Itinerary

o/n Cornerstone Guesthouse, Swakopmund B&B
Day 2
A busy day today with an early start out on the water from Walvis Bay on a seal and dolphin tour where the cape fur seals are known to sometimes join you on the deck and the pelicans fly just a wingbeat away from the boat. During the afternoon we can search the gravel beds and salt flats for flamingos and cormorants or simply watch the sunset over the ocean

Day 3
On day 3 Tommy Collard, Namibia’s resident desert expert will take us out into the Namib to photograph some of the country’s rarer creatures that live only in this ancient desert. A day out with Tommy gives photographers the opportunity for close ups of sidewinders, scorpions, palmato geckos and namaqua chameleons to name but a few.

We have a long driving day today back through the Erongo Mountains to Omaruuru for lunch and then further north to the Andersson Gate and the entrance to Etosha. This huge park is home to an amazing diversity of wildlife and our first 3 nights will be spent in the western sector which is known for its open plains and wide vistas where vast herds of herbivores trek endlessly to the camp’s floodlit waterhole followed by the ever present carnivores looking for their next meal
o/n Okaukuejo bush chalets B&B
Day 7,8 and 9
This morning we travel further into the centre of the park and the wooded region surrounding Halali Camp.This diverse area has both Mopani woodland and dry savanna that rolls down to the very edge of the giant salt pan. The floodlit waterhole is a real highlight of this camp with black rhino and huge herds of elephants often seen along with porcupines, honey badgers and even the ever elusive leopard.

After a final game drive we leave the peace and quiet of Etosha and head south on the tar road until we reach the gates to Okonjima.

With its magnificent rooms, excellent cuisine and genuine conservation story, Okonjima is always a highlight of any trip to Namibia.
