This Namibian camping safari takes you into the heart of one of the most remote and beautiful areas of Namibia -- the Kaokoland, accessible only by 4x4 -- and introduces you to the enigmatic and beautiful Ovahimba, a nomadic Namibian tribe which tenaciously clings to its traditional way of life. You will return via Damaraland where you may be lucky enough to see the Desert Elephant.
| Day | Route/Activities |
| 1 |
We leave Windhoek and head north via Okahandja, Otjiwarongo and Outjo to Hobatere Lodge. Here we spend the evening at the spot-lit waterhole gameviewing. |
| 2 |
From Hobatere we head further north through eastern Kaokoveld, Opuwo and Okangwati, reaching the Epupa Falls in the afternoon. Here you will have your first encounter with the ovaHimba people, before being lulled to sleep by the roar of the Epupa Falls. |

We spend the entire day in the area of the Epupa Falls. Using the expertise of a local guide we visit Himba villages and other sites; after lunch we have time to explore the area on foot, checking out local crafts and swimming in splash pools under the Waterfall. |

Today we start heading south backtracking to Opuwo, and heading through the windy Jouberts Mountains past Sesfontein, reaching the beautiful community campsite of M'Bakondja in the afternoon. |
| 5 |
We continue south, to the ancient rock engravings at Twyfelfontein, which we explore before heading into the central Damaraland hinterlands near the Doros Crater, an area of sweeping grandeur and beauty. We overnight at the Ugab Wilderness Camp, a good place to see desert adapted elephants. |

After an early morning visit to the White Lady rock painting at the Brandberg Mountain, we make our way back to Windhoek via Omaruru. |
