21- Day Indlulamithi Tour

Days 1, 2 & 3: Cape Town

Upon arrival in Cape Town you collect your rental car and drive about 45 minutes to our accommodation in Camps Bay which lies below the famous 12 apostle mountains on the backside of table mountain.​​

You will spend your first 3 nights over here with breakfast included which leaves you enough time to explore the city itself or take drives to the famous penguins in Simon's Town, walk up (or take the cable car!) Table Mountain or explore the Cape Peninsula and Cape of Good Hope.

Day 4: Springbok

Today is the day where you leave the big city and its unique vibes behind you and it is time to start the big adventure. In around 6 hours you make your way up North through the Western and Northern Cape into the middle of the Namaqualand.

Depending on the season (End August / September) of your holiday the area might be covered by a carpet of the brightest flowers. You will spend one night in a  Manor House which includes breakfast and dinner.

Days 5 & 6: Fish River Canyon

Today you enter Namibia at Vioolsdrif and drive through the Richtersfeld to the Fish River Canyon which is the largest canyon in Africa. Namibia is a fascinating country and very different from the rest of Southern Africa. The Namib-Naukluft National Park encompasses part of the Namib Desert (considered the world's oldest desert) and the Naukluft mountain range. With an overall area of 49768 km2 the Namib-Naukluft is the largest game park in Africa and the fourth largest in the world.

Right from the moment you enter Namibia up to Twyfelfontein (Day 12) you will be in and around this massive park! You will spend your first two nightswith sweeping views of its ancient surroundings, breakfast included. It is only about 20 km from the viewpoints of Fish River Canyon which makes it great for a short drive on the second day and enjoy this fascinating landscapes.

Days 7 & 8: Aus

Once more you head further north into the Namib-Naukluft. A lot of people skip the area around Aus but those who go actually believe it is one of the most beautiful parts of Namibia.

You will stay here for two nights which will give you the possibility of visiting Luderitz on the coast, the ghost town of Kolmanskop and hopefully get a glimpse of Namibia's wild horses which make Aus so famous. You will overnight with breakfast in a chalet which offers views that take your breath away.

​

Days 9 & 10: Sossusvlei

Still going north you enter the Sesriem / Sossusvlei region, Namibia's most visited area. Said to be the oldest desert in the world it certainly is the most impressive. The way elephants can humble you in the bush with their size and silent gentleness, so does this natural, massive sea of sand make you stand in awe of its age (almost as old as the Earth itself!) and beauty!

You will spend 2 nights at the Desert Camp which is only a few kilometers from the gate into the park making sunset and sunrise trips easy to undertake. Breakfast is included and a large number of activities can be booked at the lodge.

Day 11: Swakopmund

After 7 days in more arid regions you make your way to the coast to the town of Swakopmund which is a small little town with a German feel to it. It offers a lot of fun activities such as skydiving, dune boarding and ocean trips.

If you really want to do some of it we suggest to plan a second day here. You will spend one night (or two for the more adventurous) with breakfast.

Day 11: Kwando River

From Rundu you will continue direction East in the Caprivi Strip and after about 6 hours you reach Kwando which once more is nestled along the shores of the mighty Zambezi.

Here once more you may book sunset cruises, game viewing cruises or game drives and make sure you get the best out of the stunning landscapes. Your stay includes breakfast.

Day 12: Twyfelfontein

Today you head into Damaraland, the part of Namibia which is famous for its rolling pink hills, massive socialble weaver nests, Bushmen engravings and of course the elusive Desert Elephants.

You will stay one night in a stunning which certainly offers the best feel of this region, breakfast and dinner included. You can visit Twyfelfontein on your way to the lodge.

Days 13, 14 & 15: Etosha National Park

After a lot of stunning landscapes it is time to go on safari! In about 2 1/2 hours you make your way to Etosha National Park which is famous for its enormous saltpan in the middle and its surrounding waterholes visited by hundreds of animals every day.

You overnight at camps inside the park from the West to the East - Okaukuejo, Halali and Namutoni - making it easy to follow the roads along the waterholes without having to drive the same way back to the camp(s). You will overnight in chalets with breakfast.

Day 16: Rundu

From Namutoni you will head east direction Caprivi Strip where you will spend one night on the shores of the Okavango River where especially the sunset cruise is a must do!

Days 17 & 18: Kwando River

Today you head further east to the area around the Kwando River which is similar to the Chobe river area but maybe even a bit greener and lusher. You will spend two nights here at Namushasha River Lodge which offers you a river experience on a smaller scale.

You can join river cruises here in search of elephants, hippos, crocodiles and lots of other animals or you can opt for a game drive in the nearby Bwabata National Park.

Days 19, 20 & 21: Chobe National Park

Today you will finally cross into Botswana for your final two nights at the in Kasane. You will drop off your car at the airport and the lodge will collect you. You will stay in a safari room on a room only basis. Their restaurant however offers buffets and an a la carte menu.

The lodge itself offers river cruises on the Chobe River where you will certainly see huge herds of elephants and game drives in the nearby Chobe National Park. Another option would be a guided day tour to the legendary Victoria Falls which is a must on every Africa traveller's bucket list.
