Solitaire in Namib Desert
Your guide will pick you up either from the airport or accommodation in Windhoek. You will drive down to the south of the country and reside at Solitaire. In 1948, Willem Christoffel van Coller bought 33,000 hectares of land from the Southwest Administration (the government of Namibia at the time) for farming Karakul sheep. It is in the middle of nowhere, and until today, you may get some good apple pie. You'll embark on a sundowner drive in a private nature reserve as an introduction to the Namib Desert.

Various wildlife thriving in this area includes Gemsbok, Springbok, brown hyena, black-backed jackal, among others. The main attraction is the breathtaking red dunes, which are among some of the highest and oldest in the world. You will then take a scenic drive past Gaub and Kuiseb passes to Walvis Bay. On the second day, you will embark on a Catamaran tour and a Sandwich Harbour Tour in the afternoon. Depending on the time of the year and luck, one might encounter whales, dolphins, leatherback turtles, and seals on the Catamaran Tour.
