Namibia & Botswana Family Adventure Northbound Itinerary

Travel to Namibia and explore Windhoek, the colonial-style capital.

Use Sesriem as a base for exploring the incredible Namib Desert region.

Rise early and climb some of the largest sand dunes in the world to watch a stunning golden sunrise. Afterwards, continue to the town of Swakopmund where fun optional activities are aplenty. Try horse riding or perhaps head out on a cruise to spot friendly dolphins at play.

Rising dramatically above the arid desert floor, the isolated granite outcrop at Spitzkoppe is an incredible sight.

Perhaps spot the elusive desert elephant before setting up camp in the Palmwag Desert Oasis.

Embark on a game drive through the salt pans of the Etosha National Park. Spot the silhouettes of black rhinos, springbok, zebras and giraffes against the horizon.

Spend a day tracking and gathering with the San Bushmen. Learn about their culture and way of life during an overnight stay in Grootfontein.

Browse Rundu’s open markets for handicrafts and admire intricate wood carvings.

Accompanied by local guides, jump aboard a mokoro - a dugout canoe - to explore the delta's reed beds and streams filled with animals of all sizes - birdlife, hyenas, antelope and hippos. Stay on a remote island and drift off to sleep to the sounds of the animals making their way through the waterways in the dark.

Camp on an island paradise of flooded plains and swamps, teeming with wildlife and nestled between two national parks.

Witness wildlife galore and try to spot African elephants in an open-jeep safari or relax and unwind on an afternoon cruise along the Chobe River. Keep an eye out for elephants and crocodiles on the water’s edge, and catch a glimpse of fish eagles swooping for prey.

Experience the sheer wonder of Victoria Falls. There are plenty of optional activities on offer at the falls so jump in a canoe, go whitewater rafting or even take a flight to see them from the air. What better way to end this Namibia and Botswana family adventure?
