This 19-day journey from Windhoek to Luanda combines the highlights of Namibia and Angola into one unforgettable adventure. Experience a game drive in Etosha National Park, explore the vast and striking Namibe Desert, and take in the breathtaking views of the Tundavala Gap and the iconic Leba Pass. Visit the impressive Ruacana, Binga and Kalandula Waterfalls, with Kalandula considered an unspoiled rival to Victoria Falls. Along the way, meet remote nomadic tribes of the south, discover Angola’s dramatic and largely deserted coastline, walk among the towering Black Rocks, and visit a working coffee and banana farm. This journey offers a rich immersion into local culture, cuisine, wildlife and some of Africa’s most spectacular landscapes.
