Namibia Desert and Dunes Luxury Safari Itinerary

Meal codes [B = Breakfast, L = Lunch, D = Dinner]

Day 1 WINDHOEK - SOSSUSVLEI [Bungalow LD]
This morning pick up is at 8h00 from your accommodation establishment. We begin our drive through the Khomas Hochland Mountains and take one of the many scenic routes where we will have the option to stop, enjoy a picnic lunch and relax while taking in the surrounding views before descending onto the desert floor.

We arrive at the our lodge mid afternoon, and the chance to wander around or take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool whilst enjoying the views within the park. We then have the option to visit the nearby Sesriem Canyon. While the canyon is considerably smaller than the mighty Fish River Canyon, its significance to its surrounding area is huge. As one of the few sources of permanent water in the desert area, its mere existence has sustained both animal and human life over the past hundreds of years.
We return to the lodge where you may like to take a walk or relax before witnessing one of the most spectacular sunsets over the desert you will ever see. A sumptuous dinner in the lodge before retiring to our luxurious bungalows for the night.

* Once a month a special full moon departure will be run, enabling you to have an evening guided tour of Sossusvlei to watch the sunset over the dunes and the subsequent full moon rise. A very unique opportunity. Contact us for full moon departure dates and prices.
Includes: N/A
Overnight: Luxurious bungalows

Day 2 WINDHOEK [Chalet BLD]
We depart the lodge early this morning for our guided excursion into the breath taking area of Sossusvlei. With an early morning excursion we are truly able to experience the natural beauty of this area as the first light casts dramatic shadows across the dunes.
We then experience this area on foot heading to Deadvlei where we appreciate the large expanse of bleached cracked clay and skeletal camel thorn trees, contrasting with a backdrop of huge dunes with their ever-changing colours. On our way back to the lodge we visit the famous dune 45, we can either climb it or we can wonder around its base.

We will enjoy a picnic lunch en-route back to Windhoek arriving late afternoon where you will be dropped at your accommodation.
