Overview

Three unforgettable days in the heart of the Namib Desert. We leave Windhoek over the scenic Spreetshoogte Pass and settle into a lodge on the edge of the Namib-Naukluft Park, perfectly placed for an early start inside the park gates.

You'll be on Dune 45 or Big Daddy as the sun lights up the sand, explore the white clay pan of Deadvlei, and descend into the narrow walls of Sesriem Canyon in the afternoon.
