Welcome to Namibia! Arrive in Windhoek and transfer to your comfortable lodge in the city. Meet your Horizon Wildlife Tours guide and fellow travelers at a welcome briefing. Spend the afternoon exploring Namibia's vibrant capital before a relaxing evening to prepare for your safari adventure.

Depart Windhoek early for the semi-arid Kalahari Region. The landscape transitions from urban to wilderness as you drive through Namibia's heartland. Arrive at your lodge, settle in, and enjoy an afternoon game drive to spot resident wildlife. The Kalahari is home to unique species adapted to this distinctive environment.

Experience a full day of game drives in the Kalahari Region. Start with an early morning safari when wildlife is most active, then enjoy a mid-day rest at the lodge. Return for an afternoon game drive to maximize wildlife viewing opportunities. Your expert guide will share insights into the adaptations of desert-dwelling species.

Travel to Namib-Naukluft National Park and the legendary Sossusvlei. Witness the towering red dunes that rise dramatically from the desert floor—some reaching over 300 meters. Explore the famous vlei (salt pan) surrounded by these magnificent dunes. A truly unforgettable landscape that has captivated travelers for generations.

Head to the Atlantic coast and the charming seaside town of Swakopmund. This unique desert town sits where the Namib meets the ocean. Enjoy free time to explore the colonial architecture, local shops, and restaurants. Relax after days of driving with an optional sunset walk on the pristine beach.

Experience the hidden gem of Sandwich Harbour, where desert meets sea in spectacular fashion. This pristine coastal area is home to seals, flamingos, and other coastal wildlife. Navigate the narrow strip of land between the Atlantic and the dunes in an exciting 4x4 adventure. A truly unique Namibian experience not found on many safari itineraries.

Travel inland to the dramatic and rugged terrain of Damaraland. This remote region features stunning rock formations, ancient mountains, and desert-adapted wildlife. Explore the otherworldly landscape with your guide, learning about the unique ecosystem and the animals that thrive here. Damaraland offers some of Namibia's most dramatic scenery.

Enter the legendary Etosha National Park, one of Africa's premier wildlife destinations. This vast conservation area spans over 22,000 square kilometers and is home to over 100 mammal species. Begin your Etosha experience with afternoon game drives around the famous salt pan. Witness the incredible concentration of wildlife that gathers around water sources.

Spend a full day exploring Etosha's wildlife-rich landscapes. Start before dawn for an early morning game drive when predators are most active and the park is alive with wildlife. Return for breakfast and a rest, then head out for afternoon drives to different areas of the park. Your guide will position you at prime wildlife viewing locations for maximum sightings.

Begin your journey back to Windhoek with a final morning game drive in Etosha if time permits. Drive back to Namibia's capital for your departure. Reflect on your incredible 10-day adventure through some of Africa's most spectacular landscapes. Depart with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for Namibia's wild beauty.
