Namibia Christmas Escape

Begin this suggested itinerary with an airport transfer to your 4-star accommodation in Windhoek. Settle in before a relaxed introduction to Namibia’s capital, meeting your local guide and preparing for the desert, coast and wildlife journey ahead.

After breakfast, leave Windhoek in your comfortable safari vehicle and travel towards the Sossusvlei region. Watch the landscape open into striking desert scenery, with time to settle into your accommodation before an early start the following morning.

Explore Sossusvlei with your guide, taking in the sculpted sands of Dune 45 and the extraordinary clay pan of Deadvlei. Enjoy the contrast between orange dunes, pale earth and ancient trees, with park fees included.

Continue towards Swakopmund after breakfast, exchanging the desert interior for Namibia’s Atlantic coast. On arrival, enjoy an unhurried introduction to the town’s seaside character and waterfront before settling into your accommodation for a restful coastal evening.

Spend the day discovering Swakopmund and neighbouring Walvis Bay with your guide. Enjoy coastal scenery and time by the water, with the option of a boat cruise. Confirm availability and any additional charge before booking this optional experience.

Travel inland to Damaraland, where rugged mountains and broad, arid landscapes provide a dramatic change of scene. Enjoy the advertised scenic drive with your local guide, looking for wildlife along the way before settling into your next accommodation.

After breakfast, continue through Damaraland towards the Etosha region. Allow time to appreciate the changing scenery and hear about Namibia’s wildlife from your guide. Arrive at your accommodation and prepare for the safari experiences to follow.

Dedicate the day to a guided safari in Etosha National Park, with park fees included. Explore its distinctive landscapes and watch for wildlife around waterholes and open plains. Sightings depend on conditions, making each encounter a genuine discovery.

Enjoy breakfast before beginning the return journey to Windhoek. On arrival, take the included city tour if timings allow, discovering the capital with your guide. Spend your final night reflecting on Namibia’s desert landscapes, Atlantic coast and wildlife.

Have your final breakfast before the included airport transfer, timed to your onward departure. This suggested programme concludes in Windhoek; confirm exact December dates and flight arrangements with Smart Tours & Safaris, as the poster gives conflicting flight information.
