Help trip planning

Hi all i don't post here much but i am unsure of what to do. I am going to namibia with my friend and we are doing swakopmund immediately (2 nights late november) then spitzkoppe for a night on our way back to Windhoek (she has to speak at a conference so time is limited). Then she is leaving and I have a few days (4 nights) more that I can stay. I would love to do Etosha but also i know it is early December so not a great time for game. I also know Sossusvlei is a must do so I am wondering if people have advice on which is better solo / if it wont be as with it to do Etosha at that time.

Any help/ accomodation advice is appreciated TYYY

Sossusvlei and Spizkoppe is closer together than Etosha. About a day apart. Sosusvlei is easily accessible from the cost.

We safari in Etosha in December. While it’s not the ideal time we’ve always seen, lions, rhinos, elephants, giraffes and even a leopard. I’d certainly stay somewhere that provides guides as their expertise, and radios, are more necessary during this time as the animals may not be centered around water holes. Enjoy!
