination of

superior and standard accommodation units featuring a

spacious air-conditioned twin-bedded room, en suite bathroom

and a patio boasting panoramic views of the ridges of the

Naukluft and Tsaris Mountains and across the vast plains dotted

with camelthorn trees. An elegant Junior Suite provides a

tranquil retreat featuring a spacious bedroom, living area,

small splash pool, large bathroom and inspiring views.

Delectable meals are served in the restaurant, with its

enormous al fresco terrace overlooking a floodlit watering hole

where oryx, springbok and jackal are regularly spotted. The

Acacia Beer Garden offers refreshment beneath the shady

bough of an ancient camelthorn tree, while the selection at the

curio shop will ensure you have memorabilia to take home.

During the heat of the day guests can contemplate the pristine

wilderness from the cool waters of the pool or relax in the air-

conditioned bar-area which extends to a sun-downer deck

boasting unsurpassed views of Elim Dune. The Sossusvlei Lodge

adventure Centre provides Guided Excursions, Sun-downer

Drive, Quad Buggy Nature Drives and a variety of other

adventures explore the magnificent surroundings.

– simply heavenly.

Cornerstone Guesthouse

Swakopmund, Namibia

Day 4

Today’s fascinating drive takes you northwest through the awe-

inspiring and ever-changing landscapes of the Namib Naukluft

National Park, including the impressive Gaub and Kuiseb

canyons. You will reach the coast at the port town of Walvis

Bay, visiting the lagoon to see the interesting mix of pelicans,

flamingos and other sea-birds before continuing north to

Swakopmund, where you can enjoy the pleasant seaside

location and cooler coastal air for the next two nights. In the

afternoon there will be time to wander around town and along

the waterfront on foot if you wish before heading off to dinner

at the popular Tug Restaurant by the jetty, which specialises in

fresh seafood.

NOTE: As an alternative to the drive from Sossusvlei to

Swakopmund you may like to take a scenic light aircraft flight

over Sossusvlei and along the Diamond Coast (optional extra at

additional cost). This will give you a bird’s eye view over the

dune sea, abandoned mining camps, shipwrecks, Sandwich

Harbour and salt pans before you land at Swakopmund Airport.

Your guide will drive to meet up with you in Swakopmund later

in the day.

The charming little coastal retreat of Swakopmund on

Namibia’s western coast retains a strong German flavour, from

its cobbled streets and picturesque buildings down to its typical

German restaurants and pubs. This town is traditionally a

holiday spot for locals and foreigners alike, with many

opportunities for adventure sports and some good old-fashioned

fun. Swakopmund is an ideal place to relax after a few days in

the desert. Wash off the sand and sample some of the finely-

brewed local beer and seafood, including fish, lobster and the

utterly delicious oysters.

Delight in your 2 night stay at Cornerstone Guesthouse in a

Room with ensuite bathroom. Your stay includes all meals,

some of these may be acquired outside of the hotel.

Day 5

After an early breakfast, your guide will drive you along the

scenic coastal road to Walvis Bay for a memorable seal and

dolphin cruise within the outer lagoon and harbour. This is an

ideal way of seeing Cape fur seals, dolphins, pelicans, flamingos

and a wide variety of other sea birds. If you are lucky, there is

also the chance of seeing whales, leatherback turtles and

sunfish. Snacks, including local sparkling wine and fresh

oysters, will be served during the course of the cruise. You will

return to the jetty at roughly 12h30, after which you may like

to explore Walvis Bay further before returning to Swakopmund

for an afternoon at leisure at your guesthouse or in town. You

may also like to partake in some of the many other activities

that Swakopmund has to offer, which include camel rides,

scenic flights, quad-biking in the dunes, sky diving or vibrant

township visits (at additional cost). Choose to set off on foot

to meet a local doctor and find out about the herbal medicines

used by the Nama people or visit a local kindergarten and spend

the evening enjoying the lively vibe of an informal shebeen (all

at extra cost).

Cornerstone Guesthouse

Swakopmund, Namibia

Occupying a quiet corner of Swakopmund's old town near the

marine museum and the old brewery, Cornerstone Guesthouse

combines the charm and intimacy of a family-run B&B with the

modern amenities of a luxury hotel. The seven rooms are ideal

Doro Nawas Camp

Twyfelfontein, Namibia

Day 6

After breakfast you will leave Swakopmund and head into the

Damaraland of north-western Namibia. You will head inland,

passing Namibia’s highest mountain, the Brandberg, and make

your way towards Twyfelfontein. Typified by displays of colour,

magnificent table-topped mountains, rock formations and

bizarre-looking vegetation, Damaraland offers some of the most

breath-taking scenery on your safari. The present day landscape

has been formed by the erosion of wind and water, as well as

geological forces that have formed rolling hills, dunes, gravel

plains and ancient river terraces. It is the variety and loneliness

of the area, as well as its scenic splendour, that will reward and

astound you, giving you an authentic understanding of the word

‘wilderness’.

If time allows this afternoon, your guide will take you to visit

the nearby attractions of the Twyfelfontein rock engravings

(recently declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Burnt

Mountain and the Organ Pipes. There should be the opportunity

to include this in the activities planned for tomorrow if you do

not have sufficient time today. Return to your accommodation

in time for a sunset walk in the area.

The breathtaking mountain region of Damaraland is situated on

the eastern side of the Skeleton Coast National Park and

southwest of Etosha National Park. An assortment of desert-

adapted wildlife such as elephant, rhino, zebra and lion live in

this near-barren landscape. A not-to-be-missed attraction is the

picturesque Brandberg, Namibia’s highest mountain, which is

home to thousands of ancient rock paintings, most notably The

White Lady. The rocky outcrops of Twyfelfontein feature

exceptional Bushmen engravings, which are considered to be

some of the best preserved etchings on the continent. Visitors

to Damaraland can view one of its more unusual habitats – the

Petrified Forest, which dates back millions of years and offers

a haunting landscape of gigantic fossilised trees, some up to 30

metres (100ft) in length.

Experience your 2 night stay at Doro Nawas Camp in a Tent with

ensuite bathroom. Your stay includes all meals and activities

with the Ultimate Safaris Guide.

Day 7

After an early breakfast you will be treated to an exciting 4x4

excursion along the ephemeral Aba Huab River valley to explore

this remarkable region and to search for game, including the

elusive desert adapted elephants, if they are in the area.

Damaraland is home to a variety of desert adapted wildlife and

hidden desert treasures. You will return to your camp for lunch.

In the afternoon you may visit Twyfelfontein and other nearby

enjoy some well-deserved leisure time.

Twyfelfontein, Namibia

Nestled against a small hill overlooking ancient plains, Doro

Nawas Camp boasts unspoilt, panoramic view of this diverse and

dramatic landscape, with its tabletop outcrops, small canyons,

dry riverbeds and savannas. Sixteen natural walled units

feature a design and décor unique to the surrounding scenery.

Open verandas invite guests to an evening of stargazing or even

a sleep out beneath African skies.

Decadent meals are served either indoors or al fresco, making

the most of the spectacular views. Guests can cool off in the

sparkling lodge pool or indulge in a refreshing cocktail in the

cosy bar. A small gallery exhibits a beautiful selection of

Namibian art. Activities revolve around the game found in the

riverbed and along the valleys, which fill with floodwater in the

rainy season. Guests may also visit the local rock art site at

Twyfelfontein to see San art engravings or explore the

surroundings in game drive vehicles and on foot.

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT DORO NAWAS CAMP

� Ask for your bed to be prepared on your veranda and fall asleep

beneath the dazzling grandeur of the Milky Way.

� Spend an afternoon admiring the unspoiled panoramic views of

Damaraland from the guest area, set atop a sparse rocky hill.

� For a photo opportunity with a difference, set out in search of

background of their beautifully stark environment.

Mushara Bush Camp

Etosha East, Namibia

Day 9

Today is spent game-viewing in the Etosha National Park from

your private safari vehicle. You will make your way through the

breadth of the park, entering at Andersson’s gate on the

southern boundary. You will then make your way across the

park via Okaukuejo, Halali, and Namutoni, stopping at selected

waterholes along the way to observe the game gathered there.

You will leave the park through the eastern Von Lindquist Gate

before it closes at sunset, arriving at Mushara Bush Camp in

good time to freshen up for dinner.

Etosha is one of Africa’s great wildlife parks and Namibia’s

prime wildlife conservation area. Spanning a vast 22 300 km²

(8 610 square miles), it consists mostly of grassy plains around

a huge salt pan, which becomes a beautiful lake after heavy

rains and attracts large flocks of pink candy-floss-coloured

flamingos. Etosha hosts a vast array of animals, including the

Big Five, as well as giraffes and rare and unusual species like

the black-faced impala, Hartmann’s mountain zebra and the

smallest antelope in the world, the Damara dik-dik. Large herds

of elephant can also be seen, while predators range from lion

to black-backed jackal. The wildlife in Etosha congregates

around the watering holes, making for exciting and productive

game viewing.

Apart from its wildlife, Etosha is also known for its immense salt

pans, which covers 4 731 km² (1 827 square miles) at the heart

of the park. Formed by a massive lake that gradually

evaporated, this vast stretch of shimmering salt forms a

picturesque contrast to the rich range of wildlife found in the

park.

Spend your 2 night stay at Mushara Bush Camp in a Tent with

ensuite bathroom. Your stay includes breakfast, lunch and

dinner and includes activities with the Ultimate Safaris Guide.

Day 10

Today will be a full day of exciting game viewing within the

eastern section of Etosha National Park. After discussion with

your guide, you can opt to go into the park in the morning and

the afternoon and return to your camp for lunch and an early

afternoon rest, you can choose to head back west to spend more

time in the area around Halali or you can head north past

Fischer’s Pan and up into the Andoni Plains. Either way, you will

return to the comforts of your accommodation before sunset.
