The Experience

Living and working in this beautiful environment we experienced that the information  which the traveller received before departing from his home, about the Sossusvlei Area, are mostly poor and limited.

Therefore we decided to share our enthusiasm and knowledge about the magical Namib Desert with our guests, encouraging them to join us for an individual and unforgettable experience to discover the secrets of the desert.

Our aim is to deliver a unique “off beaten tracks” experience in nature and we focus on places which are rarely mentioned in guide books – especially today facing an overwhelming increase of tourist in SSV area.

Start from the Lodge after breakfast, before sunrise with our professional guide in our 4X4 Safari Vehicle

• Arriving at Sesriem Gate at sunrise
• While entering park lecturing about history of National Park
• Lecturing about Petrified Dunes
• Off beaten tracks lecturing on Lizards, Beetles, Scorpions, Spiders and Snakes. Here we rely on good weather conditions to assure track visibility.
• Off beaten tracks lecturing about birdlife especially the Dune Lark which is endemic to the Namib Desert
• Photography stops at big Dunes 
• Entering the ancient Tsauchab River bed engaging 4x4 as here needed due to deep sand areas. While cruising lecturing on Flora (Trees and various Plants) and Fauna (Springbok, Oryx, Ostrich, Birds etc)
