Itinerary

Giorno 1 — Windhoek

I arrive and transfer to the hotel. With approximately 350,000 inhabitants, Windhoek is the capital and largest city of Namibia. Located in a lush valley between the Auas mountains, at an altitude of 1,700 meters, Windhoek is a pleasant city with a European atmosphere that blends colonial tradition and modernity. Due to its central location, it is the ideal gateway to the rest of the country. Available evening. Dinner free. Accommodation Arebbusch Travel Lodge.

Auto

Giorno 2 — Windhoek → Sossusvlei

Km 370 - hours 5 approximately
breakfast. Departure for deserto del Namib. Lunch along the way (not included). Meeting with the guide at the reception at for an informative orientation on the trip. The Namib Desert is one of the oldest on Earth, famous for the beauty of its dunes, some of the tallest in the world. These dunes are protected by the Namib-Naukluft Park, a national park larger than Switzerland. Mobile accommodation. Sesriem Camping is located right at the entrance of the park that encompasses the vast Namib Desert and the Sossusvlei dunes, a short distance from the Sesriem Canyon. Dinner in the countryside.

Giorno 3 — Sossusvlei

Breakfast in the countryside. Wake up in the early hours of the morning to admire the spectacle of the sunrise on the highest sand dunes in the world, which change color with the changing light. The morning continues with a visit to Dead Vlei, a very suggestive salt pan created by the evaporation of a section of the Tsauchab River and surrounded by monumental dunes; the vlei is reached by a walk of about 5 km (about an hour and a half); the silence is almost unreal and the color contrasts are strong: the black of the "camelthorn" trees, the white of the clayey ground, the reddish tones of the dunes that stand out against the intense blue of the sky. In the afternoon, a short excursion to the Sesriem Canyon, carved by the erosive action of wind and water 18 million years ago. Dinner in the countryside.

Auto

Giorno 4 — Sossusvlei → Walvis Bay → Swakopmund

Km 380 - hours 4:30 approximately
breakfast in the countryside. You leave the desert for the ocean, crossing the northernmost part of the Namib Naukluft Park. Arrive at Walvis Bay. Walvis Bay is a port city located on the western coast of Namibia, on the shores of Walvis Bay. It is the third largest city in the country and the main commercial port, as well as an important fishing center. The city offers a wide range of tourist attractions, including pristine beaches, nature reserves, and national parks. The bay itself is one of the main attractions of the city, with its wide range of marine fauna, including dolphins, seals, whales, and a great variety of birds. The spectacle of the pink flamingos in the lagoon is also spectacular. The city also hosts a number of cultural and sporting events, including the Desert Festival and the Walvis Bay Fly Fishing Tournament. Additionally, there are many outdoor activities to choose from, such as surfing, kiteboarding, and quad biking. Lunch along the way (not included). Continue to Swakopmund. Swakopmund is the largest coastal town in the country, nestled between a sea of dunes and the Atlantic Ocean. Founded by the Germans in 1892 as the main port for their colony, it is a pleasant town with colonial buildings in German style and excellent restaurants; but above all, it is an ideal base for numerous excursions in the surrounding area. The city offers numerous outdoor activities, such as surfing, fishing, skydiving, quad biking, and desert excursions. Afternoon available. Dinner free. Accommodation Dunedin Star Guest House.

Auto

Giorno 5 — Swakopmund → Damaraland → Spitzkoppe

Km 120 - hours 1:50 approximately
breakfast in the countryside. Departure to Spitzkoppe. Lunch along the way (not included). The journey continues in the Damaraland region, a harsh and rocky desert expanse with suggestive landscapes and unique rock formations, inhabited by desert elephants. The camp is set up at Spitzkoppe Camp, the only one in the area, recently set up; for tonight it will not be possible to set up portable toilets or showers, as it is in a protected area: the park's restroom facilities will be used. After the dunes of Sossusvlei, Spitzkoppe is the most famous icon of Namibia, a rocky outcrop known as the Matterhorn of Africa, which towers 700m above the surrounding plateau. This granite sugar loaf of volcanic origin was formed 130 million years ago and has been shaped by erosion into domes and arches that glow like burnished gold in the light of sunset. The famous sequences of "2001: A Space Odyssey: The Dawn of Man" were filmed here. And when night falls, the spectacle of the starry sky is indescribable. A walk is planned to appreciate all the beauty of the place. Dinner in the countryside.

Auto

Giorno 6 — Spitzkoppe → Etosha National Park

Km 430 - hours 6:30 approximately
breakfast in the countryside. Departure to Etosha National Park. Lunch along the way (not included). Etosha is the focal point of every trip to Namibia. Two million years ago, it was a huge saltwater lake, which left behind a vast salt desert - Etosha saltpan - visible even from space and surrounded by thorny savannah, mopane shrubs, and arid forest. Today, Etosha is one of the most important African wildlife parks, as large as Lazio and Molise combined, with the largest concentration of black rhinos in the world. A 2005 census counted 250 lions, 300 rhinos, 3,000 giraffes, 12,000 zebras, 4,000 wildebeests, 5,500 oryx, and 2,500 elephants; there are at least 20,000 springbok gazelles. Safaris take place along the tracks that connect the waterholes where animals quench their thirst. The driest period, between June and November, is the best time to visit because the animals gather around the scarce waterholes to drink. The camp is set up in the Okaukuejo rest area, at the western end of the Etosha Pan; the camp overlooks a permanent waterhole that is illuminated at night and attracts a large number of animals. It is not uncommon to see elephants, lions, and rhinos together at the watering hole in the evening, which is a fascinating sight. Afternoon photosafari with private truck. Dinner in the countryside.

Giorno 7 — Etosha National Park

Breakfast in the countryside. Sunrise and late afternoon photosafari with private truck. The vast salt flat of the Etosha Pan dominates the park; during the dry season, the pan offers extremely harsh living conditions and animal sightings are more frequent as they gather around water sources; but even during the rainy season, the wildlife is easily visible and there is also a rebirth of life, with the presence of cubs and the greenery of shrubs and grass. The camp is set up in the equipped area of Namutoni, around an old German fort, on the King Nehale waterhole; an elevated walkway offers excellent opportunities to enjoy the surrounding landscape, animals, and spectacular sunsets. Dinner in the countryside.

Auto

Giorno 8 — Etosha National Park → Zambesi Region (ex Caprivi)

Km 445 - hours 6 approximately
breakfast in the countryside. Final photo safari in Etosha National Park. Departure to Zambezi Region (former Caprivi Strip). We head north towards the border with Angola; human settlements are practically non-existent because most of the region's inhabitants live along the Kavango River, a true oasis after kilometers of desert. Rundu, the capital of the region, is located on a promontory and serves as the gateway to Caprivi, a narrow strip of land 500 km long, with a tropical climate and vegetation. Lunch along the way (not included). The camp is set up in the equipped area of the n'Kwazi Camp, 20 km from Rundu. Sunset on the river. Dinner in the countryside.

Auto

Giorno 9 — Zambesi Region (ex Caprivi) → Delta Okavango

Km 340 km - hours 7 approximately
breakfast in the countryside. Departure to Okavango Delta. Lunch along the way (not included). Crossing the Caprivi, you enter Botswana and reach the campsite set up on the edge of the Delta. When the Okavango River, after a journey of 1,300 kilometers from its sources in Angola, enters Botswana, it encounters the sands of the Kalahari and forms a marshy delta of one million and six hundred thousand hectares (roughly the size of Lazio), with channels, lagoons, and islands covered in papyrus, reeds, palms, and water lilies. The Okavango Delta is a true natural paradise populated by lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, elephants, zebras, giraffes, water antelopes, buffaloes, hippos, and crocodiles, as well as thousands of birds, including flamingos, pelicans, herons, and storks. Dinner in the countryside.

Giorno 10 — Delta Okavango

Full board at the camp. Transfer of about 30 minutes by boat to reach the meeting point for the activities in the area. A day dedicated to exploring the Delta on typical mokoro boats and by boat, and with a pleasant walk in the bush, for a complete immersion in the beautiful nature of this region. Dinner in the countryside.

Auto

Giorno 11 — Delta Okavango → Chobe National Park

Km 350 - hours 7 approximately
breakfast in the countryside. Departure to Chobe National Park. Lunch along the way (not included). Depart the Delta to enter Namibia. Continue on to the eastern part of the Caprivi area. We will spend the night amidst the lush vegetation overlooking the Okavango River. Chobe National Park is one of the great African parks, comparable in size to the entire Abruzzo region, and combines three types of natural environments: sandy depressions, shrub desert, and the alluvial plains of the great rivers Lynianti and Chobe, which flow into the Zambezi near Kasane, where four states - Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe - meet. Their lush basins provide the ideal environment for herds of elephants, buffalos, and zebras, for which the park is famous. The camp is set up in the area of Chobe Safari Lodge, on the banks of the Chobe River at the edge of the National Park. Dinner in the countryside.

Giorno 12 — Chobe National Park

Breakfast in the countryside. In the morning, photo safari in the park. Free time for lunch (not included). At sunset, a photo safari by boat on the Chobe River. Dinner in the countryside.

Auto

Giorno 13 — Chobe National Park → Victoria Falls

Km 90 - hours 1 approximately.
Breakfast in the countryside. Departure to Victoria Falls. You cross the border with Zimbabwe. Hotel accommodation. When David Livingstone saw the waterfalls, he was impressed by the power of the waters and without hesitation baptized them with the name of his Queen. The British Empire has long since vanished, but the Zambezi River has not diminished its strength and continues to plummet for a hundred meters (twice the height of Niagara Falls) over a two-kilometer front in the narrow Batoka Gorge. Straddling the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, Victoria Falls are rightly counted among the wonders of the natural world; on a clear day, the veil of foam caused by the fall of nine million liters of water can be seen tens of kilometers away and feeds the rainforest that thrives on the opposite bank. The name given by the indigenous people to the waterfall is precisely linked to the cloud of droplets that hovers over the falls: Mosi-Oa-Tunya - literally the "smoke that thunders". You have an afternoon and a morning available in one of the most spectacular places in Africa for optional excursions and to browse through local markets; there are many possible activities (optional, not included): rafting, canoeing, cruises on the Zambezi, helicopter or plane flights over the falls, walks, elephant-back safaris, bungee jumping, and of course visiting the falls. Available evening. Dinner free. Accommodation Cresta Sprayview Hotel. Km 100 - hours 2 approximately

Giorno 14 — Victoria Falls

Breakfast. Morning available. Airport transfer. End of the tour.
