Join this 3 day guided tour to discover this awe-inspiring landscape together with Deadvlei, where ancient skeletal camelthorn trees stand on guard with a backdrop of orange sand dunes and blue sky, and Sesriem Canyon, where centuries of erosion have incised a narrow gorge through the dramatic landscape.

Detailed itinerary

You will be met by your driver / guide at your Windhoek hotel / guesthouse at 14.00 hours. Leaving Windhoek pass the Kupferberg Pass as you drive though a landscape of cattle farms and farmhouses with great views over the fertile valleys. Continue via the scenic Spreetshoogte Pass and enjoy undisturbed views from the top of one of the steepest passes in Namibia! After a brief stop in Solitaire, continue to your choice of lodges, which are beautifully located on a private nature reserve north of Sesriem. The private reserve hosts a variety of desert adapted game such as springbok, ostrich, aardwolf, bat-eared fox and many more. Optional activities at the lodge include scenic nature drives and walking trails.

Stay at:
Standard - Soft Adventure Camp or similar
Upgrade - Namib Naukluft Lodge or similar

The best time to experience the Sossusvlei area is at sunrise when the new light paints the dunes and desert plains into a variety of deep reds, apricot and purple – a photographers dream come true! After an early wake up call you travel into the heart of the Namib Desert where you first stop will be at the photogenic Dune 45 before continuing to Sossusvlei. Experience the majestic yet tranquil Sossusvlei and the surreal Deadvlei on foot and take the opportunity to climb one of the dunes – there are plenty – and you might be overwhelmed by the sight of the dynamic and living desert. Enjoy a picnic brunch under the Camelthorn trees, before traveling back to your lodge via the gaping Sesriem Canyon. In the afternoon join a nature drive to the magnificent, natural Marble Mountain, where you can enjoy a sundowner drink (drinks not included in rate).
