Oshikango

🌍 We are part of the My Guide Network 180+ destinations worldwide

Oshikango forms a valuable part in the cross border trading operations between Namibia and Angola to the north. Primarily an economic town, its streets are lined with china shops with construction and manufacturing companies lending contributions to industry. In spite of this, Oshikango remains a fairly unstable town with a high crime rate as well as prevalent prostitution due to its poor population. The town is not very appealing to the eye and remains a pass through for visitors, the town is even shunned by its own inhabitants with many labeling it as "the dirtiest town in the north".

Etosha National Park: Full or Half-Day Game Drive

Etosha National Park: Full or Half-Day Game Drive

Highlights

  • Discover Etosha with a local guide born and raised near the park
  • Travel in an open 4x4 for close and authentic wildlife encounters
  • Flexible routes based on latest animal sightings for best viewing
  • Start at park opening for fewer crowds and better photo moments

Description

Enjoy an unforgettable safari day in Etosha National Park, guided by a passionate professional who was born and raised in Etosha. The tour begins at park opening time, with departure from Anderson Gate, near Okaukuejo. Free, secure, and easily accessible parking is available on-site, allowing travelers to drive themselves directly. It is highly recommended to meet at Anderson Gate in your own vehicle, as this allows you to be among the first vehicles to enter the park and avoids unnecessary delays or fuel consumption. Mornings in Etosha can be very cold, especially in an open vehicle. It is strongly advised to bring warm clothing, especially during the winter months (May to August). The safari is conducted in an open 4x4 vehicle, specially designed for wildlife viewing. The route is not fixed: it is adapted daily based on weather conditions and the latest animal sightings, to maximize your chances of seeing Etosha’s iconic species—elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, springboks, oryx, and sometimes even leopards or cheetahs. A one-hour midday break is planned at a restaurant inside the park. You are free to bring your own lunch or dine at the restaurant (meals not included). The second part of the safari continues in the afternoon after lunch. Throughout the day, your guide will share in-depth knowledge of the park, its wildlife, and ecosystem, based on personal lifelong experience in the region. The activity ends in the late afternoon, returning to Anderson Gate or your lodge if previously arranged. Please bring cash to pay for the park entrance fee, which is not included in the safari price. For guests already staying inside the park (Okaukuejo Lodge or Okaukuejo Camp): if we have no other clients scheduled to enter the park that day, you will need to come to Anderson Gate yourself, as we cannot collect guests inside the park without prior clearance. For departures from Halali, bookings must be made at least 48 hours in advance, and you must contact us directly via WhatsApp. A NAD 1,500 surcharge is payable directly to the guide. For departures from Namutoni Gate, booking is also required 48 hours in advance, with a NAD 3,000 surcharge. For all half-day bookings, no pick-up is possible — you must meet directly at Anderson Gate.

Includes

Pick-up and drop-off at selected lodges (not available for half-day tours) Safari in an open 4x4 vehicle Experienced local guide (born in Etosha) Binoculars available on board (shared use) Warm fleece poncho for the cold mornings Fuel costs Good vibes guaranteed!

Walvis Bay: Sandwich Harbour Sunset Tour

Walvis Bay: Sandwich Harbour Sunset Tour

Highlights

  • Witness the beautiful sunset over Sandwich Harbor
  • Take in panoramic views of gigantic dunes rolling into the Atlantic Ocean
  • Photograph the sun setting over the dunes in late afternoon light
  • Feast on inclusive snacks and drinks at the end of your experience

Description

Enjoy the most spectacular desert sceneries and capture the interplay between light and shadows in the dunes, as well as the sun setting into the Atlantic ocean at Sandwich Harbour. Departing from the Walvis Waterfront, the drive initially takes us through the Kuiseb river delta, a dry riverbed where the odd springbok, oryx or jackal may be spotted. As this area forms part of our Kuiseb Delta Concession, we are the only activity operator allowed to access this area. If weather and tides allow, we will drive right to the Sandwich Harbour Lagoon along the beach, one of Southern Africa’s richest and unique wetlands and one of five RAMSAR sites (Ramsar site no. 743) in Namibia. Sandwich Harbour boasts two distinct wetlands and associated mudflats. Wedged between the sea and the Namib Dunes, it is one of Namibia's most important coastal wetlands, supporting eight endangered species among the large numbers of wading birds. If our vehicles cannot drive all along the beach to get to Sandwich Harbour because of high tide, you will get a chance to see the lagoon area from one of our many beautiful lookout spots and will have the time to walk and explore. We have lots of time to stop along the way for photography. When the sun has set and the light has diminished, we find a suitable place to stop and serve a selection of oysters and snacks with sparkling wine, beers and cooldrinks. We usually do this on top of a high dune, between the dunes or on the beach. We will be returning at around 20h00.

Includes

All permits Return transportation from Walvis Waterfront Oysters Snacks Sparkling wine Namibian beer Soft drinks

Important Information

  • If high tides prevent the vehicle from driving along the beach to Sandwich Harbor, you will view the lagoon area from a lookout spot
