Itinerary
day 1: desert to sea adventure – from swakopmund to khorixas
Our exploration of the desert begins with a trip up north, where the hot desert sands meet the cold waves of the Atlantic Ocean. We’ll stop at the seaside holiday town of Wlotskabaken for a photo opportunity before heading to the Lichen Fields for a viewing and talk by your guide on the Lichen Colonies. We then visit the renowned Seal Colony at Cape Cross, known as the largest in the world with over 200,000 Cape Fur Seals hugging the shore. Cape Cross marks the spot where the first European explorer set foot on the coast of Namibia in 1486, and was erected in honour of the then king of Portugal by explorer Diego Cao. (Please note that the Cape Cross Colony may be inaccessible at times which means that we will not be able to visit the seals.) The road then continues away from the coast and takes us towards the Khorixas area.

- Meals: Lunch, Dinner
- Included Highlight: Seal Colony at Cape Cross
day 2: ancient wonders – khorixas to etosha national park
This morning we will explore the Twyfelfontein Rock Engravings and the Petrified Forest in the Kunene Region with a local guide. This area has been inhabited for 6000 years by the Khoi San. These inhabitants used the site to conduct shamanist rituals. In the process, 2500 rock paintings were created. This site displays one of the largest concentrations of rock petroglyphs in Africa. Also on route, we visit the Petrified Forest, a national monument, comprising prehistoric tree trunks now fossilized. We leave Twyfelfontein for Etosha National Park. With vast salt pans, savanna, and woodland, Etosha is one of Africa’s finest game parks. At 18,000 sq km, it is one of the biggest Parks in Southern Africa. Etosha means “great white area,” which refers to the large dried pan in the middle of the Park. We will spend the afternoon exploring the park in the adventure truck.
