Day 1

Greeting at the airport. Transfer to Windhoek and opportunity for shopping. Relaxation from flight at the pool or visit downtown. Dinner at cost at well-known Joe's Beerhouse. Overnight at Hotel Palmquell.
Day 2

Transfer to Kamanjab in a comfortable bus, because we want to save ourselves the long and boring journey to Kaokoland. Breaks in Otjiwarongo and Outjo. In the afternoon takeover of the motorcycles. Accommodation: Ann's Lodge Breakfast/ Dinner
Day 3

Today is about to be exciting and challenging. Through a small dry river we reach the impressive Khowarib Gorge. It is important to keep your distance from each other here, because the fech-fech can get really dusty. But we can wash it off again in the water that suddenly springs from the dry river Accommodation: camping breakfast and dinner
Day 4

Today we drive through some Himba and Herero settlements. You can also engage in a short chat. The city of Opuwo is our destination. We can let the African hustle and bustle have an effect on us before we dive into the loneliness of Kaokoland. Our campsite offers a brilliant view over the bush landscape. Accommodation: Camping (Lodge accommodation also available.) Breakfast. Dinner at cost at the lodge

Day 6

A short distance back towards Opuwo, then we turn off to the notorious van Zyl's Pass. On the way stony passages through mopane tree landscape. The view from the pass into the desert landscape is unforgettable. Accommodation: Camping. Breakfast. Dinner
Day 7

Through the plain of the dry Marienfluss we come again to the Kunene border river. The Marienfluss offers an impressive solid sandy stage in contrast to yesterday's rocky mountain stage. Unfortunately, bathing in the river is not popular here because of the crocodiles. In the afternoon we leave the Kunene River and spend the night somewhere in the wild Kaokoland.
