Marvel mountains, waterfalls, fjords and mind-blowing landscapes
Only with a top view from the window!
People united by a common idea - to explore and discover hidden gems of our world and enjoy every moment of it.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the views through the window. Our cars will take you the most beautiful places.
To experience the magic of Namibia means to open a completely different world, a strange and beautiful place, unlike anything you’ve ever seen or could imagine. It’s a place of contrasts, where rare, arid, inhospitable, and alien landscapes somehow
support an incredible diversity of wildlife and a series of captivating cultures. It’s a place seemingly of endless horizons and perhaps the largest sky you’ve ever seen. It’s an almost untouched place with a population of just over two million. It’s a place
of incredible geological and ecological diversity with a rich natural and human history. Majestic Sossusvlei dunes tower above you like burnt orange waves, an abundance of wildlife congregates around waterholes at the edges of the vast expanse of Etosha Park, resembling a lunar landscape. Ancient rock art tells tales of times past against the dramatic backdrop of Damaraland landscapes, lush and wildlife-rich national parks that blend with safari adventures in the Zambezi region.
Namibia’s wild areas are where you can truly feel the grandeur of the outdoors. A fantastic journey and a true immersion into South African life await you. This time we’ll be sleeping in rooftop tents atop our jeeps at official campsites equipped with all necessary amenities and a couple of nights in comfortable hotels.
We won’t live in tents, but in comfortable houses where you can relax and recharge after a long busy day. We will travel exclusively in 4×4 cars, which will take us to the most inaccessible places. It will be a real road trip, where we will discover new locations, get to know ourselves, and enjoy every moment during the trip. It’s a great feeling of freedom to be able to stop wherever you want during your travels. Make top photoshoots and shoot unreal road movies of your life. This trip, like all others – is perfectly planned. But we always leave a spare of freedom, a bit of unpredictability and adventure. We will visit the best and most top locations, as well as secret ones that few people know about.
Let us tell you shortly what awaits you on this journey and to keep the intrigue I won’t reveal all the places you will see so that you do not have any expectations. So your emotions are going to be more sincere. However, you can be sure that real mind-blowing awaits you because we will visit super popular locations and those that tourists have not heard about, which will add a nice vibe to our trip.
The route and program may change during the trip, depending on road or weather conditions and various circumstances that may arise during the trip.
Meet at Frankfurt Airport, departing in the evening at 20:15.
Departure is also possible from Vienna or other locations with flights to Namibia.
After arriving at Windhoek International Airport, we’ll arrange the cars, check camping gear, and head to the hotel. Depending on the arrival time,
we’ll either have time for a city walk or have dinner and rest after the long flight.
After breakfast, we’ll visit a supermarket to stock up on food
supplies. Then, we leave Windhoek and head southwest through the Khomas
Highlands towards the Namib Desert. Passing through picturesque landscapes,
we’ll finally reach our camping spot for the next two nights near Sesriem. Setting
up tents, unpacking camping gear, and relaxing after the long journey. Enjoying
the scenic views of the desert and ending the day with a delicious dinner.
Let’s try to start the day as early as possible to witness the morning
sun creating fantastic shadows on the vast dunes of Sossusvlei. The park gates open at sunrise. We’ll ascend one of the famous dunes like Dune 45 or Big Daddy. The sea of sand around us will take your breath away. We’ll also visit
Deadvlei is a highly photogenic site of ancient dead trees. Later, we’ll head to the Sesriem Canyon, where we can also go for short hikes. After an adventurous day
of exploration, we’ll leave the park in the latter part of the day and return to the camp.
Today’s journey along gravel roads will take us to the coastal town of Swakopmund, where we can discover beautiful colonial architectural landmarks. Swakopmund is also a hub for
adventure activities in this region – dolphin cruises in Walvis Bay,
a day trip to the desert, and a visit to the seal colony at Cape Cross. We’ll spend two nights here.
An early wake-up and departure from the town of Walvis
Bay. Here, we’ll switch to kayaks and head towards Pelican Point
to take selfies with seals that might jump right into your kayaks!
We’ll also witness flocks of pelicans and dolphins. Returning to the port, we’ll switch to local jeeps and, along with driver-guides, head to Sandwich Harbor. This place is unique as the ocean meets sand dunes. We’ll drive along the coastline, “fly” on the dunes, have a meal overlooking the ocean, and return to the town.
After breakfast, we leave Swakopmund and journey
deeper into the country. We’ll see Spitzkoppe, one of Namibia’s
most recognizable landmarks. We’ll go for a walk and explore the
magnificent granite rock formations. Today’s destination will be camping in the Erongo Mountains. Lean back and enjoy the warm atmosphere around you.
After breakfast, we’ll visit a living museum to acquaint ourselves with the culture and life of the Damara tribe. Following this, we’ll move to the Twyfelfontein valley to see ancient rock paintings by the Bushmen. In the latter part of
the day, we’ll embark on a quest to find local endemics – desert elephants. Unlike their counterparts, these elephants
have adapted to survive in desert conditions. By consuming
moisture from plants that grow in riverbeds, they can go up to
five days without drinking water. Returning to the camp, we’ll
relax by the crackling fire.
After breakfast, we head to Etosha National Park, one of Namibia’s largest national parks. It’s situated on the northwestern edge of the Kalahari Desert in the area occupied by the Etosha salt pan and surrounding savannas. We’ll settle into the campsite, set up tents, unpack our gear, and relax
after the long journey. We’ll need plenty of energy tomorrow
as we’ll spend the entire day on safari. During these days,
we’ll spend most of our time observing waterholes where
elephants, giraffes, various antelope species, and birds come
to drink. If we’re lucky, we might even spot lions and rhinos.
Today, we’ll continue traveling south towards Windhoek. Along the way, we’ll want to stop at the craft market in Okahandja. Here, we can haggle for wood carvings, beaded jewelry, baskets, and other handicrafts. We’ll settle in and relax at a comfortable hotel after a busy schedule, and in the evening, we’ll gather for a farewell dinner at a local restaurant.
Today marks our final morning here, a time we can spend in the city. Depending on everyone’s flight schedules, we’ll head to the airport to catch our flights back home.
Thus ends our African adventure, but the memories of this
unforgettable time will stay with us forever.
