Visit the Namib Naukluft National Park to witness the amazing landscapes of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei. The vleis are clay pans formed by the occasional flooding of the Tsauchab River. Sossusvlei is dotted with ancient Camel Thorn trees (Acacia erioloba) while the trees on Deadvlei are lifeless and stark against the surrounding tall orange sand dunes

Swakopmund lies on the Atlantic coast, and the relative cool sea breezes will be a welcome change from the hot desert days. The town lies at the mouth of the Kuiseb River which flows infrequently, but forms the northern boundary of the relentlessly northward migrating sand dunes.

We head inland to the Tsiseb Conservancy and the Brandberg, a mountainous granite outcrop.
Standing at over 2,600m it towers above the surrounding plains and is visible from a great
distance. The Tsisab Ravine at the foot of the mountain contains more than 1000 rock shelters and some 45,000 rock paintings including the famous “White Lady”, which is a short 40 minute
walk up the ancient watercourse.
Our lodge, situated in the dry Ugab River valley, is ideally situated to explore the area in search of the rare desert elephants and we’ll join a local guide on a 4WD excursion. Being far ranging and elusive, a sighting of the elephants cannot be guaranteed, but with the knowledge of our local guide the day will be fascinating

The salt pan in Etosha is the remnants of a large lake that dried up thousands of years ago. This
“Great White Place” is 120km wide and forms the central attraction in the National Park. Natural springs and waterholes around the edges provide life giving water that sustains the wildlife in this otherwise arid area.
Elephants coated in the white salt dust from the pan make for extraordinary
photos. Our camp is located on the edge of a floodlit waterhole allowing us to get a glimpse of
the nocturnal animals that come to drink, including the rare black rhino, lion and possibly
leopard. We enjoy the evening sitting at the waterhole in anticipation.
