ITINERARY:
Day 1
Namib Naukluft Park
Departure is from Chameleon Guesthouse and Backpackers at 12h00 noon
(13h00 in Summer). 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 looking over the Naukluft mountain range. Overnight
is based in twin rooms or permanent tents with en-suite bathroom facilities.
Dinner prepared by your guide (D)
Day 2
Namib Naukluft Park – Sesriem - Sossusvlei
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 tranquillity 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. Overnight
in twin share rooms or permanent tents with en-suite bathrooms. Dinner
prepared by your guide. (BLD)

Rehoboth. We arrive prior to lunchtime where you will be dropped at your
