Day one
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 two
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 Canyon.
Day
three
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
