Day 5: Damaraland After breakfast this morning, we head directly west, through dry riverbeds and rocky plains, until we reach the edge of Damaraland, where the landscape suddenly changes into one of the most spectacular and dramatic in Namibia. Damaraland boasts magnificent desert scenery, fascinating geological formations, archaeological sites and a variety of desert fauna and flora. It is also the southernmost roaming ground for the rare Black Rhino and the ‘desert adapted Elephant’

Day 6

Day 6: Swakopmund After breakfast, we start the morning with a visit to Twyfelfontein world heritage site, where bushman communities engraved and painted over 2500 pictures some 6000 years ago. This will be before we reach the abandoned mining town of Uis. We will take a short break here to photograph the buildings and learn about the history of mining in Namibia, before continuing towards the Atlantic Coast.

Day 7

Day 7: Swakopmund After a relaxing breakfast we will depart for a Living Desert Adventure in the Namib Desert where we will learn more about the fauna and flora that have adapted to survive in this harsh but beautiful environment.  Once we are back in Swakopmund we enjoy lunch and then have the afternoon available to explore other optional activities that could be arranged include scenic flights over the coast and dunes.

Day 8

Namib-Naukluft

Day 8: Sossusvlei  After a hearty breakfast we will be in the vehicle and make our way south, via the Namib Naukluft Park as well as through the Kuiseb and Gaub Canyons. We will reach our accommodation as the sun is disappearing behind the horizon, painting the surrounding sand dunes flaming red. A nice dinner and an early bed time will endure that we have enough energies for the early start tomorrow.

Day 9

Namib-Naukluft

Day 9: Sossusvlei Today we will rise before the sun and will be in the vicinity of the world’s highest, sand dunes when the first rays appear over the horizon. From our accommodation, we drive in the ancient bed of the extinct Tsauchab River, climbing a few dunes and slowly making our way to the world famous Dead Vlei, where red dunes provide a breath-taking backdrop to centuries old, dry trees standing in the desert.

Day 10

Day 10: Departure Today we will make our way back to Windhoek. We plan to arrive in Windhoek by late afternoon and unless you have an evening flight home you will spend one night in a Hotel located in the centre of the city. This will be the perfect opportunity for some last minute curio shopping. This is the official end of our tour
