Day 1 Swakopmund to Brandberg via Spitzkoppe
We leave Swakopmund early in the morning and make our way to the massive granite formations of Spitzkoppe which tower 700 metres above the desert plains below. The presence of rock art indicates their significance to the San people who lived here many years ago. We will enjoy a walk with a local guide and have the opportunity to view some examples of the rock paintings before setting off for our overnight stop for the evening.
Day 2 Brandberg and the White Lady
The Brandberg (Burning Mountains) are the highest mountains in Namibia and home to the famous “White Lady”. The white lady is one of more than 45 000 rock paintings in the area. This morning we will do the 1-hour hike to visit the painting that is said to be around 2 000 years old. After exploring the area, we continue our tour to the area of Kamanjab.
Day 3 Etosha National Park – Safari!
Rising early this morning we drive to the Etosha National Park. Etosha is the home of some of the most unique safari experiences in Africa. This afternoon we reach the park and begin with our first game drive (looking for wild animals) as we make our way to the rest camp
