The varied itinerary has been primarily filled with very high quality accommodation, however you will also stay on a Namibian typical farm to get to know the Naukluft. This trip "satiates" right at the beginning "big cat expectations" and shows you the wonderful nature of the Kalahari. In the Naukluft you will discover unexpected paradises, explore the Sossusvlei with the highest dunes on earth, enjoy Swakopmund as a vacation resort, experience bushmen, granite balls as well as the fantastic wildlife of the Etosha National Park.

Itinerary
Windhoek with big cat reception...
You will probably have an evening flight from Europe and get off the plane early in Windhoek. Reception at the airport, vehicle handover with insurance logistics, handover of your vouchers, maps, route description and welcome package. Your first drive takes you to your first place of accommodation - a high-quality lodge with an affiliated foundation. This is a pioneer in the rehabilitation of various big cats and wild dogs. For you as a visitor, lots of information and photo moments are guaranteed! During the feeding of the big cats you will learn a lot during interesting explanations.
- Breakfast
Kalahari
With its linear dune landscapes and camel thorn forests, the Kalahari is a photographer's paradise. Your drive takes you to a high-quality lodge in the middle of the Kalahari dune world, where you go on an afternoon game drive into the dunes.
- Breakfast
- Dinner
Naukluft - Namibian fold mountains
Your next destination is a folded mountain range in Namibia, the Naukluft. It was one of the most interesting areas in Namibia for the famous geologist Hans Cloos (book tip: Conversation with the Earth). Rare bird and plant species, mountain zebras and kudus, paradisiacal moments at clear springs under fig trees await you. You will spend the night on a genuine Namibian farm with German Namibian owners on the edge of the Naukluft. A bow field tour concludes the day.
- Breakfast
- Dinner
Dune landscapes at Sossusvlei
Experience beautiful and varied landscapes amidst the Namib dunes of the Namib Rand Nature Reserve and ecologically sound game drives through fantastic dune valleys. Sossusvlei is surrounded by the highest dunes in the world. Opportunities for climbing with fantastic views. Visit the Sesriem Canyon. You will get to know remarkable landscapes at the granite massif of the Rotstock near the slate worlds of the Gaub Canyon. You will spend the night in a high-quality lodge. Your overnight stay allows you to use and enjoy your own entrance to the Namib Naukluft Park. This also ensures an early arrival before the main streams of visitors on a guided game drive into Sossusvlei. The game drives take place in open terrain jeeps with well-informed guides. And a sundowner drive into the erosion valleys of Ghaub Canyon are the icing on the cake of your desert experience.
Info: The dunes at Sossusvlei are now usually visited by a large stream of visitors. After all, the dunes are a unique and beautiful landscape highlight. With your choice of accommodation, a super beautiful dune experience in the Namib Rand dune world awaits you. The lodge uses its own park entrance and thus you also get to know the world-famous Sossusvlei unadulterated and before the influx of most visitors. The extra charge is worth it because of the individual dune experience, the high quality of accommodation, the super service and the ecological principles of this lodge.

Another drive takes you to various rock paintings. Stay overnight in a scenic lodge and on a Namibian guest farm.

Etosha National Park
Etosha National Park is known as the "Great White Place". It covers over 22,000 square kilometres and is one of the most game-rich parks in the whole of Africa. The wildlife has lost its fear of vehicles and offers excellent opportunities for game viewing and photography.
Info on the situation in Etosha National Park: Etosha National Park suffers from an ever-growing flood of visitors. We therefore like to book the high-quality smaller lodges outside the park for our clients. However, this has the disadvantage that you cannot sit at the waterhole at night. Should you therefore prefer to spend the night inside the park, we will be happy to book this for you.
- Breakfast
- Dinner
Cheetahs and leopards
You will experience the home of the foundation for African cats - the "Africat Foundation". A successful observation of wild leopards is almost guaranteed here and you also get to see other cats such as cheetahs and lions. You will spend the night in a very high-quality bush camp in the middle of the acacia savannah.

Important for this trip
Entry requirements as well as vaccination requirements:
Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your trip at the time of entry and still have at least two blank pages. It must be in perfect condition, i.e. neither damaged (e.g. torn, bent, "repaired" by yourself or even accidentally washed) nor illegible or difficult to read due to dirt.
In recent times, there have been individual cases of problems with the immigration authorities at the airport and at the borders by land, because the period of validity of entry visas has been arbitrarily determined.
Germans may enter the country without a visa for short-term stays of up to 90 days per year for exclusively tourist purposes. A toll-free entry stamp (Visitors Entry Permit) is issued upon arrival at all official border crossings.
No compulsory vaccinations are required for direct entry from Germany. In case of entry from a yellow fever area or stay of more than 12 hours in transit of a yellow fever area, all persons from the age of 9 months have to prove a yellow fever vaccination. Namibia itself is not a yellow fever area.
Make sure that you and your children are up to date with the standard vaccinations according to the vaccination calendar of the Robert Koch Institute. As travel vaccinations, vaccinations against hepatitis A are recommended, and also against hepatitis B, typhoid, rabies and meningococcal disease (ACWY) for long-term stays or special exposure.
Special situation Covid-19:
Please cover your travel payments insurance-wise if you are unable to travel due to a positive test result. Some clients test themselves a few days before departure already to have a little more assurance. We find this step helpful.
You can also get tested at the airport so you can enter the country with a fresh test result. Namibia requires an English negative result no older than 72 hours prior to entry.
Please follow this link: https:// www.centogene.com/covid-19/test- centers/frankfurt-airport.html.
Please wear a mask upon entry and please bring masks for the road.
