For those clients with limited time available, this short safari is the perfect solution, departing at mid-day on Friday from Windhoek and returning early afternoon on Sunday. Our base is in the Sesriem area with amazing views across the mountains and desert. An excellent way to experience the unique sand dune sea of the Namib and Sossusvlei region. Accommodation is provided in one of three lodges within 90km of the park gate, dependent on availability. All lodges have twin rooms or permanent style adobe tents with self-catering facilities.
Day 1 - Friday :
Depart Windhoek at 12 noon. Driving via Rehoboth and Naukluft we arrive at our camp late afternoon and have a chance to relax and enjoy the views before taking a short walk for sunset views over the Naukluft mountain range. Dinner prepared by your guide.
Overnight: Camp, Sossusvlei area. (D)
Day 2 - Saturday :
We depart at dawn from our camp, to arrive at the park gate for sunrise. Follow an ancient river bed surrounded by towering dunes to the 2x4 parking (around 55kms) and we then 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. 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.
You 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 so that you can climb this dune if you 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. Dinner prepared by your guide.
Overnight: Camp, Sossusvlei area. (BLD)
Day 3 - Sunday :
After a leisurely breakfast we return to Windhoek via Bullsport and Rehoboth. We arrive in Windhoek prior to lunchtime, where the tour ends. (B)
