Sossusvlei

At sunrise, we drive through the Sesriem Gate to the spectacular Sossusvlei. We start with climbing the picturesque Dune 45, experiencing the beauty and vastness of the orange-colored landscape. We have an off-road drive to the surreal Dead Vlei, a vast desert pan where dried-up, ancient acacias stand silent in the impressive, open-air gallery. If you wish, you can climb "Big Daddy" or "Big Mama". The 360-degree panoramic views of the "Sand Sea" are incredible! Sossusvlei and Dead Vlei are considered some of the most photogenic places on Earth! After lunch, we visit the Sesriem Canyon and Elim Dune. En route, you can observe occasional wildlife, such as ostriches, oryx, bat-eared foxes, springboks, possibly cheetahs and various birds inhabiting the desert. In the afternoon, it is time for rest and relaxation in the quiet atmosphere of Namib. Recommended optional activities include a helicopter flight over the dunes.

Windhoek

After breakfast, we depart to Windhoek through the scenic Spreetshoogte Pass. We arrive at the capital before lunch. We will drop you off at the hotel/lodge of your choice.
