This magical excursion takes you off the Reserve and into the Namib

Naukluft National Park, entering the Park gates at sunrise and going on to

capture the dunes whilst the light is soft and shadows accentuate their towering

shapes and curves. This area boasts some of the highest free-standing sand dunes

in the world and your guide can show you some of the myriad of fascinating

creatures and plants that have adapted to survive these harsh conditions in the

Namib Desert.

This is done in the late afternoon when you can either

go on a short drive to the selected ‘sundowner’ location or you can walk there

using a route that can take between 45 and 90 minutes. On arrival, you will find

your sundowner set up which will have been brought out by the camp crew and

you can relax there while enjoying seeing the shadows lengthen and the colours

fade. After the sun has set you will head back to camp in time for the shower run

and then have time to relax and enjoy a tasty dinner.

This is a superb area to walk and cycle in as there is plenty to

see, no matter which direction you start out in. These walks and rides allow your

guide to take you to explore the local area with you at almost any time of day, and

they offer a great alternative to scenic drives, especially for people who enjoy

being a little more active.
