Day 1

Windhoek to Namib-Naukluft

Windhoek to Namib-Naukluft

You will be met at your establishment in the capital just before 14h00. Depart from Windhoek and we’ll first pass the Kupferberg Pass. We'll drive along cattle farmland and see a few farmhouses along the way. The landscape is hilly and we can enjoy some nice views over fertile valleys. As we continue, the vegetation changes, and we'll see farmlands used for sheep and goat farming. We'll take the turn via the scenic and steep Spreetshoogte Pass. Enjoy an undisturbed view on top of one of the steepest passes in Namibia!

We will stop at the small settlement Solitaire and continue to the beautifully set Namib Naukluft Lodge and Soft Adventure Camp. Both establishments are located on the private nature reserve NamNau Habitat, which hosts a variety of desert-adapted game, such as springbok, ostrich, aardwolf, bat-eared fox and many more.

Day 2

Namib Desert

Namib Desert

An early morning rise with a snack before leaving enables you to arrive at Sesriem, the park’s gate, at around sunrise. The early morning offers spectacular pastel colours in the star-shaped dunes. Your first stop will be at Dune 45 before we continue to Sossusvlei. 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 as a picnic under one of the shady camelthorn trees before you continue to the base of the "Dead Vlei." It is quite a walk over patches of dunes that cross your way. We will visit the Sesriem Canyon, a 30-metre-deep rift, before we return to our base, Namib Naukluft Lodge and 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.
