Day 1-3 Flying direct into Johannesburg it was a very easy transition through immigration and rechecking in for the flight into Windhoek where we were greeted by our guide for the journey. Laurence. Windhoek is where we stayed for a first night and where we will return to for our last night before the flight home. Fabulous,it’s guest house hotel on the hills over looking the town. Each room is an individual Rondeville.

The next Morning we stared the journey South to our next stop Sossusvlei staying at the Le Mirage Resort and spa. Staying here fior 2 nights. Overlooking the plains and the mountains on the edge of the famous Sand dunes. The hotel looks like an old castle! Beautiful rooms, excellent cuisine, where you can sit and watch the Oryx, birds and other wildlife wanting the amazing sunsets with a G&T!

An early start the next start, by wow was it worth it! With the local guide taking us out at sunrise to climb Sand Dune 45, named this as 45 km from the entrance ti the Park, Absolutely fabulous experience. Walking up the rim to Around 350m - Harder than you think on sand! And then coming down the side was great fun!

We then drove a little more to the Deadvlei The white salt and clay pan . Where the Dead trees are still standing after 1000 years. It is 1.1km from the drop off point across the sands but as you come over the rim it comes into a fantastic view.

On the way back to hotel around lunchtime stopping at the Sesriem Canyon which at some points is over 80 metres deep.

You can also do hot air balloon and scenic flights over the area.

Day 3-4 takes us onto Swakopmund, on the Namibian Skeleton coast. Around a 400 km journey.
