After your journey to ETOSHA, enjoy a late lunch at Mushara Outposts before heading out into the Park. You will have plenty of time for guided game viewing as well as relaxing around this beautiful lodge and in your spacious room which has enormous windows and a private verandah giving out into the surrounding bush.

Etosha is dominated by a massive mineral pan which fills only if the rains are heavy. This temporary water attracts thousands of wading birds including impressive flocks of flamingos. However, the permanent waterholes also draw large concentrations of wildlife and birds year round making this a prime game viewing area. Expect to see several species of antelope, elephant, giraffe, rhino and lions and, if you are lucky, leopard and cheetah.

As you fly south to Sossusvlei, stop for a delicious fresh seafood lunch in Swakopmund on the way.

Situated just outside the NAMIB NAUKLUFT PARK, Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp is perched on an escarpment with outstanding views over the desert and towards the mountains. Each of the nine superbly appointed chalets has a plunge pool to cool off in during the heat of the day. The main area of camp is thatched with an outdoor deck where guests enjoy sundowners or dinner under the stars and there is a powerful telescope on a stargazing platform to view the clear African night skies.

The lodge offers easy access to the dunes around Sossusvlei and Deadvlei so you will head into the amazing landscapes to get the best dawn light for photography. If you are energetic you can climb one of these towering, shifting mountains of sand and admire the views before a well-earned picnic brunch. You can also take nature drives and walks, with night drives producing sightings of nocturnal species such as aardwolf, Cape fox, black-backed jackal and bat-eared fox.

From desert life to city life in CAPE TOWN where Ezard House is well positioned in Camps Bay to be within easy distance of the centre but at the same time away from the hustle and bustle.

Ten well appointed, modern suites all have balconies facing either the tranquility of the landscaped gardens and koi ponds or over the bay and out to sea. Don Ezard is on hand to ensure that you’ll make the most of your stay, be it exploring the attractions on the V&A Waterfront, taking a day trip into the Winelands, driving round the Cape peninsula or playing golf. Return to Ezard House to relax in the private pool or rooftop jacuzzi before enjoying a fine evening meal and perhaps taking in a show at a theatre.

and what about?
	If you have extra time, maybe take four days driving through dramatic landscapes of rugged mountains and flowering deserts from Sossusvlei to Cape Town. Along the way, stop in the fascinating old German town of Luderitz with its pastel coloured houses and explore Fish River Canyon, second only in size to Arizona’s Grand Canyon and one of Africa’s least-visited wonders.
