Namibia to Cape Town Discovery

Arrive in Windhoek. Welcome to Namibia! Arrive into the capital, Windhoek, and make your own way to your accommodation. You'll meet the rest of your group at a welcome meeting this evening, this usually takes place around 6pm so please arrive in time to join this!

Leave the city streets of Windhoek behind and venture into the wilds of Namibia. Your destination is the stunning Waterberg Plateau Park where you can hike the trails and take in some spectacular views. En route, visit a female-led community organisation that empowers local women through art, textiles and pottery, here we can pick up lunch and some souvenirs.

Travel to Etosha - one of the most amazing wildlife arenas in Africa and home to the bio diverse Etosha Salt Pan, which covers nearly a quarter of the park. Enjoy a safari drive in our overland truck, looking for rhinos, elephants, giraffes and more, before an evening round the fire on the campsite.

Enjoy a full-day game drive through stunning Etosha. Stop off by the park's many watering holes to glimpse wildebeest taking a drink, or watch pelicans and flamingos picking their way across the dramatic salt pan. It's a wildlife-lover's dream!

Hit the road to Spitzkoppe this morning. Explore this magical landscape of twisting rock structures and soaring mountain peaks before some star-gazing on the campsite tonight with your travel buddies.

The road will take you east today towards the coastal city of Swakopmund. This adrenaline-pumping city is full of awesome optional activities, including skydiving and sandboarding. You'll enjoy two nights here, so make the most of everything on offer. Breakfast and lunch included on day 6.

Leave the adrenaline thrills behind and venture into the breath-taking Namib Desert. Tonight, you'll camp on the edge of the desert under African stars. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.

Drive to Sossusvlei and wander among the towering red sand dunes of the Sesriem Canyon. Climb the iconic Dune 45, a mighty dune with panoramic views of the orange and yellow sands of the Namib. Opt to take a guided tour of the Sossusvlei salt and clay pan with a local guide (extra cost). Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.

Journey south to Fish River Canyon, Africa's largest canyon. With views that rival the USA's Grand Canyon, you'll want to have your camera handy today! Spend some time on the rim staring out at the deep grooves and waiting for a spectacular orange sunset. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.

You'll be hopping across the border into South Africa today, your second country of the trip! Your group will set up camp on the banks of the gorgeous Orange River, where you can slip into the waters for a swim, or even hire a canoe and glide along the South African/Namibian border (extra cost). Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.

Drop south through the Western Cape and arrive at the rocky slopes of the Cederberg Mountains. You'll be camping on a local farm, where you can relax and sample some local wine, or explore the surrounding hillsides. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.

Arrive into the buzzing streets of Cape Town. Wander the vibrant shops and bars, visit the District Six Museum (extra cost) and bask in the mighty sight of Table Mountain. It's your final night with your group, so celebrate with an optional night out. Breakfast and lunch included.

Your wonderful overland tour of Africa has come to an end! Spend a final morning with your group and then head off to the airport for your flight home. Your guide will help you with your onward travel plans so you'll have a smooth journey! Breakfast included.
