From the lodge you have an indescribable panoramic view of the endless plains and typical dunes of the Kalahari.

Today’s route will take you via Maltahöhe and the Tsaris Pass to your next accommodation, only about 40 km from the famous Namib Naukluft Park, which you will visit the next morning. A Little Sossus Lodge is surrounded by the Nubib, Tsaris and Naukluft Mountains, with views of the dunes to the west.

Dinner, Bed & Breakfast – A Little Sossus Lodge

In the early morning hours you will be taken on an excursion to the renowned Sossusvlei to some of the highest sand dunes in the world (300m). In the Dead Vlei you will find dead acacia trees, that are more than 500 years old, as they decay extremely slowly due to the dry climate. These gnarled old trunks in the foreground of the high dunes create an incredibly romantic picture. The local meaning of Sossus means 'place of no return' and the word vlei is an Afrikaans word for 'marsh. Afterwards, visit of the 18 million years old and 30 meters deep Sesriem Canyon on the way back to the Lodge. The canyon is small but very picturesque – many plants grow in the shade and shelter offered by the canyon, and water pools attract several species of birds and animals. The name Sesriem comes from Afrikaans and means "six-belt" in English. The early settlers had to tie six leather belts cut from Oryx skins together, to haul up buckets full of water from the canyon.

Afterwards you will proceed to the next Lodge. Barchan Dunes Retreat is situated at the foot of the breath-taking Spreetshoogte Pass on the beautiful outskirts of the Namib Desert.

Dinner, Bed & Breakfast – Barkhan Dune Retreat

After breakfast you will drive towards the coast via the Ghaub and the Kuiseb Canyons, finally arriving, after about 4 hours, at the quaint town Swakopmund in the afternoon. The most iconic symbol is the Swakopmund jetty, initially used as mooring for ships it later became a popular place for anglers and walkers, it has fallen into disrepair on numerous occasions and has been subject to several attempts to rescue it from complete dereliction.  Recently large-scale work has been completed on the jetty which now proudly boasts a small restaurant and bar area.

The Cornerstone Guesthouse is a small, private and peaceful Bed and Breakfast, just an easy walk to the beachfront and the town centre of Swakopmund. Optional activities like a Scenic flight to the Skeleton Coast or a Living Desert Tour are very popular.
