The Route

Distance: ~1,800 km

Duration: 10–14 days

Windhoek
Start in Namibia’s capital with German colonial architecture, craft markets, and hearty cuisine. Stock up on supplies and get a taste of the country’s diverse identity.

Sossusvlei
Climb some of the world’s tallest dunes and photograph the surreal Deadvlei clay pan. The red-orange desert landscape is unlike anywhere else on Earth.

Swakopmund
A quirky seaside town with German flair, coastal fog, and adventure sports. Try sandboarding, skydiving, or quad biking in the dunes.

Skeleton Coast
Remote, eerie, and dramatic. Explore shipwrecks, seal colonies, and endless fog-draped beaches. It’s hauntingly beautiful and deeply atmospheric.

Etosha National Park
Finish with world-class wildlife viewing around vast salt pans. Spot elephants, rhinos, lions, and more at waterholes, especially in the dry season (June–Oct)
