DETAILED PROGRAM
DAY 1: We depart towards the Namib Naukluft Park, travelling over the Khomas Hochland and down the steep gradients of the Gamsberg Pass, sometimes called the “Namibia’s Garden Route”. We should begin to see the first of our game species like springbok, ostrich and oryx on the way to our accommodation on a Guest Farm on the outskirts of the Namib Desert, where we will stay for 2 nights. (Meals Included: L, D)
DAY 2: Pre-dawn we depart to the entrance gates to Sossusvlei. We have nice opportunities to stop on the way next to the road for beautiful photographic moments capturing the sunrise on the Dunes. A climb up the sand dunes will give a superb view up and down of the Tsaucab River Canyon which forms the valley between the famous sand dunes. Your guide will set up breakfast and a nice cup of coffee at the bottom of the dune. After breakfast we take a short drive to the parking lot where you will undertake a 2 hour walk through to the beautiful Hiddenvlei in the Sossusvlei Area. We stop for lunch at Sesriem camp, before returning to our Guest Farm we explore the Sesriem Canyon by foot. (Meals Included: B, L, D)
DAY 3: Some scientists regard the Namib Desert as the oldest in the world. We will travel via the Kuiseb Canyon, home to two Germans and their dog for two years during World War 2. We include a visit to the Walvis Bay lagoon, famous for its huge numbers of flamingos. It’s a 5 hour scenic drive to the coast, arriving in Swakopmund for the next 2 nights. (Meals Included: B, L)
