Excursion tour "Great trip to Namibia"

Kalahari – Fish River Canyon (490 km, 6.5-7 hours). Breakfast. Departure further to the south of Namibia. Visit the "giants' playground" - large boulders assembled into intricate structures, surrounded by a forest of quiver trees. Kokerboom The name comes from the Bushmen tribe - they used the branches of these desert-adapted trees to make quivers for their arrows. These trees are found throughout the southern part of Namibia, but it is here that quite a lot of them grow, forming almost a “forest in the desert”. Transfer to Fish River Canyon. Accommodation and dinner at the lodge. Accommodation: Standard: Canyon Village/Superior: Canyon lodge

Excursion to the Fish River Canyon The Fish River originates in the center of the country and flows south to the Orange River, to the border of Namibia with South Africa. Between them formed the Fish River Canyon - the largest canyon in the southern hemisphere and the second largest after the Grand Canyon. The northern part of the Fish River Canyon is similar to Martian landscapes - a huge rocky landscape breaks up into river-formed cliffs that go down half a kilometer. The dimensions of the canyon are impressive: 161 km long, up to 27 km wide and almost 550 m deep. The Fish River can usually be seen here only during the rainy season from January to April. Additionally, it is possible to order walking and hiking trips at sunrise or sunset. Accommodation: Standard: Canyon Village/Superior: Canyon lodge

Fish River Canyon – Luderitz (390 km, 5-5.5 hours). Departure to Lüderitz - a port city on the Atlantic coast, a small charming town, one of the first German settlements in South Africa. Visit to the “ghost town” of Kolmanskop Kolmanskop is a small mining town founded in the early 20th century during the “diamond rush” and later abandoned by its inhabitants. Several buildings, including the concert hall, have been restored, but many remain exactly as they were and are now slowly being swallowed up by the surrounding dunes. Arrival in Lüderitz. Here you can see Diaz Cross, the place where a Portuguese ship first moored in the 7th century. Hotel accommodation. Accommodation: Standard Nest Hotel comfort room /Superior - Nest Hotel deluxe room

Lüderitz - Namib Desert/Sossusvlei (510 km, 6.5-7 hours). Breakfast in the hotel. Departure towards the Namib-Naukluft Park, the famous Sossusvlei nature reserve - the “calling card” of Namibia. The Namib Desert is Namibia's most vibrant and important landmark. It was created by nature about a hundred million years ago, long before man appeared on Earth. The length of the Namib Desert is more than one and a half thousand kilometers along the Atlantic coast. The Namib comes close to the very shore of the Atlantic Ocean; this is probably one of the most exotic and longest wild “beaches” in the world. Much of the desert is a protected area called the Namib-Naukluft National Park. Here you can find unique black rocks, colored dunes, beautiful gray pebbles and multi-colored sands. The red, orange and golden sands of the Namib-Naukluft desert create a unique and amazing landscape, somewhat reminiscent of the Martian landscape. There are practically no settlements here, only a couple of small settlements and a few tourist hotels. Perhaps this is the only place in the world where in the desert you can see a tree that died a thousand years ago. The Namib is one of the driest deserts on our planet; plants here are forced to adapt to such a harsh climate, so in Namibia you can find trees and shrubs of the most bizarre shapes. Accommodation and dinner at the lodge. Accommodation: Standard: Namib Desert lodge/Superior: Desert Grace lodge

Excursion to the Sossusvlei dunes and Sesriem Canyon The excursion begins early in the morning, at dawn. Here you can climb the highest dunes in the world, take a walk to the “dead valley”, where you will see trees scorched by the bright African sun at the bottom of the white salt marsh. And all this is surrounded by the highest orange sand dunes under a blue sky. The majestic red dunes are up to 400 meters high. The colors of these places are simply amazing - from dark burgundy, red, orange at dawn and sunset to golden and pink shades of the sands during the day. The white salt marshes and dead trees in “Death Valley” against the backdrop of the crystal clear blue sky will remain in your memory for a lifetime. And during the rainy season, the Sossusvlei plateau becomes even more colorful, the rivers fill, and the trees turn green. A huge number of beautiful photographs and films were shot here, demonstrating the amazing beauty of the African continent. Next, visit the small but very beautiful Sesriem Canyon, located on the territory of the reserve. Accommodation: Standard: Namib Desert lodge /Superior: Desert Grace lodge

Sossusvlei – Swakopmund (350 km, 5 hours). Breakfast. Transfer to Swakopmund - a small town on the Atlantic coast and surrounded by sand dunes. This city was founded by the Germans at the end of the 19th century. Now, once you get here, it will be difficult to believe that you are in the southwest of the African continent - everything here is permeated with German architecture. Restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops, the Atlantic and the dunes - all this creates a completely fabulous atmosphere. Getting to know the city. In the second half, walks around the city, relaxation or additional excursions (dune riding, scenic flights, fishing, etc.). Accommodation: Standard: Swakopmund delight /Superior: Strand hotel

Breakfast in the hotel. Excursion on a catamaran on the Atlantic Ocean. You will meet the inhabitants of the deep sea, dolphins, fur seals, and also visit an oyster farm. At the end of the trip - lunch with champagne and oysters on board the ship. Excursion to Sandwich Bay. Sandwich Bay is part of the Namib Naukluft Nature Reserve. This is a unique place that many have heard about, but few have seen with their own eyes. Giant sand dunes extending straight into the ocean create an unforgettable, breathtaking landscape. Excursions - in English-speaking mini-groups with individual transfers. Accommodation: Standard: Swakopmund delight /Superior: Strand hotel

Swakopmund – Twyfelfontein (420 km, 5 hours). After breakfast, depart for the north-west of the country, to the Twyfelfontein/Damaraland region. On the way you will see Mount Brandberg - the highest mountain in Namibia, whose name means “flaming mountain”. Visit to the "petrified forest". To the west of Khorixas is a "forest" of petrified trees. Some of them are partially buried under the sandy ground, and some are completely visible because the sandstone surrounding them has eroded. These logs were transported to the riverbank about 260 million years ago and became stranded on the sandy bank. Over the years, sand settled around them, turning the wood cells into silica, thereby turning these trees into fossils. Accommodation and dinner at the lodge. Accommodation: Standard: Damara Mopane Lodge/Superior: Movani Mountain lodge

Twyfelfontein - Etosha Park (390 km, 5 hours). Breakfast in the hotel. Excursion to the Himba village, where you can see representatives of the Himba tribe. The ancestral lands of the inhabitants of this tribe are located far in the north of the country and are difficult to access. This Himba settlement is located within easy reach of the western gate of Etosha Park and provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the life, culture and traditions of the Himba. Next - move to the area of Etosha National Park - the largest park in Namibia. This place is home to a huge number of animals, 114 species of mammals, 340 species of birds, 50 species of snakes and many exotic plants live here. Accommodation at the lodge, dinner. Accommodation: Standard: Etosha Safari Camp/Superior: Epacha Game lodge

Full day safari in Etosha Park. Breakfast and dinner at the lodge. “Place of Mirages” or “Land of Dry Water” - this is the name of Etosha Park translated from the local dialect. And this is no coincidence - a huge salt marsh bowl of silver-white sand creates the effect of mirages under the rays of the hot African sun. The southern part of this large bowl is surrounded by watering holes of various sizes, where a large number of animals come. And then the real African bush begins with its wild flora and fauna. It is home to a large number of elephants, giraffes, various types of antelope, zebras, rhinoceroses and many predators - lions, leopards, cheetahs and even wild dogs. Etosha Park is also home to many birds. Accommodation: Standard: Etosha Safari Camp /Superior: Epacha Game lodge
