Day 4-5: Wellington / Cape Wineland
Departing Cape Town in the morning, proceed to Wellington, which lies amidst the well-known Western Cape Winelands. With its unmistakable mountain views, the award-winning Val du Charron Wine and Leisure Estate is situated in the picturesque Bovlei, ten minutes from the town of Wellington. With a history of winemaking dating back to 1699 Val du Charron’s wines are available worldwide but are best enjoyed surrounded by the vineyards themselves at one of the Estate’s restaurants or from your own balcony. Wellington is home to some of the biggest vine nurseries in the Southern Hemisphere so regardless of which South African wine you choose to drink; chances are high that it was born in Wellington! So where better to stay, than directly in the Winelands?
Accommodation: Val Du Charron Wine & Leisure Estate (Breakfast)
Optional Activities: Winelands Tour

Day 6: Clanwilliam / Western Cape
Departing the Cape Winelands in the morning we proceed through the Cederberg Mountain Range through the area of Citrusdal, where most of South Africa’s citrus fruits are grown and the famous ‘rooibos tea’ is produced. Your journey takes us through breathtaking mountain scenery to Clanwilliam, where you will spend the night. Your guest house is situated within the town and offers you personal service and a friendly atmosphere.
Accommodation: Yellow Aloe Guesthouse (Breakfast)

Day 7: Orange River
An early morning departure takes us all the way north to the Orange River, which is the natural border between South Africa and Namibia. Crossing into Namibia we reach our accommodation on the banks of the Orange river, where ewe can put up our feet, relax and enjoy the last sun rays of the day.
Accommodation: Norotahama River Resort (Breakfast)
Optional Activities: Orange River Rafting

Day 8: Fish River Canyon
This morning we have the opportunity to take part in a guided Canoeing trip on the Orange River. This cools us off before heading the short distance north to the Fish River Canyon, set in a harsh, rocky plain dotted with drought-resistant plants. With a length of 170 kilometres and an average depth of 550 meters, the canyon represents the second largest canyon on Earth after the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The afternoon offers us an optional sundowner drive or walks in the private Gondwana Canyon Nature Reserve. The drive is the perfect opportunity for you to acquaint yourself with the geology, flora and fauna of the Gondwana Canyon Park.
Accommodation: Canyon Lodge
Optional Activities: Sundowner walk-in Gondwana Canyon Park

Day 9-10: Aus & Lüderitz
After breakfast, travel the short distance to the viewpoint of the Fisch River Canyon, to take a scenic walk along the rim of the canyon to explore the area and experience the play of shadows within the canyon as the morning progresses. After experiencing the Fish River Canyon, you travel further west to the edge of the Namibian escarpment and the Succulent Karoo to Aus, where we spend two nights.
After an early breakfast, our morning starts with a visit to Kolmanskop ghost town. On the way to Lüderitz, we can stop at Garub, which is the viewing point for the Wild Horses of the Namib Desert. Kolmanskop, just 10 km outside of Lüderitz, is a deserted Diamond Mining Town in the Sperrgebiet National Park. Once an opulent and decadent town, a monument to the Diamond boom and built to last…until the diamonds ran out. Today Kolmanskop stands as a haunting monument to the thriving past, offering visitors unique photo motives into a bygone era. In Lüderitz we have the option to drive a scenic route along the “Große Bucht”, enjoying the fresh sea breeze before returning to Aus.
Accommodation: Klein Aus Vista - Desert Horse Inn (Breakfast)

Day 11: Namib Desert
This morning you travel via endless plains and along striking mountain ranges into the Namib Desert, the oldest desert on earth. Your lodge is situated close to Sesriem, the gate to two of Namibia’s most celebrated attractions: Sossusvlei, with some of the highest dunes on earth, and Sesriem Canyon. Both are moulded and shaped by the brute force of the Tsauchab, a non-perennial river that meanders through this majestic ocean of sand with its ever-changing colours. At your lodge, you have a wide variety of activities on offer, some of which include scenic nature drives, sundowner drives or quad bike rides over the private nature reserve. Alternatively, relax on the large veranda of the lodge with a view of a frequented waterhole. 
Accommodation: The Elegant Desert (Breakfast)
Optional Activities: Sundowner nature drive

Day 12: Sossusvlei
The best time to experience the Sossusvlei area is at sunrise when the light paints the dunes and desert palette into deep red, apricot and purple – this part of the day is also the most forgiving, as you are not exposed to the hot afternoon sun when clambering one of the mighty dunes. From Sossusvlei visit Dead Vlei, a surreal white clay pan surrounded by monumental dunes and dotted with age-old Camelthorn trees. Travelling back, visit the Sesriem Canyon, an 18 million-year-old gorge eroded into the conglomerate floor. Having returned to your lodge, cool off in the sparkling pool or take a refreshing drink in the bar overlooking the waterhole.
Accommodation: The Elegant Desert Lodge (Breakfast)
Optional Activities: Sossusvlei, Dead Vlei and Sesriem Canyon excursion

Day 13: Depart Windhoek
After a relaxed breakfast, travel up the Khomas plateau to Windhoek, where you return your rental vehicle and where the tour ends.
(Breakfast)
