Detailed Itinerary
1 Arrive Windhoek, Namibia

Offering a stunning contrast to most African safari destinations, Namibia is a world unto itself. Windhoek, its capital, with its mix of German and local ancestry and renowned arts scene, rocks to its own beat as well. Once here, drive out to your luxury lodge and take a sunset safari drive, followed by a refreshing cocktail and welcome dinner.
