DAY 1: Windhoek to Namib Naukluft Park – Namibia

We depart from Windhoek driving over the scenic Khomas Hochland, one of the highest points in Namibia, offering spectacular views of the surrounding valleys.

We descend the steep slopes of the Gamsberg, the third highest mountain in Namibia, as we head towards the small village of Solitaire. We should spot the first of our game species en route to our guest farm, such as springbok, ostrich and Oryx. The first two nights on the Namib Desert Budget Lodge Safari are spent at a guest farm located on the edge of the Namib‐Naukluft Park. The Namib-Naukluft reserve covers about 50 000 sq km’s making it Namibia's biggest game reserve and one of the largest wilderness parks in Africa. The guest farm offers spectacular views of the wilderness surrounds, ideal for relaxing with sundowners at sunset.

DAY 2: Sossusvlei & Sesriem Canyon – Namibia

Today starts with a pre-dawn departure to the entrance gates of Sossusvlei, famous for its towering sand dunes, considered some of the highest in the world. We stop along the way to take photographs of the scenic sunrise over the red-orange dunes. Next we climb up the sand dunes for superb views up and down the Tsaucab River Canyon, which forms a valley between the tall sand dunes. Breakfast and coffee await you at the bottom of the dune in this beautiful desert setting.

A short drive after breakfast brings us to the starting point for our 2-hour walk into the striking Hiddenvlei area of Sossusvlei. On our way to the Sesriem Canyon we pause for lunch at Sesriem camp. We then visit the Sesriem Canyon, a gorge about a kilometre long and around 30 meters deep. Formed by the Tsauchab River about 2 million years ago this deep canyon reveals distinct sedimentary layers and features several muddy pools. After our visit to the unique Sesriem Canyon we head back to our guest farm on the edge of the park.
