Short city tour
The tour continues southwest to reach the Namib Desert. The main attraction of this area is the spectacular Sossusvlei, a clay basin formed when the migrating dunes of the Namib blocked the path of the Tsauchab River. Surrounded by majestic star-shaped and undulating dunes, the basin and the surrounding dunes offer an absolutely breathtaking spectacle in the early morning hours. The area also includes the Dead Vlei, with its pure clay soil and dead acacia trunks pointing skyward, and the Sesriem Canyon, which takes its name from the 30-meter-deep canyons carved into the sediments of the Tsauchab River.
We'll wake up at dawn today to visit the world's tallest sand dunes, the Sossusvlei dunes, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2013. At sunrise, they take on truly magical colors. In the afternoon, you'll have the option of participating in a variety of activities offered by the lodge.

Today we continue northward to reach the Atlantic Coast. We'll arrive in Swakopmund, a coastal town founded by German colonists in 1892. With its pleasant, relaxed atmosphere, it's the country's main holiday destination. Many streets still bear the names of colonial figures and administrators of the era.
A full day dedicated to coastal activities awaiting us. A catamaran cruise in the morning offers the chance to spot the abundant local birdlife, numerous resident sea lions, possibly dolphins, and, depending on the season, humpback whales that pass along the coast. In the afternoon, we continue by 4x4 vehicle to the coastal dunes of the Namib Desert that overlook the Atlantic Ocean.
