1. Tag: Nairobi - Lake Nakuru Nationalpark
Kenya is East Africa’s most popular safari destination and has a long tradition of tourism and of welcoming visitors. Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, has seen rapid growth in recent years but still has a comparatively small city centre, interesting city markets, numerous craft shops, book shops and plenty of cafes and restaurants. We recommend you arrive at least one day before the tour departure in order to relax, check out the city and overcome any jetlag.
We depart Nairobi early and descend into the ‘Great Rift Valley’, an enormous cleft in the Earth’s surface stretching from the Red Sea to Madagascar but with particularly marked escarpments here in Kenya. We stop at a lookout point to take in the magnificent views. Our overnight stop is Lake Nakuru National Park, a relatively small park (by African standards) however prolific in wildlife, situated on the Great Rift Valley floor. The shallow soda lake attracts a huge variety of birdlife - especially flamingos, which may gather in such numbers that (when viewed from above) they form a strikingly pink ‘fringe’ around the lakeshore. However, Lake Nakuru is not simply a bird sanctuary, it is also home to buffalo, lion, rhino (black and white), leopard, warthog, baboon, antelope, and a variety of smaller animals.
A delightful introduction to East Africa’s wildlife diversity that we search for in an afternoon game drive making use of local guides and smaller safari vehicles for a more intimate experience.
Fahrzeit: ca. 4 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 190 km
Unterkunft: Punda Milias Nakuru Camp
Verpflegung: 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
2. Tag: Lake Nakuru - Eldoret
From Nakuru we continue northwest and climb in altitude towards the town of Eldoret, en-route to the Ugandan frontier. We cross from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere today over the Equator, enjoying some time here learning a little about its significance and taking photos before moving onwards to Eldoret. The name ‘Eldoret’ is based on the Maasai word ‘Eldore’ meaning stony river, due to the stony bed of the nearby Sosiani River. The town is the 5th largest in Kenya and is the fastest growing with a population of approx. 194,000. We camp outside of town in a unique campsite created on hilly forest tribal land, once home to members of the ancient Sirikwa tribe. Preserved on the site are excavations with stone sides, commonly called Sirikwa holes, which are believed to have been roofed and occupied by the inhabitants of a bygone age.
Fahrzeit: ca. 3.5 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 150 km
Unterkunft: Naiberi River Campsite & Resort
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
3. Tag: Eldoret - Kampala
We cross into Uganda, Winston Churchill’s ‘Pearl of Africa’, a country with beautiful natural scenery and a rich mosaic of tribes and cultures – and friendly people. Our first night we camp at the capital Kampala, an attractive hilly city, bustling with roadside traders, markets and busy matatu (mini-bus taxi) stands.
Please note that some group members may be starting their tour in Kampala.
Fahrzeit: ca. 7.5 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 400 km
Unterkunft: Campingplatz beim Red Chili Hideaway
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
4. Tag: Kampala - Queen Elizabeth Nationalpark
From Kampala, we travel west towards Queen Elizabeth National Park, crossing the Equator again, through fertile green terraced hillsides, lush banana plantations, steep mountains, and tangled forests. From our Truck we should see herds of Ankole cattle with their incredible long curving horns roaming the roads and paddocks. We camp a short distance from the Queen Elizabeth National Park. Here you will have the opportunity to relax and unwind, take a walk in the surrounding areas, and mingle with the local community.
Fahrzeit: ca. 5 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 240 km
Unterkunft: Simba Safari Campingplatz
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
5. Tag: Queen Elizabeth Nationalpark
This morning we enter the Queen Elizabeth National Park and taking in the magnificent views of the mountains that separate Uganda from central Africa as well as Lake Edwards and Lake George. Queen Elizabeth National Park has over 500 species of bird and 100 species of mammals, making it one of the most biodiverse national parks in the world. If we are lucky, we may get to spot some of these animals en-route to Kyambura Gorge for the trek to see the chimpanzees. Unlike their larger cousins, the mountain gorilla, chimps live mostly in the trees and so our viewing consists mainly of peering high into the forest canopy. Predictably, the experience of seeing man’s closest relative in the wild is a memorable one.
Chimpanzee Trek permits are issued by the wildlife authority in groups of up to 8 people at a time, per group. Depending on our group size, this means that we may trek on the afternoon of Day 4, morning of Day 5 and afternoon of Day 5 or morning of Day 6.
Unterkunft: Simba Safari Campingplatz
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
6. Tag: Queen Elizabeth Nationalpark - Lake Bunyonyi
We leave the picturesque hills of the national park and make our way to the lush and stunning Lake Bunyonyi (‘Place of many little birds’). This lake is 27 km long, 7 km wide and at an elevation of 1.950 metres above sea level, it is surrounded by undulating hills between 2.200m to 2.478m high. With a depth of nearly 900 metres in parts, this lake is the second deepest lake in Africa (the deepest being Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania). With twenty-nine islands that can be visited by local boats, the lake is a great place to unwind, relax and explore on the days that we don’t trek to see the mountain gorillas.
Over the next two days the group will be split, with one group trekking to the mountain gorillas while the others stay at Lake Bunyonyi to enjoy the many activities on offer.
Lake Bunyonyi:
There are many activities to do here such as hiring canoes to visit some of the lakes’ islands, visit local tribes and villages, visiting the local orphanage, as well as bird watching and nature walks. Alternatively, just relax around camp, catch up on your travel diary or postcards to home, or sorting through your photos of your trip so far.
Mountain Gorilla Trekking:
This region of Africa is home to the world’s remaining 700 free-roaming mountain gorillas, many of which inhabit the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. (We may travel into neighbouring Rwanda to trek for the gorillas if need be).
On the day of your trek we gather in the early morning to meet our local guide and tracker. Walking in small groups, we trek into the thick rainforest. The trek can be demanding at times - with uneven terrain and hilly rainforest, but the privilege of spending time with a family of these gentle primates makes the effort well worthwhile. To many people the day’s trek and time with the gorillas remains their most exciting wildlife encounter in Africa.
The usual procedure, once we have located the gorilla ‘family’, is to squat or sit down and simply observe them for around an hour – the time set by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (the national body charged with controlling and maintaining the gorillas in Uganda). Gorillas are sociable creatures, living in groups between 12 and 20 individuals, usually led by an alpha male (the ‘silverback’ - so called because of the silver hair on his back which grows once the male gorillas reach maturity). Most people find that the gorillas are remarkably human-like at close quarters – particularly in the social interaction between family members and in ‘play’ activity in which the young engage. Photography is permitted (although not with a flash and there are restrictions for those who wish to use a video camera.)
Your permit allows you one trek and gorilla viewing (time limited to one hour). However, because the authorities maintain strict limits on the number of visitors allowed to view the gorillas each day we may spend several days in the area while all passengers in our group complete the trek and viewing.
Note: Depending on the availability of the gorilla permits the tour itinerary may vary in day to day running order in relation to the brochure itinerary. From time to time we may have to trek on different days. If at any reason our Gorilla trek should be in another neighbouring country, e.g. Rwanda (instead of Uganda) this may entail extra visa fees although we shall endeavour to advise you before departure of any significant changes to the tour itinerary. Please take the above itinerary as a guideline only. This applies to day 6 – 8 of this tour.
Fahrzeit: ca. 5 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 240 km
Unterkunft: Bunyonyi Overland Camp
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
7. Tag: Aufenthalt am Lake Bunyonyi oder Gorilla Trekkingtag

Optional Activities:
Island Boat Trips USD25-80
Village Walk USD10
Traditional Dance USD100
Bird Watching USD15
Canoe Hire USD10
Unterkunft: Bunyonyi Overland Camp
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
8. Tag: Aufenthalt am Lake Bunyonyi oder Gorilla Trekkingtag
Today is a trek day or a day at leisure to enjoy the many optional activities in Lake Bunyonyi. Whether relaxing on the shores of this deep Crater Lake with a good book or heading out to the village and orphanage to gain an insight into the everyday life of Ugandans in this area - you’ll no doubt wish you could stay in this beautiful part of Africa for longer.
Unterkunft: Bunyonyi Overland Camp
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
9. Tag: Lake Bunyonyi - Kampala
From Lake Bunyonyi we make our way back across the Equator (stopping for a photo if we have not done so previously) through lush pasture lands and the northern reaches of Lake Victoria (Africa’s largest lake) to Kampala where we will overnight. Kampala is a hotspot for great food and entertainment. If time allows, go out to enjoy the nightlife, try the local cuisines and enjoy the hospitality and friendliness of the local Ugandans.
Please note that some group members may be ending their tour in Kampala.
Fahrzeit: ca. 10 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 550 km
Unterkunft: Campingplatz beim Red Chilli Camp
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
10. Tag: Kampala - Jinja
Leaving Kampala, we drive the short distance to the town of Jinja on the banks of Lake Victoria and the Nile. It was in 1862 that the British explorer John Hanning Speke recognised Lake Victoria as the ‘source of the Nile’ settling a long running dispute about Africa’s (and the world’s) longest river. From his modest monument on the banks, the Nile begins its 4132 mile course through Uganda, Sudan and eventually Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea.
Our camp is situated on the grassy banks overlooking the Nile River. It is here that we usually have the option to try river rafting - an exciting day out for those enjoying the thrill of ‘whitewater’. There is also the opportunity to make some difference to local children at a local school project: ‘Softpower’ is a locally run volunteer programme aimed at building and improving schools in the Jinja area to which your contribution of a few hours of painting or plastering is always most welcome. Other activities at Jinja include mountain biking, quad biking, village walks and even Nile cruises!

Giraffe Centre USD10
Karen Blixen Museum USD20
Unterkunft: Wildebeest Eco Camp
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück
16. Tag: Nairobi - Maasai Mara Reservat
We depart the city early and make our way across the Great Rift Valley to the Maasai Mara National Reserve, enjoying views of the vast vista en route. We travel in small, specialised safari vehicles that enable us to have a more intimate view of wildlife. We spend two nights camping on the edge of the Reserve with time to explore the park on morning and afternoon game drives.
Fahrzeit: ca. 5 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 300 km
Unterkunft: Enchoro Wildlife Camp Masai Mara
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
17. Tag: Maasai Mara Reservat
We have the day to explore the Reserve in search for wildlife including the ‘big 5’ – lion, rhino, elephant, buffalo and leopard. The sweeping plains, distant horizons, low slung acacia trees, and plentiful wildlife ensure a deeply evocative few days.
The ‘Mara’ is crossed every year between July and October by great herds of wildebeest, zebra and other grazing animals in their migration from the adjoining Serengeti plains to the south (in Tanzania). How long they stay is dependent on rainfall and subsequent grass growth in the rainy season. Predators (such as lion, cheetah, leopard) and scavengers (hyena, vultures) follow the grazing animals and this enormous congregation of wildlife forms a spectacular display of Africa’s natural resource. But the Mara is excellent for game viewing at any time of year and regardless of when you can visit we hope to see some, if not all, of Africa’s ‘Big Five’ (elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo and leopard) and an array of other wildlife.
We stop for a lunch before returning to our tented camp for the evening.
Unterkunft: Enchoro Wildlife Camp Masai Mara
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
18. Tag: Maasai Mara Reservat - Nairobi
From the Mara we make our way back across the Great Rift Valley to Nairobi, where we overnight.
Please note that some group members may be ending their tour in Nairobi on this day.
Fahrzeit: ca. 5 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 300 km
Unterkunft: Wildebeest Eco Camp
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
19. Tag: Nairobi - Arusha
After crossing the border into Tanzania at the busy Namanga frontier we arrive at our destination, Arusha, in the late afternoon. Situated mid-way between Cape Town and Cairo, this is very much Tanzania’s ‘safari capital’ - a bustling city with colourful markets, shops, vehicles and people, all nestling in the shadow of the brooding Mt Meru (4.556 m).
After exploring the curio markets, we head to our camp just outside Arusha on the open plains to the west of the city. It is from here that we prepare for our two night/three-day excursion to the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.
This afternoon, if time allows, we enjoy a walk to one of the local Maasai villages to enjoy an insight into everyday life and traditions of this colourful culture.
Fahrzeit: ca. 5 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 270 km
Unterkunft: Meserani Snake Park
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
20. Tag: Arusha - Serengeti Nationalpark
This morning we transfer to smaller, more ‘game park friendly’ vehicles and drive west across the Great Rift Valley, passing through Mto Wa Mbo (‘mosquito creek’) and enter the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area. We enter the park and drive around the ‘Crater’s rim and down onto the Serengeti plains. Green after the rains, brown and burnt in the dry, this is home to an enormous variety of grazing animals, predators, and birdlife. Flatter and larger than the Maasai Mara the Serengeti is simply huge - indeed the name derives from the Maasai word Siringitu – ‘the place where the land moves on forever’. We game drive to our designated (but unfenced) campsite for the evening where lion and hyena roam nearby, for an unforgettable experience.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 250 km
Unterkunft: Campingplatz
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
21. Tag: Ngorongoro Krater
We drive out of the plains, game driving en route, and after lunch ascend the outer wall of the Ngorongoro Crater. We spend the night camping on the rim (you may need a jacket; it can be cold at night due to the altitude), where wildlife also roams free. At 326 square kilometres, the Ngorongoro is Africa’s largest intact caldera and a World Heritage Site. If the view from the rim (2.400 metres above sea level) is spectacular, the site from the Crater floor (some 600 metres below) is equally enjoyable.
Unterkunft: Simba Campsite
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
22. Tag: Ngorongoro Krater - Arusha
We wake early and descend the steep dirt road of the Ngorongoro Crater for a morning of game driving in this spectacular wildlife haven. All of the large mammals are present except giraffe (which cannot manage the steep slopes leading down onto the Crater floor). After our game drive we ascend to our campsite on the rim for a final view over the Ngorongoro Crater, pack up our camp and have lunch before retracing our steps to Arusha and our campsite at the Meserani Snake Park.
Note: We may enjoy the Maasai walk on this day if we were unable to make this on Day 19.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 250 km
Unterkunft: Meserani Snake Park
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
23. Tag: Arusha - Bagamoyo
This morning we wake early and head south via Moshi to Bagamoyo. If the weather is clear we will be afforded a view of the magnificent snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak (5.895m). The quaint town of Bagamoyo was founded at the end of the 18th century and was one of the most significant trading ports along the East African coast. Our camp for the evening is situated close by to the palm fringed beaches of the Indian Ocean.
Fahrzeit: ca. 11 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 560 km
Unterkunft: Firefly Camp
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
24. Tag: Bagamoyo - Dar es Salaam
Leaving Bagamoyo we make our way south to Dar es Salaam. ‘Dar’ is Tanzania’s main port and is a hub of commerce and industry - a hot, humid and bustling seaport city of high rises, colourful markets and Arab influenced architecture on the coast, accessing one of the most important sea routes in the world. To a majority of travellers, this city is the port of entry to the more exotic island of Zanzibar and other archipelago islands. We set up camp on the beach just outside of the city, take in the balmy Indian Ocean sea breeze, and prepare for our trip to Zanzibar.
Fahrzeit: ca. 2.5 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 60 km
Unterkunft: Campingplatz beim Kipepeo Beach Village
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
25. Tag: Sansibar
Evocative and exotic, Zanzibar conjures up images of idyllic, sandy, palm fringed beaches, romantic winding cobbled alleys and lush tropical forests. You will find all these here - and an intriguing history. Zanzibar was the base of the great 19th century explorers such as John Hanning Speke, Richard Burton and David Livingstone and once was a major trading centre of spices. Indeed, the spice trade here is centuries old: Zanzibaris have traded with the people of the Arabian Peninsula for many generations, navigating the ocean in simple dhow sailboats, relying on the annual trade winds for passage. The Arab influence is evident in the architecture and diverse street stall offerings of the capital, Stone Town. This influence can be seen right along the Eastern coast - the Swahili language itself is a result of the mixing of Arab and African languages and cultures over many centuries.
Zanzibar’s other history is not so romantic. The island was also a staging post for slaves bought from the African interior, being held before shipping to slave owners in the Middle East. You can still see the places where these men and woman were held - and even a short visit is enough to convey the appalling conditions they had to endure.
Our time on the island over the next 3 nights is not structured and your time is at leisure. Perhaps the best way to see Stone Town is on foot: explore the bazaars for old maritime trinkets, fabrics, and wooden carvings, or visit mosques, palaces, courtyards, and alleyways of the old town. Spices are grown in plantations nearby and you can take day tours to visit some and have your senses dazzled by the tastes and scents experienced. If it’s white sand, sparkling ocean, and hot sun you prefer - head to the northern beaches and enjoy the Indian Ocean at its best. Try snorkelling and diving, indulge in some sumptuous seafood, or simply relax beneath a coconut palm with a cocktail and a good book.
Note: As we leave our Truck on the mainland, basic tourist class accommodation (B&B) is included in the tour price but for the sake of flexibility other meals are left for your own account. Typically, we spend one night in Stone Town and the next two nights in the north of the island at one of the beaches. Your tour leader will be available to assist if you if you have any questions or need activities arranged.
Please note that some group members may be starting their tour in Dar es Salaam. Both old and new are invited to join in any group outings.

Round the day off with a sunset dhow cruise or chilling to the tunes from the nearby beach bars.
Unterkunft: Sunset Kendwa
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück
28. Tag: Sansibar - Dar es Salaam
We have the morning to do any last-minute shopping or enjoy one last swim before catching the ferry back to the African mainland and Dar es Salaam and onwards to our campsite on the coast for the evening.
Please note that some group members may be ending their tour in Dar es Salaam. Both old and new are invited to join in any group outings.
Unterkunft: Campingplatz beim Kipepeo Beach Village
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Abendessen
29. Tag: Dar es Salaam - Mikumi Nationalpark Gebiet
Leaving the bustling city and warm Atlantic coast, we drive inland through the Mikumi National Park where we may, with luck, spot forest elephant or giraffe feeding near the side of the road. Our campsite is located a short stone’s throw from the park and we enjoy sundowners at the local bar/restaurant followed by the evening around the open fire under the blanket of stars.
If time allows we can go on an optional game drive in the afternoon to explore the magnificent park – Tanzania’s 5th largest. Expect to see Elephant, hippo, crocodiles, antelope and with some luck some buffalo or lion.
Optional Activities:
Mikumi Game Dive USD150

At an altitude of 1600m Kisolanza ensures a pleasant fresh climate in one of the most scenic areas in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania. Home to the Ghaui family for over 70 years, Kisolanza remains a working farm providing organic meat (beef, lamb and chicken) and vegetables to the surrounding markets as well as Dar es Salaam. The farm house is a well-known spot to camp and is the overnight near our mid-way point for our journey from the ocean to the Malawi border.
Fahrzeit: ca. 4 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 220 km
Unterkunft: Campingplatz bei der Kisolanza Farm
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
31. Tag: Iringa - Chitimba Beach / Malawisee
After our last night in Tanzania, we head through lush mountain passes, rich grazing land, and banana and tea plantations to the Songwe border post into Malawi.
Lake Malawi formerly ‘Lake Nyasa’ covers almost a fifth of the country’s area and provides the source of livelihood for many of the Malawi people. Fishermen, fish traders, canoe and net makers all ply their trade, and a common sight is that of a fisherman in his Bwato, (dugout canoe made from hollowed out tree trunk) fishing on the lake at the break of day. The lake also has the highest number of endemic fresh water fish species of any in the world.
Note: Although it is our intention to adhere to the campsites described, a certain amount of flexibility is built into our time in Malawi and the crew may make alterations to the published itinerary. Please therefore treat the Malawi section of the dossier as a guideline only.

The surrounding hills are home to the Livingstonia Mission where David Livingstone worked from for a time while staying in Malawi. The views from here are simply magnificent and well worth the effort of hiking to. For those staying at the campsite, there is a local craft market where you can enjoy learning the ins and outs of woodcarving your own souvenir, or learn to play the game of Bao, haggle for some souvenirs or enjoy a relaxing day admiring the shimmering waters from the beach.

We head south to Livingstone and set up camp at the Waterfront campsite on the banks of the Zambezi River, just a few kilometres from the Victoria Falls. At various times of year, the spray from the ‘Falls’ can be seen from up to 20 or 30 kilometres away, hence the local name Mosi oa Tunya – the ‘Smoke that Thunders’. Don’t forget your raincoat to keep you and your camera dry!
The campsite management provides information on all activities available in the area (typically these include rafting, canoeing, bungee, abseiling, gorge swinging, horse riding, scenic flights, river cruises), allowing you to plan your time accordingly over the next four nights.
Note: For the sake of practicality, meals in Livingstone are restricted to breakfasts. This allows you to take on half day or full day activities (some of which include lunch) without having to be back with the group at mealtimes. The Waterfront camp restaurant overlooks the Zambezi River and offers a good selection of reasonably priced meals and snacks throughout the day (allow USD15-30 per meal). Relax and enjoy these few days at your own leisure. Alternatively, take a taxi or free shuttle into Livingstone and try the local fare.

41. Tag: Livingstone - Kasane
Moving on from Livingstone, we travel a short distance to the Botswana border and on to the town of Kasane - the gateway to Chobe National Park. By size, Chobe is the third largest park in the country and is the most diverse - home to elephant, lion, buffalo, hippo and abundant birdlife, including the famous African fish eagle.
We take a Fish Eagle cruise on the Chobe River – a great opportunity to see hippo and perhaps elephant or buffalo coming to the river to bathe and drink. The Chobe River is a major watering spot for large breeding herds of elephants, as well as families of giraffe, sable and buffalo. The flood plains are the only place in Botswana where the puku antelope can be seen. Birding is also excellent here. When in flood, spoonbills, ibis, and various species of stork and other waterfowl flock to the area.

Many groups report seeing elephant and antelope at close proximity from the campsite - a very relaxing way to view wildlife!
Fahrzeit: ca. 5 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 270 km
Unterkunft: Campingplatz bei der Elephant Sands Lodge
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
43. Tag: Nata - Maun
We leave Elephant Sands and make our way to Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta. Maun is an eclectic mix of modern buildings and native dwellings.
Although officially still a village, Maun has developed rapidly from a rural frontier town to a community that has spread along the wide banks of the Thamalakane River. This is an area where red lechwe antelope can still be seen grazing alongside local donkeys, goats and cattle. Since Maun's founding in 1915 it has had a reputation as a hard-living 'Wild West' town helping the local cattle ranching and hunting operations. Maun today is a thriving tourist town famous for its donkey population and to a lesser extent, goats. These animals can be seen standing around town as they are used by local traders and farmers alike to transport their wares to sell on the curb side.
Note: If time allows, we have the opportunity to take an optional scenic flight over the Okavango Delta, either this afternoon or on day 45 on our return from the Delta excursion.

Leaving the campsite in Maun we begin our excursion into the Okavango Delta in an open 4x4 safari vehicle to the mokoro station. Here we will be introduced to the local Tswana Polers who will be our guides for our overnight expedition.
We travel by mokoro (dugout canoe) amongst the giant lily pads, tall grasses, and labyrinthine channels in search of resident wildlife, making our way to our tented camp. The Okavango is a natural wetland spreading over some 1.6million hectares and offers a perfect habitat for the many species of wildlife that roam here freely. The Okavango River rises in Angola (farther to the north) and flows south, dividing repeatedly after crossing into Botswana to form an intricate floodplain of channels, which spread out into a broad flat inland delta - the only one of its kind in the world.
We enjoy the afternoon wilderness experience and overnight listening to the sounds of the African night - an unforgettable experience!
Our Camp has pre-erected tents with en-suite facilities (basic-style bucket shower & toilet).
Unterkunft: Elephant Camp
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
45. Tag: Okavango Delta - Maun

Alternatively, the afternoon can be spent at leisure at the camp’s pool.

46. Tag: Maun - Omaheke Region / Gobabis
We leave Maun and make our way via Ghanzi, which skirts the Kalahari Desert to the Border of Namibia. Our camp is a short distance from the border in the Omaheke Region of Gobabis. Here, in this midst of this serene beauty we meet the San/Bushman and have a guided bush walk for a cultural experience and insight into these ancient people’s way of life. We learn how they work with nature and manage the renewable resources found in their natural surroundings without damaging the fragile balance of this ecosystem - something we can all learn from. Your support of this ecotourism venture gives the San/Bushman a sustainable income and helps keep their culture alive.
Note: Due to a long travel day and a border crossing into Namibia, the Bushman walk may move to the morning of day 47.
Fahrzeit: ca. 9 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 520 km
Unterkunft: Campingplatz bei Zelda's Guest Farm
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
47. Tag: Omaheke Region - Windhoek
Situated in a basin between the Khomas Highland, Auas and Eros Mountains, Windhoek (population approx 200,000) is small capital by global standards. The city centre is characterised by a proliferation of German style buildings, a lasting reminder of Namibia's early colonial history. Take the opportunity to enjoy a night out at one of the local restaurants or visit the famous 'Joe’s Beer House'.
Fahrzeit: ca. 4 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 310 km
Unterkunft: Urban Camp
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen
48. Tag: Windhoek - Etosha Nationalpark
We make our way north to Etosha National Park, a vast reserve of over 20,000 sq km surrounding a central salt depression or pan. The pan is seasonally full of water, but specially managed waterholes sustain some 114 mammal and 340 bird species throughout the rest of the year. We spend two nights here, usually making camp near a floodlit waterhole. Observers frequently see a range of night visitors including elephant, giraffe, zebra, even lion and hyena, making it one of the most memorable wildlife encounters in Namibia - a truly African experience and a highlight of any trip to Namibia.
We have a short afternoon game drive on entering the park on our way to the camp.
Please note that some group members may be starting their tour in Windhoek.
Fahrzeit: ca. 8.5 Std.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 420 km

After a full day game driving we return to camp, or onto the next camp and enjoy our last evening around the floodlit watering holes, observing natural animal behaviour at its best.
Fahrstrecke: ca. 250 km
Unterkunft: Okaukuejo / Halali / Namutoni Camp
Verpflegung: 1x Frühstück, 1x Mittagessen, 1x Abendessen
50. Tag: Etosha Nationalpark - Spitzkoppe
We game drive out of Etosha National Park and turn south making our way to the beautiful Damaraland region where we explore the eerie Spitzkoppe where ancient bushman paintings are still visible. The giant boulder-like rock formations reach a peak at some 1800m above sea level and create a spectacular view. Take your time to explore the area and its delightful calmness. Keep an eye on the ever-changing colour of the rock, especially during sunrise and sunset, when they acquire intense red shades. The most impressive rock painting is “Bushman Paradise” and the natural rock bridge is a favourite viewpoint.
Note: Please take care if climbing onto the rocky outcrops. The surfaces have been smoothed by aeons of sun, wind and blown dust: they can be extremely slippery especially if you are not wearing suitable footwear.
The Spitzkoppe Rest camp lies at the base of the mountain and is owned and maintained by the local community to which all proceeds from our visit to Spitzkoppe go.
Fahrzeit: ca. 6 Std.

Try some adventure desert-based activities like quad biking, sand boarding, skydiving (weather permitting). For those seeking a quieter life, enjoy the other side of Swakopmund: shops, restaurants, museums, the aquarium, art galleries or simply walk along the promenade admiring the ocean, the quaint German-style architecture and indulge in the town’s café culture.
Note: For the sake of practicality, meals in Swakopmund are restricted to breakfasts. This allows you to take on half day or full day activities (some of which include lunch) without having to be back for meal times.

After a well-earned breakfast we continue deeper into the park for a short shuttle ride and nature walk to ‘Dead Vlei’, amidst the giant sand dunes – a real glimpse of Namibia’s unspoilt natural environment. Bring your camera – the shifting colours of the desert as the sun climbs throughout the mid/late morning offer some brilliant photographic opportunities.
Departing from the dunes, we stop off at the smaller Sesriem Canyon where the multiple layers of rock and pebbles make for an interesting insight to what lies beneath the mountains of sand. Thereafter we make our way to our camp for the night.

Wichtige Hinweise zum Tourpreis
Der Gesamtpreis dieser Reise setzt sich aus dem Tourpreis und dem Local Payment zusammen. Den Tourpreis zahlst du vor Abreise an uns, das Local Payment in US-Dollar zu Beginn der Rundreise an den Reiseleiter vor Ort. Auf Wunsch kannst du den Betrag für das Local Payment auch vorab bezahlen (bis spätestens 3 Wochen vor Tourbeginn). Kontaktiere uns bitte, falls du die Vorabzahlung wünschst.
Das Local Payment beinhaltet ausgewählte Parkeintritte, Aktivitäten und Ausflüge während der Reise, bei denen die Bezahlung direkt an den lokalen Anbieter erfolgt. Der Zweck der separaten Zahlung ist es, sicherzustellen, dass die einheimischen Anbieter direkt von den Einnahmen profitieren.
Tourbesprechung
Das Vortreffen findet am Abend VOR dem Tourbeginn um 18 Uhr im Tourhotel in Nairobi statt. Bitte reise daher mindestens einen Tag vor Beginn der Tour in Nairobi an. Die Abfahrt in Nairobi ist am Tag 1 gegen 08:00 Uhr morgens.
Fahrzeug und Ausrüstung
Die Overlandtrucks sind speziell für die Straßenverhältnisse in Afrika entworfen und von robuster Bauart. Die Trucks sind mit großen Fenstern und 24 vorwärts ausgerichteten Sitzen ausgestattet, so dass du nichts von der atemberaubenden Landschaft oder den Tieren verpasst. Die Trucks verfügen weiterhin über Tische, Steckdosen, Kühltruhe, Wassertank, Bibliothek, Sicherheitseinrichtungen und private Schließfächer mit 70-Liter Volumen. Die Campingausrüstung umfasst Campingstühle mit Rückenlehne, Campingtische, eine umfangreiche Küchenausstattung sowie große Kuppelzelte und komfortable Schaumstoffmatten.
