Tour Highlights of the Namibia Self-Drive Tour
Windhoek
There are many highlights of the city of Windhoek during a Namibian safari. One such highlight is the Alte Festung, or the ‘old fortress’. Once the military headquarters of Windhoek, it stands today as a state museum and retains the title as the oldest building in Windhoek, with foundations that were laid in 1890.
Etosha National Park
Etosha means ‘huge white area’ or ‘place of dry water’, and the National Park certainly lives up to this description! It’s a vast shallow pan, which shines brightly in the African sun due to crystalized salt on the ground’s surface. The Etosha National Park features several waterholes that provide some of the best game viewing opportunities during the dry season, during which the surrounding lands are exceptionally arid.
Damaraland
Bordered by Windhoek, the Kalahari Desert, the Namib Desert, and Ovamboland, Damaraland is a unique Namibian attraction to witness while on safari with Jenman. It contains some of the most scenic areas in the country, and a Namibian safari to Damaraland will bring tourists into the company of desert elephants, black rhinos, ostriches, and springbok.
Swakopmund
When it comes to having fun, you can choose from an exciting range of activities to enjoy while on your Namibian safari in Swakopmund! From sandboarding to quad biking, fishing to beach angling and diving to hot air ballooning, there is something for everyone no matter your age!
Sossusvlei
The Sossusvlei area is fed by a river called the Tsauchab River – although the dunes prevent the entire pathway of this river. The Tsauchab River only flows right through Sossusvlei every 5 to 10 years, making it a rare sight to see. The Sossusvlei dunes are about 60 km from the Sesriem gate, about an hour’s drive.
