Tour program

Day 1

Cape Town to Cederberg Area

Our adventure tour begins in cosmopolitan Cape Town with a tour of the Cape Flats, one of Cape Towns intriguing townships. Well visit some of the local people and community projects in the area. From here we head north through South Africas Western Cape and through the fruit growing regions of Citrusdal. Our campsite is located near the Olifants River overlooking the stunning Cederberg Mountains. After setting up camp, there is an option to sample some of the local wines of the region, properly meet the rest of the group and to enjoy our first night under the African sky.

Day 2

Cederberg to the Gariep Orange River, Namibia

Continuing north, the landscape gradually turns drier and rockier as we head towards the border and cross to Namibia. We set up camp tonight on the Gariep Orange River, which has a stunning backdrop to take in. There is the option of a hike to the lookout above the campsite, or a swim in the Gariep Orange River before sunset. The night sky above camp shows a wide expanse of stars on clear Richtersveld nights.

Day 3

Gariep Orange River to Fish River Canyon

This morning we have the opportunity to partake in an optional canoe safari on the river or simply relax on the waters edge. Next, we arrive as a group at the majestic Fish River Canyon in the mid afternoon. Its the perfect time for a great photographic opportunity or a chance to find a quiet spot and marvel at the sheer beauty of the setting.

Day 4

Fish River Canyon to Sesriem Area

After a night near the canyon, our Acacia vehicle continues north to the Sesriem Area, the gateway to the Namib Naukluft National Park. The park contains the worlds oldest desert and highest sand dunes. Here we set up camp for the evening under the starry Namibian sky.

Day 5

Namib Naukluft National Park to Solitaire Area

This morning we enter the National Park to trek to the top of famous Dune 45. After a well deserved breakfast, we continue deeper into the park and nature walk to Dead Vlei. Departing from the dunes, we stop off at the smaller Sesriem Canyon before making our way to our desert camp for the night a - short distance from Solitaire, Namibias smallest town.

Day 6

Sossus On Foot camp, Khomas region to Swakopmund

Leaving our camp, we head to the Atlantic coast where we will spend the next two nights. Crossing over the Tropic of Capricorn, we stop for a photo opportunity before arriving in Swakopmund. This coastal town makes for a refreshing change with cooler weather from the Atlantic sea air, a taste of civilisation and a swathe of exciting things to do and places to explore.

Day 7

Swakopmund

Today is a free day to enjoy all that this quaint seaside town has to offer. For the daring there are desert based adventure activities such as quad biking, sand boarding, skydiving weather permitting and more. For those not seeking adventure, simply relax or enjoy what the town has to offer shopping, restaurants, museums, aquarium, art galleries or else simply walk along the promenade admiring the ocean, the quaint German-style architecture and indulge in the towns caf culture.

Day 8

Swakopmund to Spitzkoppe

Leaving the coast we turn inland to the beautiful Damaraland region and explore Spitzkoppe where we admire ancient bushman paintings still visible on peculiar rock formations. Take your time to explore the area and its delightful calmness. Keep an eye on the ever changing colour of the rock, especially during sunrise and sunset, when they acquire intense red hues. The Spitzkoppe Rest camp is located at the base of the mountain and is owned and maintained by the local community. All proceeds from our visit go directly to this community.

Day 9

Spitzkoppe to Etosha National Park

From Spitzkoppe we turn north again - making our way to Etosha National Park. We spend two nights here, usually making camp near a floodlit waterhole. Upon entering the park we enjoy a short afternoon game drive as we head to the campsite.

Day 10

Etosha National Park

Today, we enjoy a full day game driving in this magnificent animal kingdom - taking in Etosha National Parks main characteristic - the central salt pan - which can apparently be seen from space! After a full day game driving we turn to camp and enjoy our last evening around the floodlit water holes, observing natural animal behaviour at its best.

Day 11

Etosha National Park to Windhoek

Our journey heads south where we arrive in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. It is located in a basin between the Khomas Highland, Auas and Eros Mountains. Take the opportunity to enjoy a night out at one of the local restaurants.

Day 12

Windhoek to Omaheke Region, Namibia

Leaving Windhoek, we travel west into the Kalahari region to our camp just before the border of Botswana. After settling in, we meet the San/Bushman and enjoy a guided bush walk with them. This cultural experience provides insight into this ancient cultures nomadic way of life.

Day 13

Omaheke Region, Namibia to Maun, Botswana

Leaving Namibia behind we make our way to Maun - the gateway to the Okavango Delta. From here we prepare for our excursion into the Delta the next day. If time permits, we have the opportunity to take an optional scenic flight over the Okavango Delta, either this afternoon, or on day 15 when we return from our Delta excursion.

Day 14

Maun to the Okavango Delta

Leaving the campsite in Maun, we begin our excursion into the Okavango Delta on an open 4x4 vehicle to the mokoro station. Here we will be introduced to the local Tswana Polers who will be guiding us on this expedition. We travel by mokoro dugout canoe to our tented camp from where we can explore the area on a walking safari. We enjoy the afternoon wilderness experience and then delight in listening to the sounds of the African night - a truly unforgettable experience!

Day 15

Okavango Delta to Maun

This morning we take an easy paced mokoro ride out of the Okavango Delta back to the polers station from where we will drive back to Maun, our overnight stop. We aim to get back to camp around lunch time to allow for the opportunity to enjoy an optional scenic flight over this spectacular UNESCO world heritage site. Alternatively the afternoon can be spent at leisure at the camps pool.

Day 16

Maun to Nata

Today, we make our way towards Nata, travelling through a wide open wildlife corridor between the Nxai and the Makgadikgadi Pans. Along the way we stop to see one of Africas most iconic tree-types - the Baobab, also locally known as upside down trees - and arrive at the Elephant Sands Lodge during the late afternoon. The camp has no fences so all wildlife can roam freely from one waterhole to another and we can expect to see a variety of antelope and other wildlife during our stay.

Day 17

Nata to Kasane

We make our way to the northern corner of Botswana to Kasane, the gateway to Chobe National Park. By size, it is the third largest park in the country and is the most diverse home to elephant, lion, buffalo, hippo, and abundant birdlife, including the famous African fish eagle. We take a Fish Eagle cruise on the Chobe River - a great opportunity to see hippo and perhaps elephant or buffalo coming to the river to bathe and drink.

Day 18

Kasane to Livingstone

This morning we head out to explore the Chobe National Park on an open vehicle game drive. Moving on from Kasane, we take a ferry across the confluence of the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers into Zambia. We visit the Victoria Falls, one of the largest waterfalls on earth and try to take in the immensity of one of natures Wonders of the World. We set up camp at the Waterfront campsite on the banks of the Zambezi, just a few kilometres from the Victoria Falls and the small town of Livingstone.

Day 19

Livingstone

Our adventure tour ends after breakfast, however we highly recommend staying a few more days in the area in order to explore the Victoria Falls area to the full.
