Start of the Adventure
You will be met by your explorations guide and begin your journey by driving 340 kilometres (211 miles), through the Khomas Hochland Mountains and down into the iconic Sossusvlei region. The driving time is approximately five hours. You will spend two nights at the Kulala Adventurer Camp with dome tents on a slightly raised wooden platform, covered in shade cloth, which are semi-permanent. The dome tents are well-ventilated with a mini veranda. Wooden beds with mattress and crisp linen, duvets, pillows, towels and amenities (soap, shower gel and conditioning shampoo) are provided. In addition, there is a coir mat (inside) and a 12v reading light. The tents are large enough to stand in and move easily. The camps aim to provide simple camping comfort that is serviced. There is an en-suite bathroom with a flush toilet, basin and shower—with hot and cold running water available whenever guests require it.
