Day 1: Arrive at the Windhoek International Airport, check through customs and immigrations and continue through to the arrival hall, where a representative will meet you and transfer you to Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia. Check in to the hotel and free time during the day.

Day 2: Check out of the hotel and start your Classic Namibia Adventure tour. Frans Indongo Lodge is situated in the proximity of Waterberg Plateau, 44km from Otjiwarongo. This is the ideal stopover for the weary traveller between Etosha and Windhoek.
The 170 km² game farm boasts an abundance of game, including white and black rhino, black wildebeest and hartebeest. For active holidaymakers we have laid out trails which meander through the bush savannah and lead onto a hill with a magnificent look-out point.
The lodge complex is modelled on traditional Ovambo homesteads: palisades of tall pointed stakes embrace the lodge and convey a feeling of the warmth and security of home right in the middle of the African bush. Inside the complex a palisade separates the restaurant and swimming pool area from the guest chalets and thereby provides more privacy. A variety of beautiful building materials like natural stone, wood and reed were used for the houses. Items of daily use in Ovambo - earthen pots, voluminous storage baskets or original wooden figures - serve as decoration to emphasize the African theme, and lend a very special charm to the lodge. The luxurious character of the Frans Indongo Lodge is complemented by the interior decoration and colour scheme of the six double rooms and the six generously proportioned chalets. All the rooms have their own bathroom, air-conditioner, fridge, hairdryer, telephone, TV and an electric kettle for tea and coffee.
The lush green garden attracts the Shaft-tailed Whydah, the strikingly coloured Crimson-breasted Shrike, the Pied Barbet and many other birds. At sun set retreat to the large wooden veranda at the bar or the little observation tower. Both are fabulous places for savouring the enchanting hour of dusk - and keeping an eye on the water hole which is illuminated at night. The rare nyala, black springbok and white blesbok, sable and roan antelope regularly put in an appearance.

Day 3 & Day 4: After breakfast depart to the Eastern entrance of the Etosha National Park. At Onguma Bush Camp accommodation consists of 6 en-suite air-conditioned luxury bungalows, and 1 family room. Bush Camp is ideal for families who would like to have a base from which they can explore Etosha National Park. Dinner is served in the open lapa area where you will be treated to an excellent combination of European and traditional African cuisine sitting around an open fire under the Namibian sky. The Onguma Reserve covers an area of 20 000ha and incorporates ecological substrata such as savannah, bushveld, omuramba and dry pan. Age-old and well-worn migration routes, once used by elephant and buffalo wander through Onguma’s three dry riverbeds. Onguma Reserve boasts over thirty different animal species. Plains game roam freely and predators although not easy to spot are nevertheless common residents of the area. Onguma also became part of an innovative custodianship project relating to the black rhino. Six black rhino were darted in Etosha National Park and shipped to the reserve. Here they are protected and monitored. The joyful news is that the first calf was born on Onguma in October 2002. More than 300 bird species can be viewed at Onguma. The reserve boasts the biggest breeding colony of white-backed vultures in Namibia. During the summer months Onguma becomes a bird-watchers paradise with thousands of species migrating to wetlands created by the seasonal rains and ephemeral river systems. This part of Namibia has been identified as one of the key bird watching sites in Southern Africa.

Day 5: Enjoy another full day of game viewing inside the Etosha National Park. The most popular resort and also the oldest in the Etosha National Park - it has been in existence since the early fifties - is Okaukuejo, characterized by its thatched bungalows.
Okaukuejo’s focal point is the floodlit waterhole where visitors gather at night to watch game, including black rhino, elephant, giraffe and lion, come to drink. The resort has a newly built restaurant, bar and shop complex. Okaukeujo is the main administrative centre of the park, and houses the Etosha Ecological Institute, from where research and the conservation management are conducted.

Day 6 & Day 7: Drive to the hear of Damarland. Between the Ugab and Huab Rivers in Southern Damaraland lies a vast and unspoiled wilderness. This area boasts magnificent desert scenery, fascinating geological formations, archaeological sites and a unique variety of desert fauna and flora. It's also the Southernmost roaming ground for the rare black rhino and desert elephant. Mowani Mountain Camp is characterised by its thatched dome-shaped structures which echo the shape of the granite boulders amongst which they are built. Much care has been taken with the design of the public areas, creating the impression of a (very upmarket) African Village, with dome-like thatched structures that blend in with the imposing boulders which are scattered around the outcrops. Mowani is taken from the word M'Wane, meaning "Place of God", and it is here, that you will find the true meaning of peace and tranquility. Mowani Mountain Camp nestles amongst the boulders of this beautiful area on a high spot commanding distant views over the ancient landscape. The luxury tented accommodation is built unobtrusively, so as to ensure minimum impact on the natural environment. The stilt-like supports of the tents ensure that very little excavation was needed in order to create this special oasis.The main complex at Mowani consists of a reception, bar, dining room and a lounge which overlooks the waterhole. Accommodation is in 12 luxury East-African-style en-suite safari tents which are spread around the mountain crest. The tents are built on raised wooden platforms, each with its own private veranda and great views of the Aba-Huab Valley.
Day 8: After breakfast, at leisure depart for the coastal town of Swakopmund. The Swakopmund Guesthouse has 12 en suite rooms. Centrally located on the corner of Hendrik Witbooi and Rhode Allee it is within 5 minutes walking distance to the centre of town and the beach. It has a modern design and thus does cater for the discerning traveller. We offer complimentary transfers to and from the Swakopmund Airport.
Optional activities that can be enjoyed in and around Swakopmund include quad biking, sand boarding, dolphin cruise, camel rides etc, or perhaps a visit to the museum, aquarium or the crystal gallery.
