Upon arrival at Hosea Kutako International Airport, you will be welcomed by our representative and driven to Sossusvlei. Setting off in a safari vehicle with your private guide, you'll head southwest through the scenic Khomas Hochland highlands, down the Great Escarpment into the vast Namib Desert, stopping for a picnic lunch along the way. Towards mid-afternoon, you'll arrive at your accommodation for the next two nights. Activities include exploring the Sesriem Canyon and towering red Sossusvlei dunes with your guide, enjoying sunset drives and guided walks, or simply relaxing and enjoying the tranquil desert views from the lodge.
Wake up early, you'll head for the Sossusvlei with your guide before sunrise to see the dunes in the soft, shadowy morning light. These are some of the highest free-standing dunes in the world. Your guide will share insights on how this desert was formed and how the incredible variety of curious creatures, plants, and wildlife have adapted to these fierce conditions. You'll enjoy a picnic brunch under a shady camel-thorn tree with the option to explore Dune 45, Elim Dune, Sossusvlei, and Dead Vlei. You'll return to the lodge for a late lunch.
