We will drive through the Khomas Highland and down the escarpment via one of the many scenic mountain passes into the Namib Desert. This journey will take about 4 to 5 hours, depending on the number of stops for photographs. We will certainly start seeing some of Namibia’s fantastic fauna and flora along the way, including Common Ostrich, Gemsbok, Pale Chanting Goshawk, Sociable Weavers or even a Greater Kudu.
We will reach our accommodation in the afternoon and if there is time it might be fun to walk around the lodge grounds looking for interesting smaller fauna and local flora. Our accommodation for tonight is in an area perfectly situated to explore the surrounding desert and its many attractions.

Morning Sossusvlei Excursion to Swakopmund
After an early breakfast we will depart for an exciting morning excursion to Sossusvlei and nearby Dead Vlei, where we will spend a couple of hours. Sossusvlei is where you will find the iconic red sand dunes of the Namib. The clear blue skies contrast with the giant red sand dunes to make this one of the natural wonders of Africa and a photographer’s heaven.
After lunch we will depart for the coastal town of Swakopmund, driving through the vast Namib-Naukluft Park to get there. It is a beautiful drive of about 4 hours, and if time allows we will stop for the famous Apple Pie in the small desert oasis town of Solitaire, a true Namibian tradition that should not be missed.

Sossusvlei itself is actually the pan or valley floor that we will park our vehicle on, and is surrounded by massive dunes on almost all sides. We will have plenty of time to enjoy some of the many highlights that surrounds Sossusvlei itself:
Dune 45- The most photographed dune on earth (situated 45 km past Sesriem on the road to Sossusvlei);
Hiddenvlei - Perfect if you are looking for solitude in the desert;
The magnificently tall Big Daddy dune;
Deadvlei- A paradise for photographers, as it is punctuated by blackened, dead acacia trees, in vivid contrast to the shiny white of the salty floor of the pan and the intense orange of the dunes;
Sesriem Canyon- A narrow gorge of 1 km long and up to 30 m deep slashed into the earth by the Tsauchab river millions of years ago. The name derives from the Afrikaans for the 6 lengths of ropes that were needed to haul water out of the gorge to the top with containers in days gone by.

It is a beautiful drive of about 4 hours, and if time allows we will stop for the famous Apple Pie in the small desert oasis town of Solitaire, a true Namibian tradition that should not be missed.
Our drive this afternoon is wholly in the Namib Sand Sea, one of Namibia’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is the only coastal desert in the world that includes extensive dune fields influenced by fog. Covering an area of over three million hectares, the site features gravel plains, coastal flats and rocky hills within the sand sea, a coastal lagoon and ephemeral rivers, resulting in a landscape of exceptional beauty. Fog is the primary source of water in the site, accounting for a unique environment in which endemic invertebrates, reptiles and mammals adapt to an ever-changing variety of microhabitats and ecological niches.
Swakopmund is a very popular holiday destination for many Namibians and will probably be the only place that you will visit on the Namibian safari that has a real town feel to it. We will spend the night at a hotel and have dinner at one of the top restaurants in Swakopmund. Please note that dinner tonight is not included in the package price and is for your own account.

We will encounter and learn more about the fascinating wildlife of the Namib Desert with the help of a local expert. We will look for geckos, scorpions, snakes, lizards, birds and beetles as well as the incredible plant life that survives in this harsh and seemingly inhospitable environment. Some of the special creatures we might see include Namib Sand Gecko, Namaqua Chameleon, Shovel-snouted Lizard, Tractrac Chat and even Peringuey’s or Horned Adder.
The Living Desert Tour is a unique 4x4 adventure which specializes in bringing the desert to life while sharing the awesome beauty of the Namib Desert with travellers from all over the world. The coastal dune belt may seem barren and lifeless to many people, but in fact it is alive with a fascinating variety of little desert adapted animals, which are able to survive on the life-giving fog which consistently rolls in from the cold Atlantic Ocean.
Come see the Dancing White Lady Spider (Carparachne aureoflava) cartwheel 44 turns per second down a dune to escape the enemy. Admire the transparent Namib Dune Gecko (Pachydactylus rangei) with webbed feet that are equivalent to snow shoes. Learn about the different beetles and insects and how they survive in the dune desert. Follow in the tracks of a legless Lizard (Fitsimmon’s Burrowing Skink), observe Sand Diving Lizards (Meroles Anchieta) dancing on the hot sand, Sidewinder Snakes (Perinquey’s Adder), Desert Chameleons and many more fascinating creatures. Learn about the geology, structure and formation of the desert, and admire the vast and beautiful landscapes while enjoying a scenic dune drive combined with fun and adrenalin.

Day 4: 23-Oct-2025
Swakopmund to Damaraland
Today we continue our safari northwards along the Skeleton Coast. This bleak and evocatively named area is one of the most unusual coastal wildernesses on the planet, protecting about a third of Namibia’s long coastline. It has a longstanding reputation of being a dangerous sea passage for sailors, and indeed the Portuguese sailors used to call this area the “Sand of Hell”, referring to the fact that even if one did survive a ship running aground, the harsh desert would almost certainly provide one’s final resting place.
We will be at our lodge in time for a sundowner drink while we enjoy the view over this rugged but beautiful landscape.

Nearby Burnt Mountain, a brilliantly coloured mountain of maroon, black & charcoal, a rock was formed 120 million years ago when a large sheet of black magma forced its way into carbonaceous shale.

A visit to the fossilized tree trunks is equally absorbing. The stone ‘trees’ lying on the ground are so well preserved they seem like logs. The Petrified Forest consists of at least 50 trees which are between 240 & 300 million years old.
Here you will also find one of the world’s botanical curiosities, the strange-looking Welwitschia. Although it does not resemble a tree at all, the Welwitschia is nevertheless classified as one, & much of its stem is underground. Only 2 leathery leaves of up to 8m long & 1,5m wide are produced on the gnarled stem, but the leaves are shredded by searing winds & extreme temperatures into a tangled mass, creating the impression of a multitude of leaves.

Sossusvlei
Nestled in the heart of the Namib Desert, Sossusvlei is a breathtaking natural gem that stirs the soul and heightens the senses. As the morning sun kisses the towering red dunes, casting enchanting shadows and vibrant shades of orange and gold over the desert expanse, visitors are treated to a mesmerizing display like no other. Here, it feels like time pauses, revealing the ancient splendor of the earth and enveloping all who wander here in a profound sense of peace.
Standing tall among the wonders of Sossusvlei are the massive sand dunes, with some reaching staggering heights of over 300 meters, ranking among the tallest globally. The renowned 'Big Daddy' dune beckons adventurers to conquer its steep slopes for a panoramic view of the desert below, while the more approachable 'Dune 45' offers a popular spot to witness the sunrise transforming the landscape into a kaleidoscope of colors.

For bird lovers, Sossusvlei serves as a haven waiting to be explored. The desert echoes with the calls of various birds, like the melodious crimson-breasted shrike and the distinctive sociable weaver. Spotting a bateleur eagle soaring high above the dunes is a sight that leaves an indelible mark on your memory long after departing this magical place.
To truly immerse yourself in Sossusvlei’s essence, consider joining a guided nature walk led by a knowledgeable local guide. This experience allows you to discover the unique flora and fauna that call this place home, while gaining insight into the delicate ecosystem that sustains life in the desert.
The optimal time to visit Sossusvlei is during the cooler months of May to September when temperatures are mild, and the air is crisp. This period offers ideal conditions for photography enthusiasts to capture the stark beauty of the desert in the gentle morning light or the fiery hues of sunset ablaze on the dunes.
As daylight wanes and the sun dips below the horizon, cloaking the desert in darkness, the sky unveils a blanket of a million sparkling stars—a sight both humbling and awe-inspiring. It is in these moments that the true enchantment of Sossusvlei becomes palpable, a realm where nature rules supreme, and the spirit roams free.
In the core of the Namib Desert lies a realm of unmatched beauty and wonder, where endless dunes stretch forth, and wildlife thrives against all odds.

The best time to visit Swakopmund is from May to September, offering mild weather for outdoor activities and ideal wildlife viewing opportunities. But even in the warmer months, the town's charm is irresistible, beckoning visitors to lose themselves in its natural beauty and diverse culture.
In Swakopmund, time seems to slow down as you immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes and the timeless spirit of the town. It's a place where history whispers in the wind, creating a sense of peace and wonder that will stay with you long after you leave. Visiting Swakopmund isn't just a trip—it's a soul-stirring experience that leaves a lasting impact on your heart and mind.

Etosha National Park
Nestled in the northwest corner of Namibia, you'll find a hidden gem for wildlife lovers - the breathtaking Etosha National Park. As a local guide and wildlife enthusiast, I can't wait to show you the wonders that this expansive and diverse wilderness has in store for you.
Picture yourself setting off on a journey through Etosha, where the earthy red soil stretches out in front of you, adorned with a variety of wildlife straight out of a nature show. The warm glow of the sun blankets the savannah, casting long shadows and creating an enchanting atmosphere unlike anywhere else on Earth.
One of the most special things about Etosha is its vibrant wildlife population. While exploring the park, you'll come across magnificent elephants roaming the plains, elegant giraffes reaching for the sky, and crafty predators like lions and leopards stealthily hunting their prey. But the real stars of Etosha are the countless bird species that call this place home. From colorful Lilac-breasted Rollers to majestic Kori Bustards, the park resonates with the melodic tunes of birdcalls and the dance of vibrant wings.
As you venture further into Etosha, you'll be mesmerized by the sight of the glistening Etosha Pan, a vast salt flat that dominates the park's scenery. Extending endlessly, this surreal landscape is a sight to behold, especially during the dry season when it attracts wildlife in search of water. Imagine herds of zebra and springbok gathering around the pan, their reflections shimmering on the mirror-like surface as they quench their thirst in this striking yet captivating environment.
To fully immerse yourself in Etosha's magic, there are various activities you can enjoy. Take a leisurely game drive guided by knowledgeable rangers who will share intriguing facts about the flora and fauna. Or opt for a guided walking safari to witness the ecosystem up close, from tiny insects to towering acacia trees that adorn the land.
The prime time to visit Etosha National Park is during the dry season from May to October. This is when animals flock to water sources, creating fantastic opportunities for game viewing. The milder temperatures also make safari adventures more comfortable, allowing you to observe wildlife for hours without being overwhelmed by the African heat.
In essence, Etosha National Park is a realm of unmatched beauty and wildlife richness, with surprises waiting to be uncovered at every turn. From the vibrant pulse of the savannah to the serene allure of the salt flats, this park is a symphony of sights and sounds that will leave you marveling at the wonders of nature. So, pack your bags, venture into Etosha, and let its enchanting allure sweep you away on an adventure that will linger in your memories for years to come.
