Detailed itinerary
Day 1
8.4.2026
1 night at a relaxing lodge located near Windhoek.
Gocheganas Lodge
inclusive:
- Dinner, bed and breakfast
- In the afternoon, a scenic game drive awaits, offering the chance to observe a variety of antelope species and other wildlife – and, with a bit of luck, rhinoceroses in their natural habitat.
The colourful acacia savannah of the Khomas Highlands
After a long flight, it’s all about arriving, unwinding, and soaking up the first rays of African sun.
Upon your arrival at Windhoek International Airport, we’ll meet you and take you on a short orientation tour through Namibia’s capital. Along the way, you’ll discover a blend of old and new – from historic colonial landmarks such as the Christ Church, the Ink Palace, and the Alte Feste, to the modern cityscape of today’s Windhoek.
As you stroll through town, you’ll witness the vibrant interaction of Namibia’s many cultures. There will also be an opportunity to exchange currency and pick up a few essentials.
The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy – whether on a gentle walk, a short hike, or simply relaxing by the pool. For those who wish, there is also the option of joining an afternoon game drive, where you may be lucky enough to spot your first wildlife.

Day 2
9.4.2026
1 overnight stay
At this charmingly rustic yet characterful lodge, you’ll be comfortably accommodated in your own private bungalow. We’ve chosen this lodge because of its thoughtful, low-impact design: rather than cutting down trees, the buildings were carefully constructed around them – a quiet gesture of respect for nature that’s a true delight.
inclusive:
- Dinner, Bed and Breakfast
- 1 x Game drive through the linear dunes, where you’ll encounter not only beautiful landscapes and a variety of birdlife, but also a number of wildlife species adapted to this unique habitat.
Linear Dunes of the Kalahari
This morning walk is designed to open your eyes to the small wonders of the Kalahari – its birds, its delicate ecosystems, and the beauty hidden in plain sight. The soft morning light filtering through camelthorn acacias over red dune sand creates a photographer’s dream.
As you stroll across the dunes, keep an eye out for ground squirrels, admire the enormous communal nests of sociable weavers in ancient camelthorn trees, and scan the branches for the elusive pygmy falcon.
– With a bit of luck, you might even spot a Cape cobra, known to raid the nests of these communal birds.
In the afternoon, a game drive will take you into the dune valleys, where you’ll have the chance to observe various antelope species and giraffes moving gracefully through this unique desert landscape.

2 overnight stays east of the canyon at a well-appointed lodge, beautifully nestled within the surrounding landscape and offering excellent opportunities for walking and exploration.
- Canyon Lodge
inclusive:
- Dinner, Bed and Breakfast
Quiver Trees in the “Giant’s Playground” – A Landscape of Stone and Silence
Today, you’ll explore the Giant’s Playground, a surreal landscape also known as the “Wart Field”. Here, solitude, vast open skies and bizarre dolerite rock formations shape not only the scenery, but also the lives of those who call this place home.
You’ll have ample time to photograph the iconic quiver trees nestled among the ancient boulders, and to delight in sightings of rock agamas and the ever-curious rock hyraxes as they bask in the sun.
-
- Köcherbaumwald Bei !Garas
Fishriver Canyon
The Fish River Canyon is nothing short of overwhelming – both geologically and scenically. Its striking rock formations, dramatic erosion valleys and sheer depth leave a lasting impression. Long ago, this breathtaking canyon already drew early explorers to what can only be described as a monumental natural wonder.
The flora of this semi-desert landscape is just as captivating: deep-red aloes, strikingly beautiful yet highly toxic euphorbias, brilliantly camouflaged stone grasshoppers, and extraordinary light that brings every texture to life.
One young boy, when asked for directions to the canyon, once said,
“Something terrible must have happened to the Earth here, a long time ago.”
And indeed – it’s a place that stirs the imagination.
Several viewpoints are easily accessible by vehicle, and we’ll take the time to walk along the canyon’s edge, where we’ll introduce you to the local wildlife and plants – from klipspringers, rock hyraxes and Verreaux’s eagles, to mountain zebras and agamas sunning themselves on the rocks.

Day 5
12.4.2026
1 overnight stay in a beautifully secluded and highly individual lodge, nestled among striking granite formations. The views from the bungalows are simply magnificent.
- Klein Aus Vista Lodge @ Eagle’s Nest on the escarpment of the Namib Desert
inclusive:
- Dinner, Bed and Breakfast
Along the way, we visit the…
Wild Horses of the Namib Desert
The origin of the wild horses roaming the Namib Desert remains a topic of debate. Credible research suggests they may have descended from German and Boer horses left behind during the unsettled years of the First World War.
Whether or not these horses “belong” in the desert is a question best left to ecologists – but there’s no denying the thrill of watching them move freely across the arid plains.
And who knows? You might just capture that perfect shot of two stallions locked in a dramatic display of strength.
Rare Succulents, Wild Horses & Striking Desert Landscapes
On this leg of the journey, the road itself becomes the destination. Travelling along the Orange River, we’ll be on the lookout for one of the rarest plant species in the world. Legend has it that fugitives from ancient times were turned into plants – and thus was born the biblical tale behind the “Half-Man”, Pachypodium namaquanum, a strange succulent that always turns its “head” to the north.
This seemingly lifeless metamorphic rock desert holds far more than meets the eye: stunning scenery, secretive small creatures, fascinating birdlife – and several other species of quiver trees, which we’ll be glad to introduce you to.
The lush green vegetation along the banks of the Orange River stands in vivid contrast to the arid stone desert – a beautiful reminder of nature’s extremes.

Days 6 & 7
13 & 14.4.2026
1 overnight stay at a quality lodge located within the Namib-Naukluft Park.
Thanks to the exclusive location, we’re granted special access to the dunes before sunrise and after sunset – a priceless advantage for landscape photographers and anyone seeking a truly undisturbed desert experience!1 overnight stay beautifully set amidst a mesmerising interplay of living dunes, ancient fossilised sandscapes, linear desert oases, and the wide gravel plains of the Namib.
- Namib Dune Star Camp
inclusive:
Dinner, Bed and Breakfast
Dune landscapes at Sossusvlei, the Sesriem Canyon, and stunning desert vistas
A Landscape of Dunes in Gentle Morning Light – and the Highest of Their Kind
The Tsauchab dry river was once on its way to the ocean, but its path was blocked by shifting dunes. The result: the creation of Sossusvlei, a sun-baked clay pan surrounded by towering red crescent and star-shaped dunes. Framed by ancient camelthorn trees and the spiky green !Nara plants, it’s one of Namibia’s most iconic landscapes.
Since we stay inside Namib-Naukluft National Park, we depart before sunrise and reach the dunes in the soft light of dawn – well before the crowds arrive. It’s the perfect time for quiet reflection, incredible photography, and an unforgettable connection with the desert. Those who climb are rewarded with a breathtaking view.
Nearby lies another geological marvel: the Sesriem Canyon, carved by the Tsauchab River over millennia. Ox-wagon drivers once used six rawhide thongs tied together – “ses rieme” – to fetch water from its depths. A short walk into the canyon reveals its beauty and history.
Beneath the modern dune landscape lies a much older one – fossilised dunes glowing in vivid orange. Combined with endless grass plains, camelthorn gallery forests, dolomitic ridges and Namibia’s majestic dune seas, this region offers an extraordinary visual tapestry.
And we’ll be there to explore it with you.

Days 8 & 9
15 & 16.4.2026
2 nights in a stylish, intimate guesthouse in a quiet part of Swakopmund – just a short walk from the beach and town centre. Spacious rooms with private terraces and warm, personalised service.
inclusive:
- Bed and Breakfast
not included:
- Dinner Swakopmund offers a variety of excellent restaurants, and we’ll be happy to advise you and make a reservation on your behalf. Many establishments serve fresh fish and delicious seafood daily – but if you’re in the mood for something heartier, you’ll also find a proper, well-prepared pork roast on the menu.
Activities in and around Swakopmund
The town of Walvis Bay, just 30 km south of Swakopmund, makes for a rewarding day trip. Its 11,000-hectare lagoon, a designated World Nature Heritage Site, is home to tens of thousands of seabirds, seals, dolphins – and, on occasion, even whales or sunfish (Mola mola), delighting all who visit.
- A particularly pleasant and slightly extravagant way to explore the lagoon is by boat – where fresh oysters and sparkling wine are served as you cruise among seals and birds.
- For those who prefer a more immersive experience, a kayak tour allows you to get up close and personal with the seals in an unforgettable way.
- Back in Swakopmund, we recommend a guided city walk with a true Swakopmunder – discover the truths, stories and secrets behind this curious little coastal town.
- Scenic flights over the dunes and desert landscapes of the Namib are also available – we suggest the 2 to 2.5-hour route for the most impressive views.
- If you’re curious about desert wildlife, a cleverly guided dune drive in search of the “Little Five” offers a fascinating look at the desert’s smallest (and often most elusive) inhabitants.
- And for those craving something active but fun: join Swakop Fatbike Tours and ride through the breathtaking dune landscape on wide-tyred fatbikes – surprisingly easy, wonderfully refreshing, and an experience to remember!
The road to Swakopmund…oldest desert to the majestic Atlantic Ocean…
The vast gravel plains of the Namib stretch out before us, occasionally interrupted by distant mountain peaks or a shimmering horizon. Along long, straight roads – sometimes trailing a faint dust cloud – we venture far from the main routes to explore sculpted granite landscapes, ancient erosion valleys, and dry riverbeds.
This almost eerily silent environment is surprisingly full of life: giraffes, zebras, and antelope often appear – and with a bit of luck, even cheetahs may cross our path.
On foot, we visit the secluded cave once used by two geologists whose story is told in the book “Wenn es Krieg gibt, gehen wir in die Wüste” (“If War Comes, We’ll Go to the Desert”) – so be sure to have your walking shoes ready.
Along the way, we’ll introduce you to the world-famous Welwitschia mirabilis, some over 1,500 years old, as well as ancient lichen fields and the dramatic Swakop dry river valley, also known as the “Moon Landscape” for its otherworldly terrain.
Our journey leads us to Swakopmund, a charming coastal town that invites relaxed strolling, sunbathing (weather permitting), and visits to both modern and colonial landmarks. Cosy cafés, local coffee roasters, a renowned gin distillery, vibrant art galleries, and an unmistakably laid-back atmosphere often tempt visitors to linger longer than planned.
Swakopmund also boasts Namibia’s best privately run museum, an oceanarium, a crystal gallery, and the picturesque bathing bay known as the Mole.

Day 10
17.4.2026
- 1 overnight stay at a stunning lodge with magnificent views of the towering Hohenstein mountain in the Erongo region.
- Hohenstein Lodge
inclusive:
- Dinner, Bed and Breakfast
Visit to the San Living Museum, including a short and insightful walk with San guides to ancient rock paintings.
Spitzkoppe & the mighty Erongo
Even from a distance, Namibia’s best-known “inselberg”, the Spitzkoppe, stands out like a natural monument, protruding from the flat gravel surface of the Namib.
San Bushmen, or so we all like to believe, have painted clearly visible scenarios of hunting and wildlife on the smooth granite walls. The landscape looks like a fairytale and offers wonderful photographic opportunities.
The gigantic granite spheres of the Erongo are impressive, as the visitor feels literally “dwarfed” between the towering rock faces of these bulbous magma mountains. Some legendary rock paintings, semi-endemic bird species and a remarkable semi-desert flora await the hiker or walker here..
Bushman Walk: Here we meet authentic Bushmen who will be happy to open your eyes to their world on a short walk. You will learn how they set traps, use herbal remedies and go hunting with poisoned arrows. You will also see how a fire can easily be lit in this great semi-desert and how pretty jewellery can be made from ostrich eggs and colourful seeds.

Why choose a safari with us?
Our Land Cruisers have been specially modified for wildlife observation, providing spacious window seats. Additionally, the rooftop can be opened at watering holes, allowing you to comfortably take photographs while sitting or standing
Etosha National Park
Etosha National Park is one of the most wildlife-rich parks in Africa, despite its arid nature. The 4,000 km² salt and clay pan in the southern part of the park feeds natural springs that attract large numbers of animals, especially during the dry and hot seasons.
The park is divided into distinct vegetation zones: central Etosha features acacia savannah, the middle region is dominated by dense mopane woodland, and the eastern part transitions into dry forest – each zone home to a different variety of wildlife.
As you travel through the park, you’ll have the chance to observe a wide range of animals, including elephants and big cats. Early mornings and a bit of patience are often rewarded with remarkable sightings.
We’ve planned two overnight stays in the eastern part of the park, where the denser vegetation and numerous water sources support a particularly high concentration of wildlife. Your chances of seeing lions, Damara dik-diks, blue cranes, and even rhinos are especially good here.

Optional detour with early departure:
The Tsumeb Museum houses an exceptional collection of large, naturally formed and highly valuable crystals, along with artefacts from the First World War, including historic cannons.
Not far from here, hidden in the bush, lies another marvel: the Hoba meteorite, the largest known intact meteorite on Earth.
Today’s destination:
You’ll arrive at the home of the AfriCat Foundation, an organisation dedicated to the conservation and research of Africa’s wild cats, with a focus on cheetahs and leopards. Significant time, energy and passion are invested here in understanding and protecting these magnificent predators.
A guided game drive in an open 4×4 vehicle, led by local experts and rangers, offers an excellent chance of observing wild leopards – with sightings being almost guaranteed. Cheetahs and even the elusive brown hyena are also commonly seen.
Photographers are well catered for on these drives, with plenty of time and consideration given to positioning and lighting. Guided walks and drives provide deeper insight into the local ecosystem, conservation work, and the daily operations of this exceptional wildlife project.

Day 16
23.4.2026
Would you like to fly today or tomorrow?!
Many of your guests opt to combine the final leg of their journey with the airport transfer and check-in during the afternoon. However, recognizing that some prefer to explore the city further or minimize the last-day stress, you arrange an extra night in Windhoek or a stylish accommodation near the airport upon request.
Namibia boasts excellent connectivity, with various airlines departing from either Windhoek, the capital, or Walvis Bay, providing flexibility for your travel preferences.
Additionally, some guests choose to enhance their experience with an added component, such as a fly-in to the Caprivi, a visit to the Okavango Delta, or a few days in Cape Town. The choice is entirely yours, and you’re here to accommodate your preferences.
a sad farewell…
The final travel day unfolds efficiently, allowing time—if desired—for a last stroll through the capital to pick up handcrafted Namibian souvenirs or to enjoy one final game steak with a cold local beer.
As most international flights to Europe depart in the afternoon, late afternoon or overnight, we recommend spending your final night just outside Windhoek. This allows you to unwind at the end of your journey, while still reaching the airport with plenty of time and no rush.
In the afternoon, we will either take you directly to the airport, or to a recommended lodge, from where we will arrange a reliable transfer to your departing flight.
Inclusions:
- Transport in a custom-built, off-road-capable Toyota Land Cruiser (4x4) with a pop-up roof – perfect for photography and wildlife viewing
- Transfers as outlined in the itinerary.
- Guaranteed window or single seat for each participant.
- Accommodation and meals as specified in the itinerary.

We are happy to answer frequently asked questions in advance
Is the time of year suitable?
Why April is an ideal time for landscape photography in Namibia:
Following the summer rains, Namibia reveals its most colourful side in April: fresh greenery, blooming plants and crisp, clear air create perfect conditions for atmospheric photography. The contrast between red sand, blue skies and vibrant bushland is especially striking – and the soft light of morning and evening makes the landscape glow.
Why Booking Flights Through a Travel Agent Still Makes Sense in the Digital Age
In a time when flight bookings are just a few clicks away, it may seem old-fashioned to involve a travel agent. But when it comes to navigating the ever-changing world of air travel—delays, reroutes, strikes, cancellations, and the charming surprise of “you no longer have a seat”—working with a real human still has very real advantages when unexpected challenges arise, such as:
Delays and last-minute flight changes
Strikes or changes made by the airline
Seat changes without prior notification
The need to rebook during your trip
Especially in those moments—just imagine being on safari while these changes occur—it is incredibly helpful to have a reliable contact person who handles everything quickly and professionally.
Our Recommendation:
Even if booking flights through a travel agency may seem slightly more expensive, it is absolutely worth the investment. The service, support, and peace of mind it provides, particularly in problematic situations, are priceless.
We’ve had consistently excellent experiences with the following agencies – they are professional, fast, and reliable.
Important:
Please make sure to always mention that you are booking through Leaflove Safari / Albert Voigts.
This is the only way we can ensure that all flight times are accurately recorded and that we can coordinate with the agents to perfectly align the itinerary with your travel plans – e.g. for organizing transfers, airport greetings, or handling last-minute changes.
