Windhoek - Sossusvlei

We will collect you from your hotel at 8:00 AM and depart by 8:30 AM, traveling south toward the world-famous Sossusvlei via the picturesque Spreetshoogte Pass. Along the way, we’ll stop at a scenic viewpoint to admire the sweeping vistas of the Namib Desert, one of the oldest in the world. We’ll enjoy a relaxed lunch at the Solitaire Oasis, before continuing our journey to your lodge, arriving in the afternoon. As this is the hottest time of the day, we recommend spending some time cooling off by the pool or simply relaxing and taking in the tranquil desert surroundings.
An early night is advised, as tomorrow begins with a pre-dawn start to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the dunes.
