Windhoek to Namib Desert

You will be met at your establishment in the capital just before 2:00 pm(during Namibian wintertime – 1:00 pm). You'll depart from Windhoek and first pass the Kupferberg Pass or pass Namibia’s harbour town Walvis Bay. For those travelling from Windhoek, you'll drive along cattle farmland and see a few farmhouses along the way. The landscape is hilly. You will enjoy some nice views over fertile valleys. As you continue, the vegetation changes and the farmland is used for sheep and goat farming. You will take the turn via the scenic and steep Spreetshoogte Pass. You will be enjoying an undisturbed view on top of one of the steepest passes in Namibia! You will stop at the small settlement Solitaire and continue to the beautifully set Soft Adventure Camp located on the private nature reserve: Nam Nau Habitat, which hosts a variety of desert-adapted game like springboks, ostriches, earth wolfs, bat-eared foxes and many more.

Sossusvlei

You will have an early morning rise with a snack before leaving enabling you to arrive at Sesriem, the park’s gate at around sunrise. The route leads along and also across the Tsauchab dry riverbed, which has found a way through the dunes until it reaches the clay pan—the Sossusvlei. Your first stop will be at Dune 45 before you continue to the Sossusvlei. You'll climb one of the dunes (there are plenty) and you might be overwhelmed by the sight of the dynamic and living desert! Breakfast will be served in the form of a picnic under one of the shady camel thorn trees before you continue to the base of the ‘Dead Vlei.’ It is quite a walk over patches of dunes that are crossing your way. But it is worth the effort! You will visit the Sesriem Canyon, a 30-meter-deep rift before you return to the Soft Adventure Camp for a late lunch. During the late afternoon, a sundowner drive to the natural Marble Mountains on this 25,000-ha private nature reserve is included.
