Day 2 Desert Camp, nr Namib Naukluft Park - 1night accommodation only
Recommend dawn departure from camp to arrive at the park gate for sunrise, this is only about 3kms away, collect your entry permit and from here drive through to the dune sea. Explore this unique area on foot before heading into Dead Vlei with its large expanse of bleached cracked clay and skeletal camel thorn trees, contrasting with a backdrop of huge dunes with their ever-changing colours. Please note the last 5kms section is 4x4 and as many people get stuck we do recommend you walk or take the shuttle and avoid any possible damage to the vehicle. Overnight in a twin share permanent tent. Accommodation only as above.

Day 3 Brigadoon Guesthouse, Swakopmund - 1night bed & breakfast
Leave early this morning for your drive to Swakopmund, heading across the Gaub and Kuiseb passes towards Walvis Bay. You may like to stop here and take a look at the lagoon, a RAMSAR protected wetland site, home to many different aquatic birds such as flamingo, pelicans, cormorant, avocets, the endemic Damara tern and many more. Should you arrive early enough you may have time to take part in one of the optional activities such as an afternoon scenic flight over the dunes of Sossusvlei, to the coast to see shipwrecks, old diamond mines, dunes falling into the ocean as well as seal colonies, flamingos etc. This flight really gives a different perspective of the area you have already seen from land. Alternatively, you can enjoy quad biking, tandem sky diving etc. Overnight is in a twin/double room on a bed and breakfast basis, all other meals will be at client's expense. |
