The vast landscapes of Namibia by rental car

Hop in your rental car and visit the highlights of impressive Namibia. Explore the vast Kalahari Desert, adventure among the giant sand dunes of Sossusvlei and relax in the desert-enclosed coastal town of Swakopmund. Marvel at the rock paintings at the Erongo Mountains or Spitzkoppen, sample the rugged, untouched wilderness of Damaraland and go on safari in the wildlife-rich Etosha National Park. End your trip with a beautiful hike through the Waterberg Plateau and dream away at the view of Okonjima Nature Reserve. A magical journey never to be forgotten! Where the world can't find you...

TIPS & TOPS SELF-DRIVE HIGHLIGHTS NAMIBIA:

  • You can start your trip in Windhoek or choose to stay at luxurious Omaanda Zannier Hotel, beautifully located in the middle of the Zannier Nature Reserve
  • For the ultimate desert experience, go "glamping" in the Kalahari Desert. You will stay in the middle of nature in a comfortably furnished tent, a unique experience!
  • Book a spectacular balloon ride from your lodge at Sossusvlei. Taking off at first daylight, you will fly above the beautiful dunes and desert as you watch animals such as oryx and ostriches fleeing below you. You will end with a champagne breakfast at the landing site
  • Take an active bike tour or quad ride across Swakopmund's beach and dunes
  • Go in search of the rare desert elephant and visit sights such as Twyfelfontein, Burnt Mountain, Petrified Forest and Organ Pipes during your stay in the almost unearthly region of arid Damaraland
  • On the way from the southern to the - less crowded - eastern part of Etosha, stop at watering holes where you can spot wildlife typical of the African savannah such as elephants, zebras, giraffes and rhinos as they come to quench their thirst
  • Choose from the beautiful lodges of Onguma Safari Camps
  • Go in search of the desert elephant at the adventure tented camp Odzondjou Trails Camp
