The Namib Desert

Your guide will pick you up either from the airport or accommodation in Windhoek. You will drive to the Namib Desert past some scenic areas that may include mountain passes and private game farms. Upon arrival and checking in, you will embark on a late afternoon desert sundowner game drive around the private game reserve. Typical desert-adapted wildlife that can be spotted includes the oryx, springbok, black-backed jackal, bat-eared fox and Cape fox among others. The special endemic birds include the dune lark, Ruppell's korhaan, and Ludwig's bustard among others.

After enjoying the sundowner drinks at a lovely spot as an introduction to the Namib Desert, you will be driven back to the lodge for dinner.

The Namib Desert

An early morning start will see us getting into the Namib Naukluft Park. The early morning light shining on the red sand dunes gives one great photographic opportunities and memories of the magnificent Namib Desert. The Namib Naukluft Park is the third-largest national park in Africa, covering an area of 50,000 km2. The Namib Desert has been arid for about 80 million years, with true desert conditions predominating the last 15 to 20 million years. Various desert-adapted wildlife thrive in this area. We will visit the most photographed sand dune in the area, Dune 45. Depending on your energy levels, climbing one of the highest sand dunes in the area, the Big Daddy, is quite fun. A visit to Dead Vlei is worthwhile. This is a white clay pan with dry camel thorn trees that are believed to have been dead for 800 years. After a visit to Sossusvlei, we will then visit the Sesriem Canyon before relaxing at the lodge in the afternoon.
