Namibia 3 Day Sossusvlei Tour

The 3 Day Sossusvlei Link is a 3 day Camping tour with the following highlights:

* Spreedshootge Pass
* Namib Desert
* Sossusvlei Dunes
* Sesriem Gorge

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.

Driving time: approx. 5hrs (450 km)
