Sossusvlei Dune Tour - 3 Days

05 December 2011 Last Updated on 12 December 2011 administrator

Soussusvlei - Land on spectacular sand sunes and magical pannoramic views.

Climbing some of the highest sand dunes in Namibia is no easy task, but well worth the effort it takes, as views from atop the dunes, some being over 150 meters high, is one of the most rewarding experiences to be had in the Namibian desert landscape.

Many a poet, author and artist have, through written word and painted scenes, tried to capture the emmence beauty and magical presence of the area, but nothing can beat first hand experience.

  • Day 1: Windhoek – Sesriem area:
    Guest will be collected at your Windhoek accommodation between 08:00 & 08:30. 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, which are of particular interest for the ancient geological history of this part of the country. Heading down from Namibia’s central plateau by way of the beautiful Remhoogte Pass, we reach open plains and the tiny settlement of Solitaire.

    We cross some open grass savannah and farmlands before the terrain gives way to the immense red sand dune desert of the Namib. We aim to arrive at our camp during the late afternoon and watch the colours glow and change on distant mountains to the east

    Overnight here in a chalet. Included Dinner, Bed & Breakfast
  • Day 2: Sesriem/Sossusvlei Area:
    A pre-dawn start is essential this morning as we will catch the soft light of the sunrise on the desert sunrise at Dune 45. This gives you a great opportunity to see the subtle colours of the morning sun over the world’s highest dunes at Sossusvlei are definitely worthwhile.
    Landscape photo opportunities abound in the cool of the morning, with dawn's soft light first illuminating the dunes from crest down the back slope, then blazing orange everywhere, creating a powerful contrasting vista across the whole desert. Ancient mineral pans, stunted camel thorn trees and the chance of seeing a gemsbok or ostrich makes it essential to remember your camera!

    We spend the morning in and around Sossusvlei, also visiting dune 45. As the day wears on we return to Sesriem for lunch, escaping the heat of the afternoon. As the day cools off in the late afternoon we will take a short excursion to the Sesriem Canyon.
