1 of 14
This is an illustrative route, rather than a fixed itinerary. The final route, stays and experiences are shaped around your dates and priorities.
This is a road trip. It needs enough nights to make the long drives worthwhile. Use Sossusvlei for Dune 45 and Deadvlei, Swakopmund or Walvis Bay for the coast, then Etosha for waterholes and game drives. Build in rest stops and do not overfill the route. Road conditions, driving times and wildlife sightings vary and are checked when planning.
What this journey makes room for
- ◆Dune 45 and Deadvlei at Sossusvlei
- ◆Walvis Bay or Swakopmund coast time
