Itinerary

Day 1

Day 1: Windhoek Airport – Sossusvlei We leave Windhoek mid morning to allow us enough time to get to your destination before sunset. From Windhoek, we are heading south west, first through the Khomas Hochland Mountains before descending onto the plains of the Namib Desert. The Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world, stretches some 2000kms along the west coast of Namibia, with varying types of terrain, but it is here, in the Sossusvlei region that is known for its enormous sand dunes, and breathtaking photographic opportunities. On arrival at our lodge, we can enjoy a walk and prepare for a relaxing sundowner drink before dinner.

Day 2

Day 2: Sossusvlei Area A very early start this morning for our Sossusvlei guided excursion. We aim to leave our lodge well before sunrise to ensure that we are one of the first to enter the national park. From Sesriem, we drive further into the desert area, where the early morning light provides excellent opportunities for photography. Once we arrive in the 4x4 carpark, we can then explore this area on foot, with a walk around Dead Vlei and Sossusvlei, and for the adventurous, a hike up Big Daddy, the tallest dune in the region, offering breathtaking views of the sand sea that is the Namib Desert. By midday, we make our way back towards Sesriem with a stop at Sesriem Canyon, a small but important landmark for both the human and animal residents of the area. We then make our way back towards our accommodation where we have time to rest and relax before dinner.

Day 3

Day 3: Sossusvlei – Windhoek (Accommodation at own cost) After a leisurely breakfast you will head back to Windhoek via a different route than you came with. Arrival time is usually in the mid afternoon where you will be dropped back at your accommodation or the airport.
