Big African Journey
"Africa is the second-largest and populous continent! Here the deserts are combined with a unique, thriving ecosystem. We have laid our route through three countries: Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe.
These countries combine colonial past and African essence in an amazing way: monuments of German colonial architecture and traditional clay dwellings, ethnic Europeans, and members of the Himba and Damara tribes.
Our main goal is a combination of comfort, safety, locations, and experiences. We'll see the best of southern Africa: Victoria Falls, the wilds of the Okavango Delta, the hard-to-reach areas of the Namib Desert, and the red dunes. We will see elephants and lions, zebras and leopards, rhinos and roe deer. Drink coffee under the fresh ocean breeze of the Atlantic. Meet the Bushman tribe in the Kalahari Desert."

From Chobe we head to the second nature area, the huge Savuti! Leopards and lions live here.
We'll camp overnight at a campsite overlooking the rock massifs, under majestic trees. And we'll need to clean up our food because opossums will come during the night.

Day 8
Bushmen Village and Groottfontein
Bushmen Village and Groottfontein
Today we go to a Bushmen village. Accustomed to tourists, they remain real, and although they do things a bit on display, they show not a picture, but their daily, challenging reality. We will see their everyday life and the decoration of their houses, understand how Bushmen hunt, and spend a few hours in a bush among those who live a very different life.
In the evening we go to the town of Grootfontein. It is built in the German way: neat and slender, it is striking both in its own style and the view of the sunset mountains. We will stay in a family farmstead with a swimming pool and get ready for the pearl of our trip - Etosha National Park.

Day 9
Etosha National Park.
Etosha National Park.
We are in Etosha National Park, South Africa's most spectacular park. It is famous for its vast territory and abundance of wildlife, and this is where we will meet giraffes, leopards, and lions. We will see and take photos only from the car. Last time a leopard killed a roe deer and made a bloody dinner several meters away from our SUV.
By nightfall, we return behind the fence of the campsite, have dinner and look at the stars from the panoramic tower. If we have enough energy, we'll take a night tour in an open car and see lions under the moon and stars.

Day 10
«Mad Max» and the oldest town
«Mad Max» and the oldest town
We leave Etosha by a long and beautiful route, through the places where the run from "Mad Max" was filmed. From the flat wasteland, we get into the rocky massifs, where it already feels like a desert. For lunch, we stop at the arboretum, where a local family keeps a fantastic cafe and breeds countless cacti.
In the evening we will reach one of Namibia's oldest towns, Swakopmund, which lies on the border of the Namib Desert. We will have a view of the dunes and the Atlantic Ocean in front of us! We will have dinner in a restaurant that was opened in 1905. It is located on the same pier where the first settlers arrived to take part in the Diamond Rush.

Namib desert

Today we will rest in the city. We will go to the serpentarium, where we will see one of the most venomous snakes in the world, the black mamba.
In Swakopmund, the ocean comes ashore, so you can swim in the raging Atlantic.

pWe embark on a majestic expedition on jeeps to the dunes, following the coast for about 80 kilometers. On this route, on a previous expedition, we stumbled upon a human skeleton. Although technically the Skeleton Coast remains 300 kilometers to the south, traces of the past are found here as well. And, of course, wrecked ships are always visible.
You can only drive at low tide, the strip between the Atlantic and the steep dunes is only 15 meters. As we pass this tricky part and climb the dunes, the endless, rugged and alluring Namib stretches out behind us, the raging Atlantic ahead, and somewhere beyond the waves is distant South America. We will ride the dunes, build a fire and watch and photograph the desert as hard as we can, drink red semi-dry among the sands by the fire, and have quiet conversations under the crumbling stars.

Day 12
Namibia National Park
Namibia National Park
We wake up in the desert and go back the same way. We'll stop at the town of Wolfish Bay. It is famous for its flamingo colony. There we have lunch and drive to Namibia National Park. The park is stunning with mountain ranges, statues, majestic views, and canyons, one of which we will drive through.
The final point is a village overlooking red dunes that will rise straight out of the cliffs. The height of the sand mountains here reaches 350 meters. Near these giants, we will spend the night.

Day 13
Sossusvlei Village and the Red Dunes
Sossusvlei Village and the Red Dunes
The main goal of the trip, that everyone goes to Namibia for is the village of Sossosvlei with its red dunes, where we climb the famous Big Mama Dune at sunset. These sandy mountains, with Dead Lake nearby, are among the top 100 locations for photos. And in general, you feel like you are on another planet there.
We will drive through the dunes, see the orange sands and stay overnight at a campsite in the middle of the desert. It's usually crowded, and you can have fascinating conversations with travelers from all over the world.

Day 14
Windhoek
Windhoek
Today we go to Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. On this day we drive, rest, look at different types of cities and get into the local specifics, as we will spend the night in a hotel with armed guards.
In Windhoek we have a farewell dinner. At the delicatessen, we will relive everything, remember, share our impressions, collect inside what we want to take home. We will feel how unique and full of life Africa in general and Namibia in particular is.

Day 15
Goodbye Africa!
Goodbye Africa!
Today we leave for home, usually in the afternoon. We pack our bags and fly home: shaking the sand out of our boots and putting souvenirs on the shelf, revisiting photographs, flaunting our tans, finishing the new experience, dreaming of another sky, and knowing that all the childhood books, adventure movies, and travel stories were our own incredible experience.
