Monday: Fish River Canyon Dinner
A representative will meet the clients in the Sense of Africa executive departure lounge at Eros airport for a tour debriefing prior to departure. The first leg of the journey takes you from Windhoek across the magnificent Mountain range towards the far south of Namibia. Enjoy the Hardap Dam, the Kalahari Desert, the extinct Brukkaros Volcano and the vast intriguing plains of the south from a bird's-eye view. Our destination is the magnificent boulder-studded plains and hills to the east of the great Fish River Canyon, second largest of its kind in the world. Canon Lodge

Tuesday: Sossusvlei Breakfast, Dinner
A scenic flight takes us over the steep and winding gorges of the Fish River Canyon, over the fascinating landscapes of the pro-Namib to Sesriem, the gateway to the southern Namib Desert and its magnificent dune belts. Sossusvlei Lodge

Wednesday: Swakopmund Breakfast
Excursion to Sossusvlei, a clay pan surrounded by some of the highest sand dunes in the world. Observe the fauna and flora that inhabits this region. A low-level flight takes us to the Atlantic Ocean, across the dune desert to Swakopmund Airport, a short transfer to your hotel. Hansa Hotel

Thursday: Coast/Damaraland Breakfast, Dinner
A transfer takes us to Walvis Bay where we embark on a Marine Cruise. This provides us with a glimpse of Namibia's only deep-sea harbour, encounters with aquatic birds and Cape fur seals, and the opportunity of sighting bottlenose and heavy-side dolphins, the latter a species endemic to the coast of south-western Africa. Namibian oysters, counted amongst the best in the world, canapés and chilled sparkling wine from South Africa as well as soft drinks are served on board during this leisurely cruise. Our charter flight takes us north along the Skeleton Coast, fly over the seal colony at Cape Cross, shipwrecks, the Messum Crater and the riverbeds of Namibia's ephemeral watercourses.
Twyfelfontein Lodge

Friday: Etosha National Park Breakfast
The slopes of Twyfelfontein are strewn with boulders; all dotted with thousands of paintings and ancient engravings, a virtual open-air museum. Our journey continues, cutting across the northern interior of the country to Mokuti, situated at the eastern gate to the Etosha National Park. Mokuti Lodge

Saturday: Etosha Breakfast
The game and birds found here are typical of the savannah plains of Southern Africa, but include several species endemic to the western side of the continent, adjacent to the Namib desert. Among the rarer species, black rhino and white rhino (recently reintroduced) are frequently seen. Black-faced Impala are restricted to Namibia and southern Angola and the Damara dik-dik; the Parks smallest antelope is also endemic. Hundreds of bird species have been recorded, with many migrants during the summer period. Participate in an early morning and afternoon guided game drive into the Etosha National Park. Mokuti Lodge

After a leisurely breakfast we board our aircraft for the final flight back to Windhoek. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel from the Eros Airport.
