The route takes you past the majestic Namib Naukluft Mountains near Büllsport before reaching the Namib with its combination of spectacular desert scenery and majestic mountains. The Namib Desert Lodge is set below an impressive ridge of fossilised sand dunes, formed 20 million years ago.

An early start to the day awaits. Much of the day is spent climbing the highest sand dunes in the world. Big Daddy offers a strenuous climb, but the view along the crest is completely worth it.

Exploration continues into the rugged Sesriem Canyon before returning to the lodge.

The cool and often misty town of Swakopmund, between the crashing Atlantic Ocean and the Namib Desert, perfectly balances the day’s journey. Old German architecture, wide streets and a plethora of restaurants, coffee and curio shops make this coastal town a joy to explore.
