    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Windhoek

  • Day 2 Day 2: Windhoek - Mariental
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Windhoek - Mariental

      You drive south into the red dune landscape of the Kalahari Desert, the largest desert on earth. The Bushmen call it the "soul of the world". South of Rehoboth you cross the Tropic of Capricorn and reach your ranch via Kalkrand. 2 nights in the Kalahari Anib Lodge (middle class) in Mariental. Approx. 260 km (breakfast).

  • Day 3 Day 3: Kalahari
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Kalahari

      After a leisurely breakfast, get to know the beautiful landscape of the Kalahari better. On a nature drive or a guided hike (both optional) you will encounter small and large inhabitants of the desert. The ranch grounds are also home to many tame animals, including cats, aardvarks and small antelopes. Relax in the garden in the afternoon and watch your children splashing happily in the pool. (Breakfast).

  • Day 4 Day 4: Mariental - Sossusvlei
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Mariental - Sossusvlei

      The next stunning desert awaits you today: the Namib, the oldest desert in the world.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Sossusvlei

      Visit the highest and largest sandpit in the world in Sossusvlei today and tomorrow. Marvel at the large sand dunes, take off your shoes and feel the soft sand under your feet. Climb the mighty dunes and let yourself fall into the soft sand. The clay soil of the Dead Vlei stands in contrast to this - as do the petrified trees that make the Dead Vlei one of the most photographed places in Namibia. You can also visit the approx. 35 m deep Sesriem Canyon, which was carved into the soft rock by the Tsauch River. (Breakfast).

  • Day 6 Day 6: Sossusvlei - Swakopmund

      Swakopmund and its surroundings are waiting to be discovered by you. Take advantage of the optional activities on offer locally, such as dune sliding or motorcycling for children. Our tip is an exciting boat trip: seals come on board and want to be fed, while pelicans fly alongside the boat waiting to catch a tasty morsel. To round off the trip, enjoy Walvis Bay oysters, snacks, sparkling wine and refreshing drinks on board. Back in Swakopmund, you can make a detour to the beach promenade and let off steam with your children on the beach. (Breakfast).

      You cross the park from west to east on game drives in your rental vehicle and reach your family-friendly camp outside the park in the afternoon. Etosha means "great white place of dry water". This refers to the huge salt pan that lies in the middle of the national park. You will drive across the vast, seemingly endless plain and encounter wild animals. Often it is not so easy to spot the animals, so keep your eyes open - lowen often sleep in the shade of the trees and although giraffes and elephants are so big, an untrained eye only sees them when they are almost in front of you! 2 nights at Mushara Bush Camp (middle class). Approx. 190 km (breakfast, dinner).

  • Day 11 Day 11: Etosha National Park

The bush with its varied nature and breathtaking wildlife offers countless photo opportunities. The lodge offers optional game drives in an open game drive vehicle. You can also relax in the pool or observe numerous animals such as sable antelopes, black springboks and nyalas, which migrate to the waterhole before your eyes.
