Meals: Dinner 

We leaving the Richtersveld just after breakfast and make it to the border at ontseepkans border post. After the border, we headed for Ai-Ais hot spring, where we will relax for the afternoon and enjoy the hot spring and what is to offer us. We have dinner before we go for a good night rest.

We have some breakfast before we make our way to the lookout point to the fish river Canyon and then continue to our lodge/hotel for the evening. At our lodge/hotel is some optional activities that one can do, or relax around the swinging pool before we go on a sunset drive

We have breakfast before we continue to the Namib Naukluft Park. The Namib-Naukluft Park is a national park in western Namibia, situated between the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and the edge of the Great Escarpment. It encompasses part of the Namib Desert, the Naukluft mountain range, and the lagoon at Sandwich Harbour. We settle in our lodge at Sossusvlei and relax the rest of the day on our own leisure.

We get up early and have some coffee before we enter the park and to the dead valley. Deadvlei is a white clay pan located near the more famous salt pan of Sossusvlei, inside the Namib-Naukluft Park in Namibia. Also written DeadVlei or Dead Vlei, its name means "dead marsh". The pan also is referred to as "Dooie Vlei" which is the fully Afrikaans name. When we return we visit the Sesriem Canyon before we return to our lodge and enjoy a hearty brunch. The rest of the day we spent on our own leisure and do some optional activities like the Hotairballoon.

We continue our journey after breakfast to the north and stop at Solitaire. Solitaire is a small settlement in the Khomas Region of central Namibia near the Namib-Naukluft National Park. It currently features the only gasoline station, bakery, cafe, and the only general dealer between the dunes at Sossusvlei and the coast at Walvis Bay, as well as to the capital Windhoek. Moose Macgregors apple pie is to die for and you cannot visit Solitaire without calling in here for coffee and pie. You can even buy extras for the following days on the road. We cross the Tropic of Capricorn on our way to Walvis bay where we book our optional activities for the next day, like the living desert tour, Sandwich Harbour Tour, Moonlandscape & Welwitschia Drive, Sandwich Harbour Dune Excursion, Desert & Dunes Photo 5 hour tour( AM or PM), Sandwich Harbour 4x4 Adventure just to name a few.

Today we spent at one's own leisure. We do all the activities that we had book the day before. Like the Marine Dolphin Seal Cruise, Cultural & Theme Tours, Walvis Bay Food, Wine & Nightlife, Walvis Bay Shore Ex - Flamingo, Dune7, Welwitschia, Moonlandscape, Oasis, Swakopmund, and many more.

We visit Dune 7 after breakfast and then continue our tour to the north. We stop en-route for lunch (own expense). As if someone’s huge rock finger would protrude vertically into the air – this is how the Vingerklip stands, like a monument 70km west of the little town Outjo. Situated halfway be-tween Outjo and Khorixas, the Vingerklip is one of Namibia’s most famous and remarkable rock formations attracting substantial numbers of tourists. This evening we have a hearty dinner in the famous Eagle nest.

We continue just after breakfast to visit the Himba Tripe. Witness a piece of tradition preserved through time in the tribal ways of the people at Otjikandero Himba Orphanage Village. Visitors have the chance to interact with the Himba people through a local English-speaking guide, but be mindful of your questions and the differences between the cultures. Observe the outfits of the women of the village, their daily routines, and shop for handicrafts they made to trade with tourists. The project serves to help the people continue their ways without succumbing to the modern lifestyle, as some of the profit goes to their protection. We visit the cheetah conservation where we spent the Night.

Today we continue to Etosha National park. Since Etosha National Park is the gateway to Northern Namibia and Ovamboland, it’s a very popular stop on any Namibian tour. Above all, it is known as Namibia’s foremost wildlife sanctuary.
The landscape is unique and varied and subsequently home to a wide variety of animals. For example lion, elephant, leopard, giraffe, cheetah, hyena, springbok, two kinds of zebra, eland and many more species of wildlife are found here.

We leaving Etosha National Park today and make our way down south to Okahandja. Okahandja is a city of 24,100 inhabitants in Otjozondjupa Region, central Namibia, and the district capital of the Okahandja electoral constituency. It is known as the Garden Town of Namibia. It was founded around 1800, by two local groups, the Herero and the Nama. The biggest woodcraft marked in Namibia is also located here.

On a hilltop in the city center are the 1890s Alte Feste, a former military headquarters with historical exhibits, and Independence Memorial Museum. Colonial influences are visible in nearby buildings like the sandstone Lutheran Christus Church.

We take you to the airport after breakfast where we say our goodbyes.
