Day 1 Windhoek
After you arrive at the international airport you are met by a local travel consultant who will go through your safari and assist with any questions you may have (optional – not included). After collecting your rental vehicle (not included) you continue onwards to Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. Your guesthouse is situated in a quiet residential suburb and it is close to the city centre with its Afro-European flair and peaceful atmosphere. After checking in and settling down you have ample time to explore what Namibia’s capital has to offer, from the iconic “Christus Kirche”, “Tintenpalast”, and “Alte Feste” just some of the relics from the country's colonial history or stroll along the quaint streets lined with craft markets. In the evening enjoy typical Namibian cuisine in one of the numerous excellent restaurants in the city.

Day 2 - 3 The Kalahari Desert
After a leisurely breakfast, you head out south into the enormous sand mass on Earth, the Kalahari Desert. The Kalahari is a vast semi-desert of wind-blown sand held by a sparse mantle of thorn scrub making it the most extensive continuous stretch of sand covering 9 African countries. Unlike other true deserts, the Kalahari does receive erratic rainfall. For many, therefore "thirstland” is a more fitting description. Lacking permanent surface water, the Kalahari is a challenging place to live except for those who have adapted to not only survive but flourish here. The Bushmen refer to it as the "Soul of the World", an emotive description for this area! With its deep red dunes and endless grass plains interspersed with acacia and shrubs, it is still home to a surprisingly large amount of specially adapted wildlife. During your two-day stay, enjoy the opportunity to experience the red dunes, wildlife, and plants and the unique opportunity to experience traditional farm life in Namibia. In this desert environment an optional nature drive is a must experience for young and older.

Game viewing in the park is primarily focussed around the waterholes, some of which are spring-fed and some supplied from a borehole, ideal places to sit and watch over 114 different game species, or for an avid birder, more than 340 bird species. Popular game species such as giraffe, blue wildebeest, plains and mountain zebra, hyena, lion, leopard, antelopes such as kudu, oryx, eland, as well as some of the endangered species such as Black rhino, cheetah and the black-faced impala are all found here. An extensive network of roads links the over 30 water holes allowing visitors the opportunity of a comprehensive game-viewing safari throughout the park as each different area will provide various encounters.
