Food

All breakfasts, 4 lunches and 5 dinners included.

In the itinerary we state which meals are included on which day. Please allow
approximately £10/US$15 per meal per person for meals not included. Some
meals are in restaurants whilst others will be prepared by the tour leader
and assistants. Camp meals are freshly cooked over the camp fire. They are
wholesome and plentiful, but do not expect cordon bleu cuisine and please
note it is not always easy to get fresh meat. However, the standard of food
is generally good. Breakfast - cereals, coffee, yoghurt, muesli, fresh fruit
or the occasional fried breakfast. Lunch - cheese, cold meats, pasta, salads,
bread or rolls. Dinner - potjie (stew), braai (BBQ) or stir fries.

Vegetarians are well catered for on this trip though sometimes options might
be more limited.

Accommodation

Namibia is a fantastic destination for camping. The landscapes are grand and unpopulated, wildlife is widespread plus the campsites are clean and well maintained. We spend eight nights full-service camping and four nights in guesthouses. We sleep in spacious, two-person tents fitted with thick foam mattresses. Properties are either well located for our activities or to break up the long drives that are necessary to explore the highlights of Namibia. Below are some of the places we stay:



Arebbusch Lodge







Our guesthouse in Windhoek is only a 10-minute drive from the city centre yet is spacious with two swimming pools and one of the best pizzerias in the capital. It also has a beautiful garden enlivened with indigenous trees, which provide a habitat for a wealth of birdlife, including black-throated canaries, laughing doves and red-headed finches.



Brandberg White Lady Lodge







Our Brandberg stay is in the middle of nowhere. From the viewpoint at our campsite, you will not see another property, just the ruggedly beautiful landscape of Damaraland and possibly some desert elephants in the distance. There’s a dining area, well-stocked bar, lounge, and two swimming pools.



Camping in Etosha National Park







In Etosha, we stay within the national park itself – a huge plus for any animal lover – and our time is split across two resorts: Okaukuejo and Namutoni. The highlight of Okaukuejo is undoubtedly its flood-lit waterhole, where wildlife regularly stops to drink and bathe. When it’s your turn to relax, there’s also a restaurant, swimming pool, bar and shop. Namutoni, which comprises an old German fort, has plenty of amenities too, including an African fusion restaurant, steakhouse, bar and swimming pool. Additionally, you can see the King Nehale Waterhole from the fort walls – perhaps best enjoyed with a sundowner.



Worth knowing



Wi-fi is available in several properties but not everywhere, notably it is not available in Sesriem, Etosha or Waterberg.

Due to the limited amount of accommodation within Etosha National Park, it is sometimes necessary to sleep outside the park on some or all of the nights we are there. However, this is rare. Where we stay will not impact on the number of game drives we have within the park.

All camping equipment is provided except for sleeping bags and pillows.
