The Experience
What your day looks like
This short safari is the perfect solution for those clients with limited time available who are sporty and fans of landscape and nature. For this tour, our base is in the Sesriem area with accommodation at Desert Camp or Desert Quiver Camp with en suite facilities or twin rooms and stunning views across the mountains and desert. Here you get an opportunity to visit the Sesriem Canyon, one of the few permanent water sources available in Namibia, have a short walk to view the beautiful sunset over the Naukluft Mountains, climb the dunes if you wish or just wander around the base. This is definitely an excellent way to experience the amazing sand dune sea of the Namib and Sossusvlei region on this 3-day trip.

Day 2
Swakopmund
Sightseeing. We depart at dawn from camp to arrive at the park gate for sunrise. We drive down an ancient river bed surrounded by towering dunes to the 2x4 parking (around 55kms) and take a 4x4 shuttle into the Sossusvlei area to appreciate the beauty of this place in early morning light and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the region. We 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. We can either walk or take the 4x4 shuttle 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, one of the few permanent water sources before arriving back at our lodge late afternoon to watch the sunset over this spectacular desert.
