Walk across the cracked, white claypans of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei, surrounded by powdery orange sand dunes under bright blue skies. Go on to explore the geological wonder of the Sesriem Canyon on foot and watch a spectacular desert sunset. Experience the solitude, open space and deep stillness of one of the most ancient deserts in the world, the vast Namib Desert of Namibia.
On this short Private Namibia Safari, you'll visit the Namib Desert in Namib-Naukluft Park with your own guide, travelling in a comfortable 4x4 safari vehicle. Stay at a charming desert guest farm where desert-adapted animals roam freely, gazing up at star-studded desert skies at night.
Welcome to Southern Africa! This Private Namibia Safari kicks off in the modern capital of Namibia, Windhoek. This morning your private tour guide collects you from your pre-tour accommodation in Windhoek.
From Windhoek, we travel southwest to the small town of Solitaire where we stop for lunch (own expense). This tiny hamlet on the fringes of the Namib Desert lies close to the Namib-Naukluft National Park. After lunch in Solitaire, we head to the guesthouse where we spend the next two nights. The guest farm borders on the Namib-Naukluft Park and is home to a variety of wild animals and desert-adapted plants. This afternoon you are free to explore the farm and look for resident wildlife, such as gemsbok, wildebeest and giraffe. Take a dip in the pool and enjoy sundowners while you soak up the desert scenery from this oasis-like retreat.
Wake up to the peaceful desert landscapes this morning before setting off for the nearby Namib-Naukluft National Park. One of the largest national parks in Africa, Namib-Naukluft encompasses large tracts of the ancient Namib Desert. Entering the park we drive to the famous Sossusvlei dunes and on to the saltpan of Sossusvlei. Here we take a walk in the desert to explore the Sossusvlei and Deadvlei pans. These bleached pans are scattered with tree-skeletons and surrounded by tall, orange sand dunes creating some of the most striking desert scenes on the planet.
After visiting the towering dunes of the Namib Desert, said to be the oldest desert in the world, we drive to Sesriem Canyon. Take a walk in the deep canyon eroded by the Tsaucab River over the ages to reveal layer-upon-layer of sedimentary rock. Then we return to our comfortable guest farm in the middle of nowhere and spend the afternoon relaxing.
Our final morning begins with breakfast and time to enjoy the open desert setting at the guest farm. Then it is time to pack up and drive back to the charming capital, Windhoek, via beautiful, rugged mountain passes.
Back in Windhoek this afternoon your safari guide drops you at the airport or your post-tour accommodation, concluding your memorable Private Namibia Safari.
Transport on this private tour of Namibia is in a 4x4 safari vehicle. For small tours with 2 guests a Toyota Hilux is used and for groups of 4-6 guests, a Toyota Landcruiser with a pop-up roof is used. The Toyota Landcruiser vehicles used for 4-6 passengers have been specially designed and customised for the rough roads of Namibia. The vehicles are fitted with six comfortable seats ensuring a window seat for every guest. Large sliding windows provide optimal views for wildlife photography and taking in the scenery. There is a bar fridge onboard to keep drinks cold as well as electric sockets for battery chargers.
The Private Namibia Desert Safari includes all breakfasts on tour and two dinners as per the itinerary. Lunches are not included in the tour price. All meals not listed as included on the itinerary will be for your own account. You will either be able to buy a lunch pack from the guesthouse or your guide will take you to a deli, bakery or shop where you can buy lunch.
This Private Namibia Safari stays at a mid-range lodge or guesthouse near the Namib-Naukluft National Park. Namibia has a good tourism infrastructure and relatively high standards of service in general, providing plenty of good quality options. Accommodation on this tour is clean and simple, yet comfortable offering twin double or single rooms with en suite facilities.
If the establishment specified on the itinerary is not available, accommodation of similar standards will be used. Although every effort is made to use substitute accommodation of the same standards, it may sometimes be necessary to use accommodation of a higher standard (at a small extra cost) when availability is an issue.
