A nice dinner and an early bed time will endure that we have enough energies for the early start tomorrow.

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.

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.
