This route suggestion is our first itinerary designed for self-driving in Namibia. The tour is starting in Windhoek, the capital and biggest city in Namibia. Next stop is Keetmanshoop where you can visit the "Quiver Tree Forest" just out of town. From here the route is going southwards to the Fish River Canyon, the second largest canyon in the world. Lüderitz, the old coastal town is the next stop. From here we are going back inland, via Aus and the Duwisib Castle, to Sesriem Canyon and Sossusvlei. From here the tour is going to the Etosha National Park, stopping enroute in Swakopmund, at the Spitzkoppe, Twyfelfontein, Outjo and Tsumeb. The last stop in the National Park is Okaukuejo before the tour is hitting the road again back to Windhoek. On the way back to the starting point of "Namibia In A Rush" the tour is stopping again in Outjo (jep, lazyness) and at the famous Waterberg.
