Ever been to Deadvlei in Namibia? If not, it's high time to change that! Fly off to Windhoek, grab the wheel and step on the accelerator. Zoom out of the capital and find yourself on a gravel road leading to nowhere, surrounded by nothing but endless steppe. When you arrive in the Kalahari and Namib deserts, adventure awaits! Snuggle up in your glamping tent and listen to the sounds of nature – with only a thin tarpaulin separating you from the wilderness. And then you'll finally reach it: Deadvlei, a bright-white clay pan surrounded by red dunes and dotted with gnarled, ancient trees. Next, it's off to the rugged Atlantic coast for a quick dip to cool off before getting closer than ever to the Big Five. Stalk the waterholes of Etosha National Park and keep your eyes peeled for zebras, giraffes, rhinos and other beautiful beasts. And don't forget, the Big Five always have right of way! So, are you ready for some truly once-in-a-lifetime moments?

Trip itinerary

Bristling with excitement, you board the plane to Windhoek, lean back, snuggle up in your seat and dream of all the adventures that await you in the African wilderness as you jet through the night sky. When you open your eyes a few hours later, your dreams have become reality. Welcome to Namibia, the land of surreal beauty!

Three, two, one – let's go! As you arrive at the airport in Windhoek, you're greeted by the warm Namibian air. A thirst for adventure wells up within you, and your hire car is ready and waiting for a road trip. But today, you're exploring the city and relaxing in your accommodation, which is right nearby. You stroll through the streets past the main sights, stock up on provisions for the coming days and rejoice at the sound of your inner voice speaking that one clear and unmistakable thought you’ve been wanting to express for so long: 'The adventure has begun!'

Ready for the first leg of your unforgettable road trip, you take the wheel and step on the accelerator. You leave Windhoek in the swirling dust, and the colourful expanses that unfurl before you send a tingle down your spine.

Before you know it, you're surrounded by the warm air of the Kalahari, and every now and again, a meerkat crosses your path. Where are you staying tonight? In a glamping tent in the middle of the wild Kalahari Desert! The camp lies between the red dunes like a lush green oasis, making it impossible not to feel at home. You jump into the pool and enjoy the breathtaking view of the savannah, then round off the day in style by climbing the highest dune you can find and watching as the orange sunset slowly gives way to a sea of twinkling stars. It hardly gets better than this!

The ruddy brown dunes of the Kalahari have captivated you, and now you've got to check out the sunrise, too. The sun's rays bathe the landscape in fiery light, and by now at the latest, Namibia has stolen your heart. You soak in the tranquillity, vastness and magic of the Kalahari once again then hop back behind the wheel. As you ascend the mountainous Tsaris Pass, occasionally spotting oryx and wildebeest on the horizon, the Namib Desert and Namib-Naukluft National Park draw ever closer.

Shortly thereafter, you're speechless. You've arrived! In the middle of nowhere between Sesriem Canyon and Sossusvlei lies your glamping tent surrounded by fiery red dunes. You spend a cosy evening around the campfire or at the bar and listen to the rushing wind before letting the sounds of nature lull you to sleep – sweet dreams guaranteed!
