Queen of the Desert | Journey Across Namibia
Details
If you've ever dreamed of discovering the true face of Africa - this trip is for you: surreal landscapes, breathtaking views of mountainous dunes, rich flora and fauna in their habitat, unique cultures. NAMIBIA electrifies visitors and for a reason it is called the most photogenic place on Earth!
It is difficult to describe the color of hot sand warmed from the sun, you just have to see it. The impressive Skeleton Coast, called by the former Portuguese sailors "the gate to hell", located on the Atlantic with shipwrecks on it. It's no secret that the coast is also a favorite seal place that you can often find there.
People living here regardless of whether they represent the tribe of Bushmen Damara, Herero, Bantu, Hottentots or Himba adhere to the principle that the cheapest and easiest way to improve their image is to smile. You'll also find out how much truth is said that we Europeans have watches and Africans have time.
What awaits you here are unforgettable joint evenings with the greatest sunsets, campfires under a canopy of stars, camps set up in the middle of the wildest corners of the world and the company of animals known so far mainly from National Geographic programs. We will experience the rhythm of communing with wildlife and experience the diversity of nature, meet unknown cultures and tribes.
Now you can get on the road with us and set off to the wilderness of some of the most remote places on African continent. Namibia is a real DESERT QUEEN, ruling its kingdom with the wind that carves the dunes, shapes beaches, rocky peaks and river banks.
Let's go!!
Day 1: Windhoek
Arrival in Windhoek, Namibia’s laid-back capital where colonial architecture meets Africa. After a short briefing, transfer into the city. The rest of the day at leisure to stretch the legs, grab a drink, or simply relax.
Day 2: Palmwag
We head north into the wild, where landscapes begin to open and the real adventure kicks in. On the way, stop at a traditional Himba village to learn about one of Namibia’s most iconic cultures with red ochre, intricate hairstyles, ancient traditions.
Arriving in Palmwag, the scenery turns dramatic: red hills, dry riverbeds, and desert-adapted wildlife territory. In the afternoon, head out on a scenic game drive through one of Namibia’s most untouched concessions. Keep your eyes open for desert elephants, giraffes, or even the elusive black rhino.
Day 3: Swakopmund
Today we follow the raw Atlantic edge of Namibia along the Skeleton Coast, a beautiful stretch of foggy shores, shipwreck stories, and endless horizons.
Stop at Cape Cross, home to one of the largest Cape fur seal colonies in the world, their population is about 260 thousand individuals.
By afternoon, arrive in Swakopmund, where desert dunes crash into the ocean. Indulge in this gorgeous locality with its beach walks, German inspired cafés, and few adrenaline options.
Optional kayaking with seals or skydiving.
Day 4: Namib desert
Leave the coast behind and drive inland toward the legendary Namib — the oldest desert on Earth.
On the way, stop at the Kuiseb Canyon viewpoint and cross the Tropic of Capricorn. The landscapes become vast, empty, almost cinematic.
Arrive in the desert and settle into the silence. Golden light, endless horizons, and star filled skies above.
Day 5: Sossusvlei & Deadvlei
Early wake up call. We drive deep into Sossusvlei to catch sunrise over the towering dunes. Climb Dune 45 as the sand glows red and gold beneath your feet. Some dunes here rise nearly 400 meters, the highest in the world.
Once we are done with picnic breakfast at the feet of the dune, we head for a walk through otherwordly Deadvlei, where the vast expanse of white salt contrasts with the surrounding red dunes and dried tree stumps.
Day 6: Sesriem Canyon - Windhoek
Before leaving the desert, explore Sesriem Canyon, carved over centuries by seasonal floods, a cool and shaded contrast to the dunes.
Hit the road back to Windhoek. Upon arrival, enjoy city tour if time allows. Final sunset in Namibia deserving the last toast.
