Rent a 4x4, a camper or an ordinary car to take you along the scenic highways along South Africa's east coast all the way to neighboring Namibia.

Take a week or longer for this trip and you can make some well-worth detours. If you have less time to spare, you can do it in four days, including one day in the park.

Along your route you pass places like the village of Langebaan with its deep blue lagoon, the Skilpad Wildflower Reserve, the idyllic small white houses and endless stretch of beach of the tiny fishers village Paternoster.

Overnight on the lake at Clanwilliam, nestled against the Cederberg, visit the Ais Ais hotsprings, the third largest canyon in the world, the Fish River, and enjoy the rugged landscapes on your way to Namibia, crossing the Orange river, famous for its rafting.

The Etosha National Park consists of desert, savannah and woodlands. Over 100 species of mammals inhabit the park, including rare types like the black-rhino and black-faced impala. Etosha's elephants are the largest in Africa: the tallest measuring up to 4m to the shoulder!

During a safari you can also see hyenas, leopards and cheetahs and over 300 species of birds.
