A Roundtrip Through Namibia is One You\u2019ll Never Forget. It\u2019s one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world, consisting mainly of desert landscapes of sand and rock. That might sound like there\u2019s not much to experience, but nothing could be further from the truth. During your road trip through Namibia, you\u2019ll climb the world\u2019s highest sand dunes, stay at the most unique locations, tour through the most beautiful mountain passes, and of course, encounter wildlife everywhere \u2013 both during safaris in wildlife parks and on your way to your next destination. Check out our Namibia travel itinerary and let the photos we took during our journey with\u00a0Namibia Nomads\u00a0convince you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transportation for this Itinerary in Namibia<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Due to the very limited public transportation, there are only two ways to travel through Namibia: with a group tour by bus or by embarking on a self-driving road trip with a 4\u00d74 rental car. In our opinion, the latter is absolutely the way to go<\/em>. Driving is very easy and safe in Namibia, allowing you to experience the country at its best. You\u2019ll encounter very few other cars on the road, and it\u2019s even quite common to give a friendly wave when you meet oncoming traffic outside of the cities. This shows how sparsely populated the country is and how quiet the roads are. Sometimes, you can drive for hours without coming across anything or anyone. The landscapes constantly change and will surprise you rather than bore you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing Between a Rental Car with or without a Roof Tent<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve decided to go on a self-driving adventure in Namibia, you\u2019ll have another choice to make \u2013 whether to travel with a roof tent or not. This way of traveling is incredibly popular in Namibia, and it has several reasons. Firstly, the availability of lodges is limited, often being very luxurious and therefore pricey. Secondly, with your rental car and roof tent, you can stay at the most incredible locations in the heart of nature. You\u2019ll do this at campgrounds where you often have your own space away from other cars. All camping gear is included with the rental car, so you can start your adventure through the land of endless horizons without too much preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Many Weeks Do You Need for This Itinerary?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There is a lot to see in Namibia, and distances can be quite significant. You could easily spend four weeks exploring, but that would likely consume all your vacation days. Most destinations are located in the northern and central parts of the country, and to visit these, you\u2019ll need about two weeks. Below, we describe our Namibia travel itinerary, including all the places where you\u2019ll stay and the stops you\u2019ll encounter along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
