Depart from Cape Town and head for Lamberts Bay, an attractive fishing town located on an unspoilt stretch of coastline. This area is particularly spectacular in spring when masses of wild flowers bloom, turning the entire region into a yellow, red and orange maze.
From here it's to the Fish River Canyon - the second largest in the world and provides an awe inspiring sunrise. After this we head to the Namib National Park and its stunning photographic opportunities, which are available in some of the highest dunes in the world.
Swakopmund is Namibia's premier seaside town after which we journey via granite moonscape that provided a home to the San people for thousands of years. We arrive at the world famous Etosha National Park, ready for our big game safari experience. Waterberg Plateau National Park is renowned for its incredible rock formations and walks. There will be hot African sun, fun packed evenings around the campfire, beautiful countryside, extraordinary tales about nature, and memories for a lifetime!
