A normal day on tour with Bluerhino will be roughly as follows:

Day 1, 20 March 2026

We meet at our Windhoek campsite Arebbush in town near the local airport.

I will be there around 5pm.

They have a good restaurant, but I suggest booking when you arrive as it can be full at times.

Day 2

We depart from our campsite and head towards Outjo.

We fit in a coffee stop as needed

We stop for lunch at a coffee shop in Outjo for a bite to eat and a good cup of coffee. A bit of last minute grocery shopping if you need it.

16h00 Arrive at our campsite

Etosha safari camp.

Also a good restaurant and beers.

Day 3,

Today we visit the Etosha park, just a relaxing day of game viewing.

It is your day to use as you want. You may stay in camp or if you want to enter the park on your own, earlier or later, I will give you your entrance fees to do your own thing.

Otherwise you enter with me around 8am. I normally drive to the second camp for lunch and back to our camp to exit at about 3-4pm.

Day 4,

We leave the Etosha area and make our way north.

It is a long driving day.

Day 5,

We break up camp and set off on the 4×4 road next to the Kunene river. If this road is not usable we have a main road as alternative.

This is our adventure for the day and we take a slow drive down the river.

We stop at the Dorsland trekkers memorial and I will tell you about their adventures.

16h00 We should arrive in camp at Epupa falls.

Remember to bring your swimming gear.

We proceed our drive through to the Marienfluss. Through Joubert pass pass rooidrom.

It is another bush camp NO ablutions and your trusted 20 liters of water.
