ITINERARY:
Day 1
Windhoek – Namib Naukluft Park
You will be met by a company representative at your hotel in Windhoek and
transferred to Eros Airport for an early morning check-in and departure by light aircraft to
the Namib Desert. The approximate flying time is 1 hour 15 min.
Accommodation: Sossusvlei Lodge
Sossusvlei Lodge is situated at Sesriem, the entrance to the Namib Naukluft
Park and the dunes at Sossusvlei. The location of Sossusvlei Lodge makes it
the ideal lodge for visitors wanting to explore this section of the Namib
Desert. Sossusvlei Lodge is designed to be eco-friendly and the walls and
canvas roofs blend in to the spectacular scenery, and the flooring is cool
slate. The lights are supplied by solar energy. Comfort is provided by the
African furnishings with soft finishes, part of the art, culture and
traditional theme which decorates the Sossusvlei Lodge.
Depart from Sossusvlei Lodge in the late afternoon on a leisurely drive out
onto the lodge's private reserve. Watch the shadows lengthen as your guide
takes you out to a panoramic location where sundowner drinks will be served as
you relax and watch the spectacular sunset. Dinner can be eaten alfresco under
the star studded sky of the Namib Desert, and drinks can be bought at the
bushman painted bar.
Day 2
Namib Naukluft Park – Sesriem - Sossusvlei
An early start from the Lodge to enter the Namib-Naukluft Park at sunrise,
while the temperature is still mild and when the dune contrasts are at their
best. You will travel in one of our all-terrain URI Game viewer vehicles,
custom-built in Namibia for the Lodge, with your own specially trained guide
who will share all his knowledge of the area, the animals, the plant life and
much more with you. Regular stops are made on the ±60 kilometre drive down to
the Vlei to gain information or take in the vistas. At Dune 45, the more
energetic have the opportunity to climb to the upper ridge of the world's most
photographed dune. Further along, a gradual 2,6 kilometre round-trip walk up
to Dead Vlei is a must for the healthy visitors. Spend time in Sossusvlei
before returning to the Lodge approximately 5½ hours later in time for
luncheon. Refreshments are provided on the trip.
Accommodation: Sossusvlei Lodge
An optional extra ballooning safari can be reserved to provide an
unforgettable sunrise over the Namib Desert.
Day 3
Windhoek
After a scrumptious breakfast and check-out, your charter flight back to
Windhoek takes off; either continue directly to Windhoek International
Airport to connect with your departure flight or return to Eros Airport and
spend an additional night in Namibia's capital city before your final
departure.
