Arrival
You'll be collected from the airport. Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.
Day 1
Swakopmund to Sesriem
There's the option for a leisurely start as you'll leave Swakopmund at 11:30 am. There are many opportunities to keep busy during the morning. Our guide will discuss all the options with you and will be able to facilitate any bookings that you would like to make. Departing at 11:30 am after being picked up from the airport or your accommodation, you'll head east into the desert. You'll first cross the Namib gravel plains and have two mountain passes to traverse this afternoon. You'll emerge from the mountains onto a flat road and almost immediately cross the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees. Your destination for today is Desert Camp, located very close to the national park entrance at Sesriem. You'll aim to arrive in the late afternoon. There will be time for a short walk to see the sun dip below the impressive Naukluft Mountains. NOTE: No single supplement will be charged if you are willing to share a room with another single traveler of the same sex. Driving time: ~4 1/2 hours.

Day 2
Sossusvlei
Sunrise in the dunes is the name of the game and that means a pre-dawn start and a very early breakfast. This is when you can see towering dunes illuminated a glowing orange, apricot red on one side, and swathed in shadow on the other. The valley you'll drive along this morning to get here is kept free of sand by the Tsauchab but Sossusvlei is now permanently waters end. There is a 4x4 shuttle service that will transport you through the sandy terrain of the riverbed. You will visit Dead Vlei, an ancient pan surrounded by dunes, that is strikingly populated with dead, skeletal camelthorn trees. You'll drive back the way you came, stopping at the iconic Dune 45, (so named as it is 45 km from Sesriem). There is time to climb Dune 45 if you still have energy, or perhaps just sitting in the shade at the base of the dune will suffice. Driving back to Sesriem, you'll take a short excursion to see the Sesriem Canyon. You'll head back to Desert Camp in the late afternoon.

Day 3
Windhoek
This is your last day but excitement is still on the menu. You'll head back to Solitaire and join an open vehicle to visit one of their local conservation projects, in this case, cheetah. Solitaire is home to several cheetahs that, for different reasons, are unable to be released back into the wild. After the activity, our guide will get you a sample of the apple pie that has made this homestead famous. There is some lovely mountain scenery on your drive back to Windhoek. The road climbs up onto and over Namibia’s central plateau. You'll return to Windhoek via the small community at BűellsPort and the small town of Rehoboth. You'll arrive mid-afternoon and will be dropped at Chameleon Backpackers, accommodation of your choice within Windhoek city limits or the airport. For those that choose to fly today, no flights departing before 7:00 pm in case of unexpected delays are returning from safari. Driving time: ~4 1/2 hours.
