About this trip
This is a self-drive tour, so you're behind the wheel for nine days, working your way across Namibia at your own pace with car hire and accommodation sorted in advance.
The route takes you from the towering dunes of Sossusvlei to the coastal quirks of Swakopmund, then inland to the wildlife of Etosha and the trails of the Waterberg Plateau. Days are largely free time, so you decide how long to linger at each stop.
It suits people who want to see a lot of Namibia without joining a group, but who still want the logistics of driving routes, car hire and places to stay worked out for them.
What you'll do
- Drive yourself through the dune fields of Sossusvlei
- Spend time in the German colonial town of Swakopmund
- Search for wildlife on game drives in Etosha National Park
- Hike sections of the Waterberg Plateau
- Self-drive and self-guided — you're navigating and driving between stops yourself
- Most days are unstructured free time rather than planned activities
- Car hire and accommodation are included, but excursions and entry fees may not be
