Description of Northern Namibia self drive safari
Embark on an unforgettable self-drive journey through Namibia, focussing the wildlife-rich north of the country.
Everything we do is completely tailor-made so should you like to amend this trip at all just let us know.
After an initial overnight at a boutique hotel in Windhoek, head north to Okonjima Plains Camp for a night immersed in wildlife. Located in the Okonjima Nature Reserve, this camp is home to the AfriCat Foundation, which focuses on the conservation of cheetahs and leopards. Engage in thrilling activities like tracking leopards and spotting nocturnal animals on a night safari. Continue your journey to Mushara Outpost for two nights, situated near Etosha National Park’s eastern boundary. Styled as a traditional African farmstead, the outpost is the ideal base for exploring Etosha’s vast salt pans and waterholes, where you can witness elephants, lions, and rhinos in their natural habitat.
Next, spend two nights at Etosha Safari Lodge, perched on a hill with sweeping views of the African savannah. The lodge offers easy access to Etosha’s central regions, where you can enjoy sunrise and sunset game drives. Then travel to Twyfelfontein Adventure Camp for two nights in the rugged terrain of Damaraland. Explore the area’s ancient rock engravings, the Petrified Forest, and unique geological formations. Conclude your trip with a night at Habitas, a luxury eco-conscious retreat offering guided nature walks and relaxation in a serene wilderness setting, bringing your Namibian adventure to a memorable close.

Human powered activities are available throughout the trip, including nature walks in Damaraland and when staying on the Okonjima Nature Reserve.
A number of accommodations included in this suggested itinerary are powered by renewable energy. For example both Twyfelfontein Adventure Camp is run entirely from solar power and Musher Outpost has solar panels that contribute 70% of their power.
ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE
A percentage of each booking goes into a fund to support a number of projects across Namibia, some of these are wildlife projects including the Desert Lion Conservation Trust and the Giraffe Conservation Foundation.
The Okonjima Nature Reserve is home to the AfriCat Foundation, which is one of the best known wildlife charities in Namibia. The foundation focuses on educating Namibia’s youth and on research projects which are essential in accomplishing its mission of the long term conservation of Namibia’s wildlife in their natural habitat, but in an enclosed conservation area.
