African Safari Itinerary |
|
|
Day 1: Sossusvlei Safari
Guests are met at any location of their choice in either Johannesburg or Pretoria from where they are transferred to O.R. Tambo International Airport for a flight to Windhoek and from there a light charter flight to Sossusvlei. Sossusvlei is a mud pan created by a river that flows through the Namib every 5 to 10 years. Even in very wet years it does not reach the Atlantic Ocean but drains away between the dunes of Sossusvlei. Sossus means "place of no return".
The Namib – known as ‘The Living Desert’ – is a world of vast space, endless horizons, dramatic desert landscapes and jagged mountain heights. Led by Sossusvlei’s expert rangers and naturalists, the afternoon is devoted to exploring the desert landscape on open 4X4 vehicles. |
| Overnight: Kulala Desert Lodge |

| Meals: Dinner |

Day 2: Sossusvlei Safari
The morning is devoted to an excursion to the famous Sossusvlei Sand dunes, the highest in the world and Sesriem Canyon. The name 'Sossusvlei' applies to an area that encompasses the great plain of the Tsauchab River together with the red dunes that march along like giant sentinels to the south and north of the plain. Then it’s on to Sesriem Canyon. The canyon begins as an almost imperceptible but nevertheless deep cleft in level, stony ground, and then widens until it finally flattens out onto the plain. Because it is so deep and sheltered, it often holds water well into the dry season. An invigorating sight in such a barren and stark environment. During the afternoon we return to the lodge and after some time for relaxation the area is explored by quad bike. |
| Overnight: Kulala Desert Lodge |
|
| Meals: Full Board |
|
Day 3: Sossusvlei Safari
The activities of the day revolve around early morning guided nature drives to the spectacular dunes of Sossusvlei through the private gate on the Tsauchab River. World-famous Sossusvlei is an enormous clay pan, flanked by the famous red sand dunes that stand out starkly against the blue sky. These dunes have developed over millions of years, the wind continuously transforming the contours of this red sand sea. The 'vlei' itself only fills after rare, heavy rainfalls when, in a complete turn-around, it becomes a spectacular turquoise lake. |
| Overnight: Kulala Desert Lodge |

Tambo International airport and are transferred to any location of their choice in either Johannesburg or Pretoria. |
