Sand, Stone Namibian Safari

Your Namibian Safari begins in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. After a morning drive through the scenic Namibian landscape, you will arrive at Waterberg Plateau National Park, a site known for its stunning red sandstone cliffs and rich biodiversity. Spend the day exploring the park’s diverse ecosystems, including guided walks through the lush, green plateau, where you might spot rare species like the black rhinoceros or the elusive Damara dik-dik. As the sun sets, enjoy a tranquil evening at your lodge, reflecting on the day’s discoveries.

On the second day, embark on a journey to one of Namibia’s most iconic natural landmarks—Dune 7. Towering over the surrounding desert at 1,256 feet, Dune 7 is the highest dune in Namibia. The next two days are dedicated to exploring this majestic desert landscape. Begin with a challenging yet rewarding climb to the summit of Dune 7, where you will be rewarded with panoramic views of the Namib Desert’s endless sea of sand. Afterward, indulge in activities such as sandboarding or simply enjoy the surreal beauty of the desert. Evenings are spent under the starry Namibian sky, a perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments.

The adventure continues as you head towards Sesriem, the gateway to the world-renowned Sossusvlei. For the next two days, immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Namib Desert. Visit the Sesriem Canyon, a natural wonder carved by centuries of erosion, and explore the towering dunes of Sossusvlei, including the famous Dead Vlei, a clay pan dotted with ancient, skeletal trees. The vibrant orange sands contrasted against the deep blue sky create a photographer’s paradise. In the evenings, relax at your lodge, savoring the serenity of the desert.

On the final day, after a morning of relaxation or a last exploration of the desert, you will begin your journey back to Windhoek. Reflect on the incredible landscapes, diverse wildlife, and unforgettable experiences that have marked your Namibian adventure. As you depart from Windhoek, carry with you the memories of a safari that has truly captured the essence of Namibia’s natural beauty.
