The Kalahari, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Damaraland and Etosha, with two nights in each.
This is a slow, thorough Namibia, with two nights in almost every place. You begin in the red dunes of the Kalahari, move to the great dunes of Sossusvlei, the coast at Swakopmund, the desert elephants of Damaraland, and end at Etosha.
It is a road trip with a steady pace and no one-night stops, so you have time to walk, to sit and to take the extra game drive.
