Day by day

The journey, one day at a time

01Windhoek → Kaokoland

Into Kaokoland

Out at first light.

02Kaokoland

Remote wilderness & Himba

Before the heat builds.

Remote drives along the Kunene and time with Himba communities. Kaokoland is not convenient, and that is the point. <strong>It is among the last genuinely roadless wildernesses in southern Africa</strong>, home to the Himba and the desert elephant, reached only by fly-in or hard expedition. For those who want true remoteness and a living traditional culture, it offers what few places still can.

A last morning, then the road home.

A final morning in onward — a last outing or a slow start as time allows — before the transfer onward and the journey home.

When to travel

The season changes what you see.

May – Oct

Dry season

Cool, clear and dusty; game concentrates at Etosha's waterholes and desert travel is at its easiest. Peak months.

Nov – Apr

Green season

Hot with afternoon storms; the desert greens, newborns arrive and the light turns dramatic, with fewer visitors and lower rates.
