Safari in Etosha National Park with a guide-driver (full day). 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

Etosha - Twyfelfontein/Damaraland, 390 km After breakfast, depart for the Himba village, where you can see the 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, departure to the Twyfelfontein area. 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: Mowani Mountain Camp

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.

Swakopmund – Namib Desert, 380 km Breakfast. 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 Lodge / Superior: Desert Hills Lodge

Sossusvlei At dawn you will go to the valley of the fabulous Sossusvlei dunes, playing with different colors at sunrise (transfer ≈ 50 minutes). 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. Return to the lodge. Free time for rest or extra. excursions.
