Day 1 & 2

Windhoek - Fish River Canyon

The flight from Windhoek to southern Namibia is an intertesting one. Carving out an epic rocky wonderland in the south of Namibia, the Fish River has created Africa’s largest and the world’s second-largest canyon. Hot, dry and stony, the Fish River Canyon measures a whopping 160 kilometres in length, at times 27 kilometres in width and 550 metres in depth. The awe-inspiring natural beauty of this ancient geological marvel draws visitors from around the globe. For those looking for adventure, the intense 85 kilometre Fish River Hiking Trail through1.5 billion years of geological history will definitely thrill avid adventure enthusiasts, and for visitors looking to relax, head over to the canyon’s southern end to enjoy a soak in the mineral waters of the renowned hot springs of Ai-Ais, or take in the spectacularly scenic views from Hobas Restcamp as well as numerous other viewpoints along its rim. Other popular activities include: scenic chartered flights, horse riding, nature drives and seasonal kayaking.

Day 3

Fish River - Luderitz

Sandwiched between the rugged and stark Atlantic Coast and the arid desert of Namibia, the town of Luderitz is located in an incredible unique geographical setting. This seaside town is something of an anomaly frozen in time – a piece of 19th-century Bavaria bordering the pinkish sand dunes of the Namib Desert. Lutheran churches, German bakeries, and colonial buildings boasting German art nouveau architecture are dotted about the settlement, while its windswept beaches are home to flamingos, ostriches, seals, and penguins. The nearby ghost town of Kolmanskop, which has been taken over by the desert dunes, is another fascinating must-see attraction, located approximately 10 kilometres from Luderitz central, along with the herd of wild desert-adapted horses near the small town of Aus.

Day 4 & 5

Luderitz - Sossusvlei

After a morning departure from Lüderitz, enjoy a scenic charter flight over the Namib Desert, offering aerial views of the vast desert landscapes and the rugged beauty of Namibia’s coastline as you head toward Sossusvlei. Upon arrival, explore the towering red dunes that define this extraordinary region. In the afternoon, venture into the heart of Sossusvlei, where you can climb some of the highest dunes in the world or visit Deadvlei, with its striking contrast of white clay pans and ancient, sun-scorched trees. End the day with a spectacular sunset, watching as the desert sands glow in hues of orange and red, creating a truly magical experience.

Day 6 & 7
