Sossusvlei Safari Tour Details
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
(BLD) (camping)
A pre dawn start is essential this morning as we want to catch the
soft light of the sunrise on the desert as we drive in. We will
arrive at the entrance to the dunes on sunrise and then travel through
the dune field as the sun is coming up. The light casts strong contrasts
of colour on the edges of the dunes and offers stunning views from
the dry river bed you travel through.
We reach Sossusvlei itself by walking the last 5 km through the
dunes. The walk is like nothing else, enjoying the changing light
and coolness of the morning. 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 Canyon.
Day3:
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.
