Enjoy postcard perfect desert scenery around Sesriem and Sossusvlei - vast desertscapes of reds and orange, stark camel thorn trees and towering dunes with dramatic curved ridges. Also keep an eye out for the surprising amount of wildlife that call this area home such as oryx, springbok, jackal, ground squirrel and hyena.

This afternoon, take a tour of Mondesa township with a local guide, learning about its people and history. Visit the local market for an introduction to traditional foods such as wild spinach, mopane worms, and dried sardines or kapenta.

Day 7: Swakopmund/Etosha National Park Area
Day 8: Etosha National Park Area
After the vast desert, Etosha National Park, offers a contrast of wide open grasslands, a massive salt pan that covers 4731km² and tall camel thorn trees intermixed with Mopani trees. With a combination of natural waterholes, and diverse vegetation, wildlife flock to the park. Some of the largest elephants in Africa can be found in areas of thicker vegetation, as well as leopards. Lions, giraffe, ostrich and many antelope species can be found in the grasslands, while birders will love the salt pans which attract flamingos in the rainy season. More than 340 bird species have been counted in Etosha National Park including the European bee-eater, the kori bustard and numerous migratory birds.

This g adventure is lower end than national geographic. Every one paid less than 2000$ except us who paid 4500$ for national geographic and received g adventure instead. We are ask for a refund of 5000$ asap. This is fraud and misrepresentation and scamming older people. Please refund the extra charge.

The group makes the trip good. The CEO was good with all the information he gave on daily basis whether it was on logistics or other tour related. The driver was very care and knew not only about driving but was able to fix problems given the long distance driving. All in all the tour pretty much covered the highlights of Namibia. We enjoyed the tour and the group and recommend it to others.

Beautiful country. Tour hits all the most known places. Roads aren't great so the long hours in the bus got tiring. Guide good at planning frequent stops.

Great things we saw!! A pity was the mistake in Etosha ( wrong dates in booking) forcing us to go to a run down camp. But also the planned camp (next day) was of low quality, with rather unfriendly personnel.

Amazing experience, our CEO was great and super helpful, my luggage did not make it to Windhoek and he was incredibly helpful and managed to get my bags! He went beyond what it is expected from a CEO.
