Most of you are german speaking, but sorry, I don't speak german, so hopefully you can answer me in English.

We want to travel for 5 weeks in Namibia and are both wildlife photographers, so that's the part we are most interested about, but also of rest of Namibia.

Places they suggest us to visit are:
Windhoek - Kalahari Namibia - Fish River Canyon - Aus - Sossusvlei - Namib - Swakopmund - Brandberg - Damaraland - Kaokoveld - Etosha National Park (6 nights) - Otavi Mountain Region - Kavango - Bwabwata National Park - Mamili game Reserve - Windhoek

But don't know how long to stay where?
If we are missing great spots in Namibia?
Maybe spots in our plan, are not interesting enough?
Which / where do we have to pre book camp spots?

Hope someone can help us?

Hi Moswic,

welcome in Forum.
Yes, 5 weeks are o.k and necessary for this journey.
Prebooking depends of the time, when you want to do the journey. Hot times for tourists in Namibia are the months June to October. Thsi is the dry season and you will see most of the animals at the waterwholes. But also the other seaons are very nice especially in the rainy time in February, when Namibia is green, Also in this time you have to prebook in Kalaghadi Transfrontier Park, Sossusvlei and Etosha.
Try to stay minimum 2 days at one place! And try not to drive more than 300 km a day. More than 2 days you should stay in Etosha, Swakopmund (3), KTP (4) and Kaokoveld and Bwabwata (3).
Try to make a route, post it here again and we will help you then. But you must know, that different people with different interests will answer you!
Kind regards:
Burschi

Hi Moswic,
your route-plan ist o. k.
Only a few things:
Day 5: Spend only 1 day at fishriver canon and add this day to Klein Aus Vista. You can visit the wild horses at Garub and Kohlmannskuppe.
Day 9 is not really necessary.
If you want to visit Kaokoveld and stay then at Opuwo perhaps, you have a very long travelling day from Opuwo to Olifantsrus.
Make one overnight stand at Grootberg!
In Swakopmund: Dolfin tour and Living desert tour!!!!
Day 24: If you want to visit the San people at Grashoek, you need one more day at Roy´s Camp!
Kind regards:
Burschi

Hi Moswik,

if you can afford two or three more nights make day 7 to 2 or 3 nights Wolvedans. This is a private game reserve close to Sesriem with hundreds of Oryx, not really shy of humans. So as a wildlife photographer a must im my opinion.

What I saw there you can see here in my report

Hi Moswic,

if you want to drive the "Wildebeest Drive" through the Gondwana Canyon Park (3-4 hours) you will need 2 nights at the Hoba Camp.
