About the trip
This G Adventures small-group journey sets off for thirteen nights through the deserts and wildlife regions of Namibia and South Africa. Starting in southern Africa, the route includes visits to the towering dunes of Sossusvlei, the Fish River Canyon, and stretches on to Etosha National Park for game drives in search of the Big Five. Travellers spend several nights camping out under vast skies, with campsites ranging from bush and permanent tented camps to multi-share guesthouses and hostels.
The itinerary also pauses at the coastal town of Swakopmund, where the pace changes with potential sandboarding and township tours. Cape Town, with its urban offerings and nearby natural attractions, rounds off the trip. Along the way, participants travel comfortably in a safari vehicle suited to rough terrains, and the tour’s Chief Experience Officers share insights about the local history, cultures, and wildlife. It’s a blend of desert highs, wilderness drives and city exploration with considerable time spent outdoors and some long drives on varying road surfaces.
