Day
1
We travel out over the Eros Mountains and along scenic roads,
on our way south-west to the desert. We also pass over part of
the Naukluft Mountains the Khomas Hochland range on our journey
today and head down from Namibia's central plateau by way of the
beautifull Remhoogte Pass. Coming out of the mountains we reach
open plains and from here it is only a short distance to our next
stop, the tiny town of Solitaire. We will stop here for some refreshments
before continuing on through desert scenery
We cross some open grass savannah and farmlands before the terrain
begins to give way to the immense red sand dune desert of the
Namib.
We aim to arrive at Sesriem during the late afternoon and we have
time to drive out to one of the nearby dunes to watch the colours
on distant mountains to the east, glow and change.
Driving time: approx. 5hrs (450 km)
Overnight: Sesriem.Communal ablutions / camping.Lunch and Dinner.
Day
2
A pre-dawn start to see the sunrise in the dunes. We drive a further
60 km into the desert and have our breakfast as the colours grow
across the landscape.
To reach Sossusvlei itself we walk for the last 5 km through the
dunes. The walk is like nothing else, in the cool of the morning,
with soft sunlight just beginning to play over the dunes creating
a sharp light and shadow contrast across the whole desert. Ancient
mineral pans, stunted camel horn trees and the chance of seeing
a gemsbok or maybe an ostrich make the photo opportunities perfect.
We spend the morning in and around Sossusvlei, also visiting "dune
45", and as the day wears on we return to Sesriem for lunch
and to escape the heat of the afternoon. As the day cools off
in the late afternoon we will take a short excursion to the Sesriem
Canyon.
Driving time: approx. 2hrs (150 km)
Overnight: Sesriem.Communal ablutions / camping.Breakfast, Lunch
and Dinner.
Day 3
After breakfast we begin our journey, over the mountains and along
scenic roads, back to Windhoek. We will travel back by different
roads, this time climbing up to Windhoek and travelling by way
of the massive Gamsberg Pass in the Khomas Hochland Mountain Range
on our way back to civilization.
We are due back into the city around 16:00 and you will be dropped
off at your accommodation on our return.
