After landing at Walvis Bay Airport, you will be welcomed by a representative who will transfer you to Swakopmund Hotel and Entertainment Centre with the option of a short city orientation tour of Swakopmund en-route, if so desired.
After an early breakfast you will be collected at the Hotel by a representative and you will be transferred along the scenic coastal road to Walvis Bay for a The Marine Dune Day which provides you the ultimate combination of a leisure cruise to look for dolphins and seals etc on the Atlantic Ocean, a delicious lunch on the beach or in the dunes, and a 4×4 ride in the breath taking views of Sandwich Harbour Area of the Namib Naukluft Park. On the marine cruise you will get a chance to see pelicans, seals, the Walvis Bay Harbour, an old shipwreck, dolphins and – during season – even whales and turtles!
This morning you will rise early for a magical excursion into the Namib Naukluft National Park, entering the Park gates at sunrise to capture the dunes whilst the light is soft and shadows accentuate their towering shapes and curves. This area boasts some of the highest free-standing sand dunes in the world. Your local guide will give you an insight on the formation of the Namib Desert and its myriad of fascinating creatures and plants that have adapted to survive these harsh environs. Once you have explored the areas around Sossusvlei and Deadvlei to your hearts content you can enjoy a relaxing picnic breakfast in the shade of a camel thorn tree. Return to Sossusvlei Desert Lodge in the early afternoon for a late lunch, stopping off to view Sesriem Canyon along the way.
