Undoubtedly one of the most scenic routes you will ever embark upon.This tour is rated **** value for money and the route is well designed .

Namibia is a country of compelling beauty, abundant sunshine and a feeling of unconfined spaces. With its unspoiled landscapes and large variety of game, increasing numbers of visitors are drawn to this part of the globe.

There is the brooding, desolate Namib Desert, said to be the oldest in the world, with its high dunes and awe-inspiring sense of space. The central plains with its rugged mountains, rising abruptly from the plains, give way to the majestic Fish River Canyon in the south.

In the north the landscapes range from dense bush and open plains of the great Etosha Pan. Most of the African game species are well represented in Namibia, with the largest concentration of game in the Etosha National Park.

Travelling through Botswana the burning sands of the Kalahari suddenly surrender to an amazing flood of water that charge through a long panhandle, and then spills out across the Kalahari in an amazing labyrinth of waterways that covers more than 22 000km² of Botswana. Experience the thrill of a bush camp and a 4x4 Safari in open game drive vehicles exploring the okavango and moremi
