3-Day Sossusvlei Excursion from Windhoek with Big Daddy and Dune 45

• Guests will be collected from their lodgings in Windhoek at around 12h00.
• Your journey to the Namib Desert begins via the scenic Spreetshoogte Pass, one of Namibia's steepest and most scenic passes of its kind. A refreshment stop at the small settlement of Solitaire follows, famous for its "Apple Pie", before continuing to the lodge.
• The authentic desert atmosphere along the way is considered just one of the many highlights this short trip offers.

• An early morning departure is essential as the opportunity to climb some of the highest dunes in the world awaits. The view from the highest dune, "Big Daddy", as it is known to the locals, is well worth the early wake-up. Ancient Camelthorn Trees sit at the foot of Big Daddy and Dead Vlei, one of Sossusvlei's most photographed areas.
• Continue your tour to Dune 45, known as one of the most photographed dunes in the world.
• From there, drive on to explore the rugged Sesriem Canyon before returning to the lodge.
• The day ends with a spectacular Namib sunset.
