The Sossusvlei Excursion
The Sossusvlei Excursion is organised by the lodge in a 4x4 overland vehicle
on a daily basis. Secure your seat and book in advance.
An early morning rise, with a snack before leaving, enables you to arrive at
Sesriem, the park’s gate at around sunrise. Enjoy this unique desert scenery
with some of the highest dunes in the world. The dynamic and star-shaped
dunes are ideal for the keen photographer. Climb one of the over 300 m high
dunes and you will be overwhelmed by the view.
A full breakfast is served under shady camelthorn trees.
Visit the rugged Sesriem Canyon before returning to the lodge for your lunch.
The ‘Sundowner’ Drive
Every day our overland vehicles will do a beautiful drive on this Private Nature
Reserve, where you can usually some of the common game, like oryx,
springbok and ostrich. A stop at the natural marble mountains will enable you
to have a view as far as your eye can see. These vast plains are beautiful and
so typical for the Namib region. Enjoy a drink or two and watch the sun go
down peacefully before returning to Namib Naukluft Lodge.
The Walking Trail
In the Naukluft Mountains of this Private Nature Reserve, there is a 2-hour
walking trail laid out – for easy walking. It is called the Zebra Trail. You may
either book a guide to walk with you or just take along a radio-phone and
walk on your own. The trail is well marked, offers beautiful scenery and gives
a great impression of the vegetation in this part of the world.
The Balloon Safari or Scenic Flight
The Lodge managers will be able to assist you, should you consider
participating in a Balloon Safari or a Scenic Flight over the dunes of
Sossusvlei. Please book in advance or immediately on check-in at
the Lodge for your reservation.
