Day 2 Windhoek - Sossusvlei
Today, we take the snaking roads through mountains and via the town of Rehoboth, home to Namibia’s Baster community, before heading for one of Namibia’s top touristic attractions, Sossusvlei with its red dunes, and our lodge for the next two nights. Dinner is served under the Namibian Sky. Meals included: B,DDay 3 Sossusvlei
An early rise this morning for an exciting day exploring Sossusvlei. Considered some of the tallest dunes in the world, these monumentally high star shaped dunes are a sought-after destination. The hues constantly change with the sun rising from deep apricot to warm red and all shades in between. As the sun rises above the soaring dunes, admire the views as we eat our breakfast in these wonderful surroundings. You will have the opportunity to climb these awesome dunes and explore the Deadvlei before we continue towards Sesriem Canyon and return to the lodge for an afternoon of relaxation. Meals included: B,DDay 4 Sossusvlei - Swakopmund
The coastal area of Namibia awaits our discovery today. A journey that takes us via the Kuiseb Pass and onto the Walvis Bay Lagoon, a site famous for the thousands of flamingos that live there. We then make our way to our coastal hotel via a beautiful stretch of road that has the cold Atlantic on the left of us, and the towering dunes on our right. Dinner in Swakopmund this evening will be at the converted oil-fired Danie Hugo tug boat restaurant, aptly named The Tug, constructed in the ship yards of Port Glasgow Scotland. Meals included: B,DDay 5 Swakopmund - at Leisure
Today is free for you to spend relaxing. Alternatively, why not join our optional dolphin and seal catamaran cruise from the nearby town of Walvis Bay – sure to be a truly memorable experience. You will also have the chance to join the optional Living Desert Tour, a unique 4x4 adventure drive through the nearby dunes to introduce you to the flora and fauna that survives in this inhospitable landscape. Meals included: BDay 6 Damaraland
Heading north along the coastline of the Skeleton Coast this morning, we call at Henties Bay, a popular Holiday resort for the locals, before moving inland towards Damaraland, a seemingly lifeless part of the country, but home to the desert adapted rhino and elephant. Prehistoric water courses with open plains and grassland, massive granite hills and deep gorges make up what is without doubt one of Namibia’s most scenic areas. Spend the rest of the day relaxing at your lodge.
This evening we'll gather for a meal made using fresh ingredients from the lodge's gardens.
