Day 5
Windhoek
Windhoek
An early morning start will see us getting into the Namib Naukluft Park. Early morning light shining on the red sand dunes gives one great photographic opportunities and memories of the magnificent Namib Desert. The Namib desert has been arid for about 80 million years, with true desert conditions predominating the last 15 to 20 million years. Various wildlife thriving in this area includes Gemsbok, Springbok, Brown Hyaena, Black-backed Jackal among others. A visit to the Dead Vlei is a must. This a white clay pans with dry Camel Thorn trees that are believed to have been dead 800 years ago. The area is so dry that the trees have not decomposed. After a visit to the Sossusvlei we will then visit the Sesriem Canyon. It is about kilometer long and 30 (100ft) meters deep and might have some water, quite important for animals to drink it.
We will make our way to Windhoek. This marks the end of your trip.
