🏁 Tour Itinerary: 7 Days Northern Namibia Luxury Tour
Day 1: Okonjima Nature Reserve – The African Foundation (L, D)

Day 2: Etosha East – Otjikoto Lake (B, L, D)
This morning we have an early start, heading towards the Etosha National Park. We travel via Lake Otjikoto, which is in fact Namibia’s largest permanent natural lake. Enough time here to rest a little and learn something about the history of this unusual landmark. Having arrived in Etosha check into our lodge just outside the gate. We make our first game drive during the cool of the afternoon. The game viewing is usually excellent with close views of springboks, zebras, impalas, giraffes, gemsboks, and plenty of birds. If we are lucky we may also have some close encounters with elephants and lions. Just before sunset we will depart the park and head towards our lodge.
🏚️ Accommodation: Mushara Lodge.
Day 3: Etosha South (B, L, D)
This day we spend most of it watching wildlife. A visit to a number of waterholes is high on the cards and we make a stop at the Etosha Pan, the “place of dry water”. The Pan is an extensive flat depression of about 5,000 km2. This great, white expanse is a place of shimmering mirages, and seeing large herds of game in this setting makes Etosha a unique experience in Africa. We may stop at Halali middle camp to have lunch and relax before we continue to the southern side of the park and our place of stay at Etosha Safari Lodge or similar.
🏚️ Accommodation: Etosha Safari Lodge Gondwana Collection Namibia.
Day 4: Palmwag – Otjikandera Himba Village (B, L, D)

We shall pay a visit to Otjikandera Himba village where we are going to meet the local inhabitants. A special guide is going to be available for the time we are there, the guide is going to translate for us and introduce us to this “tribe”. We are going to learn about marriage customs, traditional food and we will visit the “holy fire”. Later we proceed to Grootberg where we spend the night.
