Day 1 Windhoek – Namib Desert Camp (350 km) (LD)
(camping)
You will be collected between 08:00 & 08:30
We travel out over the Eros Mountains and along scenic roads, on
our way south-west to the desert. We also pass over part of the
Naukluft Mountains the Khomas Hochland range on our journey today
and head down from Namibia’s central plateau by way of the
beautiful Remhoogte Pass.
Coming out of the mountains we reach open plains and from here it
is only a short distance to our next stop, the tiny town of Solitaire.
We will stop here for some refreshments before continuing on through
desert scenery.
We cross some open grass savannah and farmlands before the terrain
begins to give way to the immense red sand dune desert of the Namib.
We aim to arrive at our camp during the late afternoon and watch
the colours glow and change on distant mountains to the east.
Day 2 Namib Desert Camp – Sossusvlei - Namib Desert
Camp (camping) (BLD)
A pre dawn start is essential this morning as we want to catch the
soft light of the sunrise on the desert. After passing through Sesriem,
the gateway to the dunes and driving into the heart of the dune
field, we reach Sossusvlei itself by walking the last 5 km through
the dunes.
The walk is like nothing else, in the cool of the morning, with
soft sunlight just beginning to play over the dunes creating a sharp
light and shadow contrast across the whole desert.
Ancient mineral pans, stunted camel thorn trees and the chance of
seeing a gemsbok or maybe an ostrich make the photo opportunities
perfect.
We spend the morning in and around Sossusvlei, also visiting dune
45, and as the day wears on we return to Sesriem for lunch to escape
the heat of the afternoon. As the day cools off in the late afternoon
we will take a short excursion to the Sesriem
Day 3 Namib Desert Camp - Windhoek (450 km) (BL)
After breakfast we begin our journey, over the mountains
and along scenic roads, back to Windhoek. We will travel back by
different roads, this time climbing up to Windhoek and travelling
by way of the massive Gamsberg Pass in the Khomas Hochland Mountain
Range on our way back to civilization.
We are due back into the city around 16:00 and you will be dropped
off at your accommodation on our return.
