Car Rental,Accommodation, Breakfast
Destination:
Sossusvlei
Accommodation:
Desert Camp
Possible Activities:

Red dunes that are separated by sharp lines, and their contrast with an eye blinding white salt pan and dead black trees at Deadvlei: it almost looks surreal! Climbing one of world’s highest dunes will be very rewarding, especially during an early sunrise or late sunset. A nature drive or a visit to Sesriem Canyon are good ways to explore the surrounding area.

The coastal town of Swakopmund is still showing some influence of colonial times represented in architecture and language. It is a small village with a small but pleasant boulevard with some nice restaurants and terraces and several lunch rooms with an international taste like Village Café.

Destination:
Swakopmund

Although Swakopmund itself is an urban area, it is surrounded by nature, offering plenty of experiences for nature lovers and for thrill seekers: a kayaking tour or catamaran cruise to meet seals, pelicans and maybe even dolphins! Adrenaline seekers can take a sand board or quad bike and go into the dunes. A “living desert tour“ is a great way to get more understanding of the miraculous way in which life adapts to the harsh conditions of the desert climate.

Before leaving the coast, visit the seal colony of Cape Cross. Seals are all over lying along the coastline and are playing in the waves for as far as you can see! When heading north, the landscape changes when entering beautiful Damaraland, where an enormous mountain emerges: the Brandberg. It is the highest mountain of Namibia and best known for its ancient “White Lady“ rock painting. The ancient landscape is scattered with giant boulders that hide the area’s main secret: the more than 2,500 rock engravings of Twyfelfontein. Once made by the San people, these engravings informed San tribesmen about nearby waterholes and predators. If you are lucky, you might bump into the largest inhabitants of the area, the mysterious desert elephants. These beautiful animals have remarkably adapted to the harsh conditions of the desert.
