Jeff’s Drive Through Southern Namibia
This scenic self drive gives you all of the highlights of southern Namibia. My ground team will provide the vehicle with ground support, GPS, and directions to make the drive easy. The roads are good in Namibia and most destinations will take 4-5 hours of driving to reach.
Accommodation: Galton House – 1nt
Arrive in Windhoek. Check into a charming guesthouse on arrival to relax from your flight and get oriented with your vehicle and map.
Accommodation: Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge or Kalahari Anib Lodge – 1 nt
The open Kalahari desert is a half way point between Windhoek and Fish River to give you a break from the drive.
Accommodation: Fish River Lodge – 2nt
Spend a couple of nights at the world’s second largest canyon. Guided hikes available for all fitness levels.
Accommodation: Lüderitz Nest Hotel – 2nt
Turn back north towards the coastal dunes and stop at Lüderitz. This will break up the drive and an extra night will give you time to visit the famous ghost town of Kolmanskop.
Accommodation: Wolwedans Dunes Camp – 3nt (1 night free)
Wolwedans Dune camp is one of the best lodges in Namibia and will be the highlight of the trip. There are many activities on offer to explore the dunes from guided bushman walks, village visits, stargazing, and game drives to look for desert wildlife.
Accommodation: Camp Sossus – 2nt
North of NamibRand are the massive dunes of Sossusvlei. Spend a couple of nights at Camp Sossus to climb the dunes.
Accommodation: Brigadoon Guesthouse – 2nt
End your trip at Swakopmund on the coast. This is also one of the best places to take a charter flight over the Namib desert to see the extent of the dunes. It makes an excellent finale to the trip on your last sunset.
Drop off your vehicle and take the direct flight from nearby Walvis Bay to Cape Town on the 20th.
