WHY TOUR NAMIBIA?
DAY 1: Arrival at Windhoek International Airport -> Depart to Kalahari Anib Lodge -> Lunch on own account -> Dinner at Kalahari Anib Lodge ->Overnight at Kalahari Anib Lodge
After arriving in Windhoek, the Capital City of Namibia, you’ll jump into a car and head south towards the Kalahari Anib Lodge. To get there, you and your guide must first drive through the barren roads of the massive Kalahari Desert, which is basically the size of Germany and France combined. You’d be forgiven to think you’re on the set of a Mad Max film because of the miles of desert emptiness. Don’t forget your water! After the 3-hour trek, you can finally drop your bag, take in the tranquility of the savannah, and settle in your room at the Lodge in the middle of nowhere. Take advantage of the picturesque sights, large swimming pool, or delicious cuisine. Don’t forget to try the local wine! Rest for the evening, absorb the stories of the desert, and get one of the quietest night’s sleep as the adventure continues Day 2. Make sure you charge your phones…
DAY 2: Early breakfast and departure to Luderitz -> Lunch on own account -> Luderitz Tour with Guide -> Dinner at a Luderitz Restaurant -> Overnight at Kairos Cottage
An early rise and shine with a continental breakfast at the Lodge will prepare you for the journey ahead. Ready for another desert crossing? This time your destination is the harbor town of Luderitz right where the coast of the Atlantic Ocean meets the massive desert backdrop. Named after a controversial German tobacco merchant, this small coastal town is an excellent example of early European colonial architecture and a hidden past that some historians have connected to WWII. You’ll arrive just in time for lunch, where you can feast on the local delicacies in a neighborhood restaurant. As the expert guide will tour you around the town, you can take lots of photos of the landmarks arising from the desert floor like zombie film. Now your cottage and dinner await you right on the peninsula of Shark Island. The beautiful space of the Kairos Cottage will match the stunning sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean. Be sure to have your cameras ready! Enjoy the rest because the fun doesn’t stop here.
DAY 3: Breakfast at Kairos Cottage -> Guided Kolmanskop Visit -> Lunch on own account -> Depart to BüllsPort Guest farm -> Dinner at BüllsPort Guest farm -> Overnight at BüllsPort Guest farm
Upon waking you can drink a morning tea or coffee on the balcony overlooking the striking view, while your breakfast is being served in the dining room of the Kairos Cottage. After your first meal of the day, there is a quick 15-minute drive towards the once prosperous mining town of Kolmanskop (“Coleman’s Head”). Now an adventurer’s dream, the guided tour tells the stories of this abandoned settlement, and you will also see the sand which is slowly swallowing the buildings in this ghost town. Its spine shivering Urbex exploration at best. Be sure to keep your eye out for a rogue diamond on the ground! After some lunch, you drive 5-hours north through the vast and epic desert, passing the rusted and abandoned cars, iron-rich sands, and the wildlife of Africa, along the way towards the Tropic of Capricorn crossing on the foot of the Naukluft Mountains. The final stop on your voyage, the BüllsPort Lodge & Farm opens their doors and sets their dinner tables for you. Enjoy this working farm and hear more priceless desert stories from the locals on this last night of the tour.
