Trip Highlights

Windhoek, Namibia

Weinberg Boutique Hotel

Day 1: Arrival in Windhoek
Touch down at Hosea Kutako International Airport. Transfer to the Am Weinberg Boutique Hotel and take the rest of the day to relax. Enjoy a leisurely dinner at one of Windhoek's top restaurants—maybe sprinkle in a local beer, just for fun.

Sossusvlei, Namibia

Sossusvlei Desert Lodge

Day 2: Windhoek to Sossusvlei
Drive from Windhoek to Sossusvlei (approximately 3 hours). Check in at the luxurious Sossusvlei Desert Lodge. Spend the afternoon soaking in the desert landscapes from the lodge's view deck.

Day 3: Dunes of Sossusvlei
Wake up early for a guided tour of the famous red dunes and Deadvlei. Climb Big Daddy for those epic views. Or, if "climb" sounds too much like work, stick to ground level and enjoy the vistas. Return to the lodge for a relaxing evening.

Swakopmund, Namibia

Day 4: Sossusvlei to Swakopmund
Depart for Swakopmund, a scenic 3-hour drive away. Check in at The Strand Hotel, right on the beachfront. Spend the afternoon exploring the town's unique blend of German colonial architecture and charming shops.

Day 5: Adventures in Swakopmund
Your choice: quad biking, sandboarding, or perhaps a more sedate dolphin cruise. Wrap up the day with a gourmet seafood dinner with ocean views. After all, it's the coast—seafood's practically required eating.

Walvis Bay, Namibia

Day 6: Departure from Walvis Bay
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast with one last ocean view. Transfer to Walvis Bay Airport for your return journey. Reflect on a trip that fit both adventure and relaxation into six short days.
