Namibia

Heading west, we  now cross into

Namibia and travel to Etosha National Park, recognised as one of the world's greatest wildlife viewing areas and where we can game  watch by night at one of the floodlit watering holes as well as go several game drives, hoping to spot some of the many and varied wildlife from  elephant, giraffe and zebra to rhino and leopard.

Sun, Sand and Seals!

From Etosha we visit a local Cheetah Park before continuing on to the Brandenberg Mountains in Demaraland and the Skeleton Coast. We visit the world famous Cape Cross Seal Colony where thousands of these mammals - and their accompanying odour pervade the coastline, beforemaking our way to Swakopmund where we spend three days. You now have the choice of a load of activities to indulge in, including quad biking, dune sledding, deep sea fishing, skydiving, horse riding or a Desert flight.

A one day drive takes us to the Namib-Naukluft Park, a vast expanse of desert which contains some of the highest sand dunes in the world.

At

Sossusvlei we have a chance to explore this vast sand desert. We are also lucky enough to experience either sunrise or sunset from atop Dune 45.

Continuing south we enter the semi-desert, until we arrive at one of Africa's most sensational natural features,

Fish River Canyon. We camp next to this massive gorge, where you can hike along the canyon rim and soak up the sun and fabulous scenery.
