After a leisurely breakfast we drive to Walvis Bay and sail the Catamaran, a boat cruise viewing seals and sea life in the cold Atlantic Ocean. The area of the Namib Desert around Swakopmund is named the West Coast Recreational Area. And recreation is the town’s number one tourists pulling factor. There are countless pursuits to help you spend your time, and money. Often referred to as little Germany in Namibia, here you will find many references of the German colonial period.

DAY 7 – SWAKOPMUND – SOSSUSVLEI

Early this morning, we head to Sossusvlei on C14 road. Situated in the largest conservation area in Africa (the NamibNaukluft National Park), Sossusvlei is possibly Namibia’s most spectacular and best-known attraction. Characterised by the large red dunes that surround it, Sossusvlei has a large, white, salt and clay pan and is a great destination all year round. The dunes in this area are some of the highest in the world, reaching almost 400 meters, and provide photographic enthusiasts with wonderful images in the beautiful morning and evening light.

DAY 8 – SOSSUSVLEI 

Dead Vlei is the highlight of the park early morning we have breakfast at Dune 45, which means it is 45 km into the Naukluft Park. We will also visit Dead vlei and view the Big Daddy Dune that is right behind Dead Vlei. In the afternoon we will chill by the cool swimming pool. Sossusvlei is the name of an enormous clay pan, flanked by the famous sand dunes that flush red in the early morning sun – as well as the name of the area in general. Close to the Sossusvlei pan is Dead Vlei, another pan where water once flowed, but now all that remains are the skeletons of trees reach up out of the cracked earth.
