Angola Safari & Namibia Off-Road Tour

The first day of this angola safari is devoted to arrival in Windhoek. After the airport transfer to the hotel, the afternoon brings an introductory meeting with the guide. The evening is spent getting to know fellow travelers, reviewing the route, and sharing an optional dinner at a Windhoek restaurant. Meals: (-/-/-)

Today's angola namibia safari route passes Naulila, where German WWI graves and colonial history provide a rare historical stop. The drive continues north on new paved road toward Lubango, ending at a camp near a mission south of Quihita. Meals: (B/L/D) – 320 km

A morning tour of Lobito includes a stop at a South African supermarket for supplies. The africa overland route then follows a good paved road toward Sumbe as the vegetation turns tropical and palms line the beach. The group arrives early at a palm-shaded beach camp for a swim in the Atlantic. Meals: (B/L/D) – 180 km

An early start covers 280 km north along the Angola coast toward Luanda. The destination is a remarkable erosion landscape south of the capital — a natural formation above the Atlantic. This west africa safari highlight puts the group's camp directly on the erosion edge with panoramic ocean views. Meals: (B/L/D) – 280 km

Today's namibia safari tour parallel route heads inland from the coast. By afternoon the group reaches the Portuguese ruins of Massangano, a medieval fortress in sub-Saharan Africa — a stop that exists nowhere else on the continent. The vegetation becomes tropical and jungle-like as altitude drops. Meals: (B/L/D) – 280 km

After the calandula falls, the route continues to the Pedras Negras — ancient black granite domes rising from the plateau. Depending on track conditions, tents go up directly among the rock formations, or the group camps beside the Rio Cuanza or in an abandoned coffee plantation. Meals: (B/L/D) – 210 km

A full day at Fazenda Quitila gives the group time to walk the grounds and learn about farming in Angola. A visit to the farm school creates direct contact with local children — one of the most personal moments of this africa overland expedition. The farm's remoteness makes for genuine angola camping in a working community. Meals: (B/L/D) – 0 km

The route descends from the Angolan highlands westward toward the Atlantic. Near the small town of Caimbambo, granite domes rise from the plains. The group turns off-road to camp near one of these formations — optional scrambling available. An alternative continues directly to Equimina Beach. Meals: (B/L/D) – 220 km

The beach break ends and the route continues on unpaved road over the notorious Dombe Grande Pass — a stretch the Angolan government has been trying to pave for years. After 150 km of slow, rough piste, the group arrives at Bentiaba where fossil hunters can dig for specimens on the beach. Meals: (B/L/D) – 200 km

Sunrise over the sandstone formations is the morning reward before continuing to Namibe for a short city stop. By afternoon the angola namibia safari reaches the towering cliffs at Pipas on the Atlantic coast — a dramatic sea-cliff camp above the ocean. Meals: (B/L/D) – 130 km

The final days of angola travel head south. After a highland breakfast above the escarpment, the drive continues to the Kunene River crossing at Xangongo. The last bush camp in Angola is set up on the riverbank — a quiet end to 20 days of intense angola safari. Meals: (B/L/D) – 230 km

The final 440 km on Namibia's smooth paved roads lead back to Windhoek at a relaxed pace. The angola namibia safari concludes in the early afternoon — 23 days, over 4,500 km, and a journey through one of Africa's most rarely visited countries. Meals: (B/L/-) – 440 km
