A day-by-day breakdown of what to expect and where you'll be staying.


/images/flickr/Photo_of_Windhoek_Namibia/3351140836_s.jpg

Day 1, Windhoek to Fish River Canyon (via Keetmanshoop)

A long drive ahead as we travel south towards the Quiver Tree Forest near Keetmanshoop. Quiver trees are not in fact trees, they are a type of aloe, and these weird looking plants, although rare, cover the landscape in this region. Further south we reach the famous Fish River Canyon and spend some time looking out over this beautiful scene before heading to tonight's stop.

Day 2, Fish River Canyon to Aus

This morning we head to the 2nd biggest canyon in the world - Fish River Canyon where we partake in an optional walk along the rim before we proceed on to the Aus region.

Day 3, Aus to Aus (via Luderitz)

The short drive to Luderits takes us through the territory of the unique Namib wild horses so keep your cameras ready. Reaching Kolmanskop, just outside of Luderitz, we get some insight into this old, and now abandoned, diamond mining 'ghost town'. We then have time to explore Ludertiz itself before returning to Aus via the 'Forbidden Zone' (where diamonds were collected straight off the ground during the 1920's and 30's).

Day 4, Aus to Sesriem

From the Aus region we are off to the oldest desert on the planet which is found at the Namib Naukluft National Park. The giant sand dunes of Sossusvlei are close by. These are the highest sand dunes in the world and there are plenty of adventure activities to engage in!

/images/flickr/Photo_of_Sesriem_Namibia/3346040347_s.jpg

Day 5, Sesriem to Sesriem (via Sossusvlei)

An early start as we enter into the park and head for Dune 45. Clamber to the top for a stunning high-point view over the dunes. We continue to Sossusvlei and from here you will have your own free time to explore the vlei or the surrounding area. Stunning photographic opportunities are available in the dunes so bring those cameras!!

Day 6, Sesriem to Windhoek

After watching the sunrise across this beautiful area we leave the serenity of the dunes and head north to Windhoek.
