You will experience some great scenery as you drive via the Kuiseb Canyon and Ghaub Pass before stopping at the Tropic of Capricorn for photo opportunities and then on to Solitaire to refuel. Your guide will provide a light lunch on board. After arriving at the camp late afternoon, you will have time for a short walk to view the beautiful sunset over the Naukluft Mountains.

Our departure starts at dawn from the camp to arrive at the park gate for sunrise. We drive down an ancient river bed surrounded by towering dunes to the 2×4 parking (around 55 kms) and take a 4×4 shuttle into the Sossusvlei area where the early morning light provides excellent opportunities for photography coupled with appreciation and enjoyment of the area. Prior to heading into the Dead Vlei, we explore this region on foot and later take the 4×4 shuttle or walk back to our vehicle. As we drive back to our accommodation we will stop at the famous Dune 45 and climb this dune if we wish or just wander around the base. We return to Sesriem and visit the nearby Sesriem Canyon, before arriving back at our lodge late afternoon to watch the sunset over this spectacular desert. Overnight in twin share rooms or permanent tents with en-suite bathrooms. Dinner is prepared by your guide.

An early morning breakfast can be enjoyed before heading to Solitaire Guest Farm where we join a biologist to learn about the cheetah at the N/a’ankuse Namib Conservation Centre on an enjoyable 1 hour drive in a 4×4 vehicle with an experienced guide. This is an amazing chance to photograph the worlds fastest land mammals whilst supporting this conservation initiative. We later return to Windhoek via Bullsport and Rehoboth and arrive mid-afternoon when you will be dropped at your accommodation. For those that choose to fly today, NO FLIGHTS DEPARTING PRIOR TO 17H00 in case there are unexpected delays returning from safari.
