    Arrival in Namibia | Transfer to Okonjima Plains Camp | Guided Game Drive

    Upon arrival in Namibia, you will be picked up by our Kubwa Five Safaris representative and guide with your name printed on it an A4 paper from Windhoek’s Hosea Kutako International Airport.

    You will have a short time to change money, if necessary, before departing on your safari.

    It's time to get your Namibian safari underway. There are just a few formalities before you get started, and we'll have you out on the road and exploring in no time. The wildlife and landscapes that lie just over the horizon mean you have so much to look forward to, and it all starts here.

    Today's journey is about 263.1km (about a 3-and-a-half-hour drive).

    After the rhino tracking, you will be transferred to the Cheetah Conservation Foundation for the cheetah drive and feeding tour.

    After, you will be driven to Mount Etjo or have rhino tracking at Mount Etjo in the morning on day 3. This will depend on the availability of the guide at these locations.

    Travel To Etosha National Park | Evening Game Drive

    After an early breakfast, you travel to Etosha National Park. You will have an evening game drive. During this activity, you will see various animals inside Etosha National Park. Finally, in the evening, you will depart for your accommodation at a lodge outside the national park. 

    The park cannot support the large herds of game found in East Africa, but it has a diverse and haunting quality that few parks can match. Etosha or “the great white place,” owes its unique landscape to the Etosha Pan, a vast shallow depression of approximately 4800
    sq km.

    A series of waterholes along the southern edge of the pan attract game into this area. While anywhere in Etosha National Park is guaranteed to be a fantastic safari experience, we think you'll particularly enjoy Eastern Etosha National Park.

    It has all the usual Etosha features, from the iconic salt pans to the fantastic wildlife. But its safari trails are less crowded because the camps out here are smaller and more exclusive.

    Meals and overnight at Okaukuejo Resort/ Etosha Safari Lodge/ Etosha Safari Camp.

    This morning requires an early start, around 7:00am. You will visit Sossusvlei (Dune 45), Deadvlei, and Sesriem Canyon in your rented vehicle. Park fees are
    included, and the evening is spent at leisure.

    You'll spend the morning exploring the dune fields. The Namib Sand Sea is the second UNESCO World Heritage Site for Namibia (2013). One of the oldest, driest and most pristine areas on Earth, the Namib Desert is a world of vast spaces, endless horizons, dramatic deserts capes and jagged mountain heights. The best
    time for photography in the dunes is early in the morning when the rising sun still casts shadows that give depth and contrast to the dunes.

    You'll drive along the ancient Tsauchab riverbed until the tar road ends, the last few kilometres of thick sand to reach Sossusvlei: "the gathering place of the water." Sossusvlei is a striking white pan surrounded by ancient Camelthorn trees and the towering orange dunes of Namib. You'll visit Sesriem Canyon, a 30-meter deep gauge incised into the desert floor by the Tsauchab River. You'll rest in the afternoon and relax.

    The sand dunes of Sossusvlei are one of the greatest natural wonders of southern Africa, and you'll get to see it all. Access to this remarkable place is along a long sand valley lined with dunes of seemingly impossible size and beauty. Climb one for incredible views, and then enjoy the warm and softening colors of the sand near sunrise and sunset.

    Climb to the top of Dune 45, one of the most shapely and accessible of the dunes in Sossusvlei. The dune gets its name from the location (it's 45km from Sesriem). It's a challenging climb in the soft sand, but you can take your time and your reward is fantastic views from the summit. There are some good trees nearby for photos with dunes in the background.

    You may decide on an optional activity. Why not? For sunrise, a trip in a hot air balloon. You will float in the air while admiring one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. You will be served a glass of champagne and a full breakfast at the landing. This activity is not included in the price and will be charged at ZAR 11352 per person (which is equivalent to US $615 per person).
