Collection time is between 08:00 and 08:30 from any location in Windhoek. Departing the city, we journey through the scenic landscapes surrounding Windhoek, crossing both the Eros Mountains and the Khomas Hochland Range. As we descend from the central plateau, the scenery transforms into the vast, grassy savannahs of the Namib Desert.

En route, we pause at the quaint settlement of Solitaire—a perfect spot to stretch your legs, refuel, and perhaps enjoy some afternoon tea and the famous apple pie.

We aim to arrive at our comfortable lodge in the Sossusvlei area by early afternoon. Later, you’ll join a shared afternoon sundowner drive with the lodge, the perfect opportunity to soak in the stunning desert vistas as the sun sets over the dunes.

We make an early start to capture the soft light of sunrise over the desert. Departing our lodge before dawn, we head to the Sesriem entrance gate, ready to enter the park as soon as it opens at sunrise.

In the cool morning air, we journey through the Namib Desert, keeping an eye out for wildlife such as gemsbok, springbok, and ostrich.

Our first stop is the iconic Dune 45, a beautiful star dune rising over 170 meters. Adventurous guests can climb to the top for breathtaking panoramic views of the desert landscape.

We then continue to the heart of Sossusvlei, a spectacular region of towering red dunes and stark white pans set against a deep blue sky. Here, we visit the famous Deadvlei, a striking clay pan dotted with ancient, skeletal camelthorn trees—an unforgettable sight and a photographer’s dream.
