Namibia Self-Drive — 10-Day Highlights Circuit - Image 1

Tour Overview

Namibia is the best self-drive safari destination in Africa, and this 10-day circuit covers all the highlights. Start in Windhoek, drive south to the towering dunes of Sossusvlei, then west to the Atlantic coast and the adventure town of Swakopmund. Head north through Damaraland — tracking desert-adapted elephants and visiting ancient Twyfelfontein rock engravings (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Continue to Etosha National Park for world-class waterhole game viewing. The roads are excellent, distances are manageable, and the sense of freedom is extraordinary. This is the road trip of a lifetime.
