Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Windhoek - Rest and Relaxation
Namibia is a long way from home. And that’s part of the attraction. If it was close to the West it would never have stayed so authentic and untamed. After the flight you’ll be craving some recuperation time, and this is idyllically provided your charming boutique hotel nestled in a quiet neighborhood of Windhoek. You’ll be met at the airport by a representative who will ensure that you’re happy with your vehicle and ready to go. You’ll receive comprehensive maps and route instructions, along with direct contact numbers in case of emergency. During the evening, the rep is around to answer any questions you may have, as well as offering detailed advice and tips on driving in Namibia. Windhoek is the capital city by name, but it feels more like a rural village, the wide streets encircled by arid desert and distant mountains. Rest and soak up the tranquil atmosphere, before a leisurely evening of pampering and Windhoek’s cute restaurants.
