Day 2: Etosha - Okaukuejo
After breakfast at the lodge we travel via Otjowarongo to the Etosha National Park. We camp at the Okaukuejo rest camp. Before setting up camp we have time for a game-drive in the area of Okaukuejo. Later in the evening we go to the flood-lit waterhole which borders the camp, here you can sit back and relax while the animals come to drink until deep into the night. (±450 km)
Day 3: Hobatere

Day 4: Epupa Falls
We leave early in the morning and travel north via Opuwa, where we stock up on fuel etc., to Epupa Falls. We will attend to the off road driving abilities of your vehicle and yourself as and when we get to the different “obstacles” en-route. We set up camp on the banks of the Kunene River under the palm trees. (±340 km)
Day 5: Epupa Falls
Stay at Epupa and visit the Falls and surrounding area, also a visit to a Traditional Himba village is on the program today.
Kaokoveld
Located in the far north-west, Kaokoland is one of the particularly untouched regions in Namibia. The almost inaccessible area south of the Kunene river is the home of the Himba ethnic group, who have kept their ethnic individuality and culture in the seclusion of Kaokoland. Traveling through this region is only possible under expedition-like conditions in off-road vehicles and, furthermore, should only be done under the leadership of an experienced guide. Tracks are hardly signposted, corrugated and extremely stony or sandy.
Day 6: Van Zyl's Pass
We backtrack to Okangwati and head for Otjitanda. The total distance is only 140 km. But we will most probably take most of the day to get there, depending on the road conditions. We overnight in the wild close to the top of the Van Zyl's Pass. (±140 km)
Day 7: Van Zyl's Pass
Today we travel down the steep Van Zyl’s pass with its beautiful views of the plains and the Marienfluss. We will arrive in Otjinhungwe at the Kunene River before nightfall to set up camp on the banks of the Kunene River. (±90 km)
Day 8: Puros
We leave early to travel south-east through the Marienfluss for about 50 km. We turn south to Puros on the Hoarusib River, where we overnight at the campsite next to the Riverbed.
On our travels through the Kaokoveld we will have the time to meet the Famous Himba people and the Herero. The Himba like the Masai of East Africa are probably the most striking looking people in Africa. Especially in the remote areas we are visiting, the Himba women are still dressed in their traditional dress. The Desert Elephant and the Black Rhino roam freely in the areas we travel through, as well as other game species such as the Damara dik-dik, blackfaced impala, gemsbok, etc. (±230 km)
