Immense Fish River Canyon
Sand dunes at Sossusvlei
Camping under African starry skies
Bizarre lunar landscapes near Swakopmund
This 12-night tour with G Adventures travels northwards from South Africa into Namibia, blending wildlife watching, landscapes and local culture. After an introduction in Cape Town, the itinerary includes a wildlife safari in Etosha National Park where the "big five" might make an appearance, and the immense Fish River Canyon, a deep chasm carved over millennia. Along the way, you'll encounter the vast sand dunes of Sossusvlei and the bizarre lunar terrain near Swakopmund, a town known for its proximity to the Skeleton Coast and adventurous activities.
Journeys
Travel is on a rugged 24-seat vehicle known as the Lando, suited for less-trodden paths and with a team of Chief Experience Officers managing logistics and meal preparation. Camping under open skies provides a real feel for the vastness of Africa's landscapes, while the chance to help with cooking and setting up camp encourages a communal spirit. The tour balances included activities and free time, allowing for an occasionally rugged journey across varied terrain that is part of its appeal.
This is an overland trip characterized by considerable daily travel on sometimes uneven roads, punctuated by natural wonders and wildlife sightings. The style is not luxury but offers access to striking features of southern Africa with like-minded travellers.
