Again, we have a bit more time and can view the South in a little more detail. There will also be a few more opportunities for some fun activities.
We'll depart in either in Windhoek or somewhere nearby. Pick up will be between 8 and 9 a.m. Our first stop is at the Hardap dam, the largest dam in Namibia, were we'll have lunch in the resort restaurant overlooking some spectacular views of the dam and surrounding areas.
After lunch, we hit the road again and travel further south past Brucaros, a non-active volcanic crater, towards Keetmanshoop.
Our first overnight stop is at the Quiver Tree Forest Lodge were you can spend some time in the afternoon relaxing by the swimming pool or go for a walk to take in some of the breathtaking scenery.
Dinner will be served in the restaurant.
Day two kicks of with an early breakfast.
We are now heading to the Canyon Lodge. The accommodations at Canyon Lodge are unique with rooms nestled in between rocky outcrops.
After lunch, we'll head for the Fish River Canyon. The Fish River has carved it's way through the Namibian plains over millions of years forming what is today the second largest canyon in the world and one of the most spectacular sights in Namibia.
After our excursion, we'll return to the lodge for dinner and a few nightcaps under the African stars.
Breakfast is early to ensure an early departure.
Today our travels take us to Namibia's southern border to South Africa and the Orange River. After some photo opportunities we'll set a new course and head north towards the small town of Aus. Here we will have lunch at the hotel before setting of once more in a westerly direction towards the harbor town of Luderitz.
Time for some relaxing!
We'll check in at the Nest hotel, one of Namibia's finer hotels for some R & R.
We spend some time exploring the town, viewing some of the old colonial architecture. We will have lunch in one of the town restaurants before setting of for Kolmanskop.html">Kolmanskop, a ghost town only a short drive from Luderitz. Kolmanskop.html">Kolmanskop was once a bustling mining town founded in 1908 during the diamond rush. For the photography buffs - real atmosphere and great photo opportunities await you.
After exploring Kolmanskop.html">Kolmanskop, we'll head back to the comforts of the hotel.
Another early start to the day, since we'll be traveling many miles!
We will head toward Sesriemwhere we will check in at the Sossusvlei Karos Lodge.
Lunch in the restaurant and relaxing by the swimming pool will give you time to catch your breath, before we take it away again with the spectacular scenery of Sesriemcanyon. A slow drive via Dune 45 (where we stop for a well deserved sunset) will get us back to the lodge well in time for dinner.
We need to get up early next morning to be at the park gates as soon as they open for some of the most awesome photo opportunities at Sossus Vlei and Dead Vlei (by the way, the word "Vlei" is Afrikaans for valley) occur where the sun is washing the dunes in a never-ending array of colors. This will probably be one of the most unforgettable breakfasts of your life!
Return to the Lodge and have lunch in the restaurant. After lunch you're on your own (the poor guide will need a break by now!) and you can choose between a variety of activities - from Quad biking to Hot Air Balloon Trips.
From next to nothing, we are now headed for the capital, Windhoek.
