Itinerary
Day 1: Cape Town
Get the most out of your time in Cape Town by pre-booking the South African Wine Tour and Tasting extra. If you do, we recommend booking accommodation for an extra night pre-tour as this activity has an early start time. Please note, due to the timings of this activity, there is a possibility you may miss the welcome meeting on day 1 of your tour - in this case, your CEO will leave you a message detailing what time and where you should meet the next morning.
Day 2: Cape Town/Lambert's Bay
Today's journey takes you to Lambert's Bay, a picturesque town on the west coast of South Africa, where you will enjoy an included wine tasting. Learn how to analyze your palates, listen to your taste buds, and how to pair your food with the best wine raised in the foothills of the Cederburg Mountains.
Day 3: Lambert's Bay/Orange River
Travelling north, the group will enjoy a full day's travel through this dry and remote part of South Africa.
In the mid-afternoon, cross into Namibia and a more arid region with a stop at scenic Orange River for the evening. After getting settled, choose to enjoy the late afternoon by the river bank.
Day 4: Orange River/Fish River Canyon/Keetmanshoop
Day 5: Keetmanshoop/Namib Desert
Arrive in the area in the late afternoon, where the towering red sand dunes of Sossusvlei form the gateway into the Namib Desert.
Day 6: Namib Desert
Enjoy a visit to Sossusvlei, a clay pan enclosed by the world's largest sand dunes, up to 300m (984 ft) high. Here, use some free time to enjoy the sand dunes on your own. Visit the Sesriem Canyon, a small canyon typical of the area.
Day 7: Namib Desert/Swakopmund
Get a real feel for the Namib Desert as we spend hours crossing this empty region.
En route to the Namibian coast, take a coffee break in Solitaire, a mystical village consisting of a filling station, general dealer/coffee shop, and small mechanical workshop. Before arriving to Swakopmund, drive through Walvis Bay, the only town on the Namibian coastline that boasts a deep-sea harbor.
Spend two nights in the area exploring this historical town or trying some of the numerous activities available, such as sandboarding or a skydiving.
Swakopmund has bizarre lunar landscapes, unforgettable sunsets, and prehistoric Welwitchia plants.
Day 8: Swakopmund
You can pre-book your sky dive on the checkout page, or through your Global Connection Officer or travel agent.
Day 9: Swakopmund/Etosha National Park
Begin moving east into the interior of Namibia. On this route, pass through a lunar landscape and see the imposing Spitzkoppe, also known as the “Matterhorn” of Namibia, in the distance. Visit Etosha National Park on a wildlife safari drive in our touring vehicle. Keep an eye out for lions, giraffes, elephants, rhinos, and antelopes. After sunset, some animals may head to the watering holes near the campground.
Day 10: Etosha National Park
Day 11: Etosha National Park/Windhoek
Leave Etosha National Park and head south through the Namibian countryside to Windhoek.

The itinerary was too quick and I felt I didn't get to experience Namibia. The days of travelling were longer than stated. It seemed that times stated on the itinerary were driving time but when you factor in stopping for breaks/lunch the travelling days were much longer. There was no cultural aspect to the trip. I left without knowing anything about Namibia or Namibian people.

The entire experience was absolutely fantastic! Our CEO, Bryson, was top notch. He was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and an absolutely outstanding leader for the trip. He went above and beyond in every regard to make sure the trip was outstanding. Beyond that, the trip was well organized and we made stops at all of the destinations I was interested in going to. On another note, Bryson was excellent at helping us to book excursions as well as making sure that everything was running in a timely manner. 10/10.

An important decision in selecting a G Adventures tour is to carefully determine the age group, the length of the tour and itinerary and the cost factor. Our group aged from approx. 35-75, the length of the tour was just right, and the cost was very competitive.
