Walvis Bay International Airport, "Camp 911" in the "Moon Landscape": desert check-in.
Excitement is in the air: your African adventure begins when you land at Walvis Bay International Airport. A shuttle service will take you to the "Camp 911" in the "Moon Landscape" created specially for this Porsche Travel Experience. The surreal beauty of the lunar desert landscape in the Namib-Naukluft National Park will amaze you. Before the professional drivers' briefing that prepares you for the upcoming days, you can unwind from your journey in the camp's massage tent. Or you can explore the fascinating surroundings.
In the evening, you will savour a breathtaking sunset, while bidding the day farewell in style on the terrace of the Porsche Lounge with a sundowner, where Namibian canapés are served. The next culinary highlight follows immediately: "Namib braai", a traditional barbecue. Final highlight of your arrival day: a skywatching experience that promises to thrill. Namibia's night sky delights astronomers around the world. And it will surely captivate you as well. Thanks to the low air and minimal light pollution there, the view of space transforms into an otherworldly natural spectacle. Absolutely magical.
"Camp 911", Namib-Naukluft National Park, "Camp 911": heavenly perspectives.
Your first driving day begins with an excellent breakfast. After the vehicle briefing, you will start the engine of your Porsche 911 Dakar and bring a bit of dynamism to your desert adventure: a 5 hour myriad of driving pleasure lies ahead of you. On unpaved paths and varied trails, you will journey along the fabulous natural landscapes of the Namib-Naukluft National Park. In between, there is always enough time to marvel at the incredible liveliness of the desert. One example: "Welwitschia". The country's national plant only grows in the Namib Desert and can live up to 1,500 years. A living fossil. After lunch in the desert oasis "Tinkas Plains", you will drive back to the "Camp 911" – past the impressive island mountain "Blutkuppe".
In the afternoon, you will reach new heights: during an impressive scenic flight in a small plane, you will discover Namibia's treasures from a bird's eye view. The highlight of your flight is the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Namib Sand Sea" with its overwhelming desert landscapes. Back in Swakopmund, you will enjoy a well-deserved sundowner and dinner in the charming seafood restaurant "The Tug Restaurant" right by the ocean. Afterwards, a shuttle service will safely return you to the camp – full and content.
"Camp 911", "Moon Landscape", "Camp 911": beach, moon and back.
After a wonderful desert breakfast and a short drivers' briefing, you will set off towards the Atlantic coast. Under professional guidance, you will discover the fascinating off-road qualities of your Porsche 911 Dakar while driving on the beach. A rare and highly exclusive driving pleasure on extensive, deserted stretches of beach. You will get to know, manoeuvre and love your sporty companion in its natural habitat in a completely new way. A dynamic beach drive like that certainly makes you hungry. The reward is seafood and crayfish. Fresh from the grill. Right on the beach.
During your return in the Porsche 911 Dakar, you will have time for your very own moon mission: rugged rocky terrain, a dry river bed and deep sand. Namibia's "Moon Landscape" puts your driving skills to the test and guarantees driving pleasure as if on another planet. No wonder that the iconic landscape repeatedly appears as a backdrop in lavish Hollywood productions such as Stanley Kubrick's cult film "2001: A Space Odyssey". Change of scenery: your last evening at the "Camp 911" ends with a delicious dinner and an entertaining surprise programme.
Note: Depending on the tide, the beach drive may be postponed until the afternoon. In that case, the trip through the "Moon Landscape" will take place in the morning.
"Camp 911", Etosha National Park, "Etosha Oberland Lodge": drive, marvel, drive…
After your final breakfast at the tented "Camp 911" in the "Moon Landscape", you will make the sand dance once again as you explore remote back roads on a guided tour, where 500 spectacular kilometres await you and your Porsche 911 Dakar. You will get a good impression of the seemingly endless expanse of Namibia, one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. You will pass impressive landscapes and remote villages, discover the charms of the different types of desert and be amazed at the hidden wealth of diverse local flora and fauna.
After stops in Omaruru and Outjo, the last stage of your day will take you directly to the 5-star luxury accommodation "Etosha Oberland Lodge". On the hotel terrace, which is perfectly integrated into the bush landscape, you can enjoy a first-class 5-course meal and savour the fascinating natural scenery from the spacious swimming pool. It is quite possible that larger or smaller wild animals will slink into your field of vision on occasion as "surprise guests".

As a self-driver, you will be in constant contact with your guide via radio, who will provide you with all the important information you need to know. Namibia's highest density of wild animals awaits you in Etosha National Park. Expect plenty of animal sightings, stirring moments and remarkable photo opportunities.
Back at the lodge, you can calmly recall and share your overwhelming impressions and experiences. The Farewell Dinner is a spectacular Bush Dinner that takes place in a secure area in the middle of the wilderness. Very close to a waterhole that is often visited by zebras and friends.
