6 DAY NAMIBIA EXPLORER (Book Now) (Accommodated Guided)
Info:
6 DAY – NAMIBIA EXPLORER Day 1: KALAHARI DESERT (B) Leaving Windhoek, we travel into the largest sand mass on earth, the Kalahari Desert. The bushman refer to it as the 'Soul of the World', an emotive description for this area! With its endless grass plains interspersed with Acacia's and shrubs, it is the only form of survival for a vast amount of wildlife and migrating bushman communities. Enjoy the opportunity to experience the fauna and flora that have survived this desert environment for thousands of years. Accommodation: Lodge Day 2: KALAHARI DESERT (B) We travel south through rocky plains, visit the unique Quiver Tree forests nestled amongst huge dolerite boulders, some stacked in such a mysterious way that it seems impossible that they were formed by natural forces. At our lodge we have time to enjoy a pleasant sundowner walk to an adjacent granite hill; from here, with a cold drink in hand, we can marvel at the spectacular scenery that surrounds us. Accommodation: Lodge Day 3: FISH RIVER CANYON (B) Our morning starts on the edge of the Fish River Canyon, where we gaze down 550 meters into this magnificent canyon itself, the second largest of its kind on earth! Thereafter we travel down the Great Escarpment into the wide plains of the Namib Desert, the scenery giving way to the shifting dunes of the Prohibited Diamond Area. Here we visit Diaz' Cross, before rounding off the day with a tour through Lüderitz and checking into our hotel for the evening. Accommodation: Hotel Day 4: SESRIEM & SOSUSVLEI (B) This morning the ghost town of Kolmanskop reminds us of the opulence and decadence of the diamond rush days. Now it stands barren to the harsh wind and heat of the unforgiving desert. We travel north through the pre-Namib to our lodge in the desert. This is the gateway to Sesriem Canyon and Sossusvlei, where some of the highest sand dunes on earth stand towering over the white desert plains. Accommodation: Lodge Day 5: SESRIEM & SOSUSVLEI (B) The first rays of sunrise paint the mountains of sand into a variety of apricot, red and orange, contrasted against a crisp blue skyline, enrapting our senses, and awarding us the opportunity to capture this awesome landscape on film. Sossusvlei, where the Tsauchab River Bed ends abruptly amongst majestic dunes, sees us walking up one of these dunes to admire the desert landscape. Thereafter we visit the Sesriem Canyon, a life sustaining natural phenomenon in the heart of the Namib Desert. Accommodation: Lodge Day 6: SWAKOPMUND (B) Travelling via the Gaub and Kuiseb Canyons visit the Welwitschia Plains and Moon Landscape before arriving in Swakopmund where the tour ends.Accommodation: Hotel
