Quick Look
Namibia to Go: Windhoek * Sossusvlei * Swakopmund * Damaraland * Etosha
Our Namibia to Go tour is a great option for those who are not keen to self-drive in Namibia. BUT who also are not so keen on the expense of a private tour, especially if you are only two people.
It makes use of a scheduled shuttle transfer services that runs between some of the main attractions of Namibia. As it is operated by the company which owns these lodges, it runs directly between them. So you get a seamless travel experience without having to drive yourselves.
We have included several excursions at each lodge as well as dinner. But these activities can be taken out or changed to other activities on offer at each lodge. So there is some flexibility to customise the tour to suit you.

A Little More Detail

The Desert Grace Lodge
This is the first of Gondwana’s lodges to be entirely constructed using sandbags instead of bricks. Not only does this have a positive outcome for the environment, it also makes the 24 rooms on the lodge cooler and very well insulated.
Today you are transferred to Swakopmund for a 2 night stay at the The Delight Swakopmund.
Today you are going on a tour called – Living Desert TourĀ
Tommy Collard was the first person to offer the āLiving Desert Tourā, which he developed over a number of years. Nowadays there are two or three companies offering a living desert tour in some shape or form. All with good reputations!
What does a living desert tour mean? The tour is focused on examining the smaller creatures of the desert. You experience the unexpected life in the dunes up close with a conservation-minded approach.
You head off into the dunes, then tyres are deflated, and the search is on for desert creatures. Tommy is skilled at finding the majority of these creatures such as the Palmata geckos, sand-diving lizards, side-winders, FitzSimonās burrowing skink and Namaqua chameleon on every tour. The drive through the dunes is a wonderful experience, presenting many photographic opportunities. Youāll also experience a āroaringā dune.
Today you will be heading north to Damaraland to stay at Damara Mopane Lodge.
Today at 1pm you are transferred to your next Lodge, Etosha Safari Lodge for your 3 nights stay.
Etosha Safari Lodge
The lodge, only ten km from the park’s central entrance and a world away from the hustle and bustle of Okaukuejo, offers top grade Etosha accommodation with easy access to the park. Days of animal wonder are balanced with comfort and care, creating an exceptional Etosha experience. Dine under a dome of stars on the outside veranda, sit next to a blazing fire, or watch the red orb of the sun sink gracefully into the landscape from the sunset deck. The day couldn’t be better.
