Travel north through more desert landscapes, pausing for a packed lunch en route, to reach the city of Swakopmund, Namibia’s most popular seaside resort.

This morning, embark on a cruise around the glorious Walvis Bay, where you’ll be on the lookout for the Marine Big 5 – whales, dolphins, mola (or sunfish), leatherback turtles and seals. Pass Pelican Point, with its lighthouse and colony of noisy Cape fur seals, oyster farms, ships and oil rigs, the views complimented by a serving of fresh oysters, sparkling wine and other sweet and savoury snacks. Back on dry land, hop in a 4x4 for an adventure to Sandwich Harbour. En route you’ll see the flamingos of Walvis Bay lagoon and the Walvis Bay salt pans, reaching a spectacular lookout point at the peak of a high sand dune that overlooks Sandwich Harbour Lagoon, former trading post turned protected area.
Depart Swakopmund and journey into Namibia’s northwest, to the foot of Brandberg Mountain. The mountain has been sacred to the indigenous San people for millennia; visit the Tsisab Gorge to see the San (‘Bushmen’) rock paintings, including the famous White Lady, believed to be over 2,000 years old. As you explore, keep an eye out for the mountain zebra, kudu, springbok, and desert elephant that roam the area. Make your way to your lodge accommodation.
Travel to Etosha National Park, a haven for wildlife and one of the most important game reserves in Southern Africa.
