Naukluft mountain range & the Namib Desert
You will enjoy your breakfast in the morning and thereafter picked up from the lodge & driven to Sesriem and the dunes of the Namib Desert. Travelling mostly on graded, gravel roads, you descend into the Naukluft Valley and its panoramic mountain vistas. The scenery remains stunning as you approach the easternmost edge of Namibia’s famed desert dunes, where sand and savannah meet. Free-roaming wildlife such as springbok, oryx and ostrich can often be seen from your lodge. Our aim is to provide plenty of time for you to soak up this harsh yet beautiful landscape, therefore we include a stay of two nights in the region.
