Southern Namib Desert

This trip departs from Windhoek after the first night and takes you over the majestic Namib Desert escarpment at Spreetshoogte Pass. We travel down into the Namib Desert towards Sesriem and Sossusvlei. The wide expanses of desert savannahs and dune seas make up much of the beautiful landscape. We visit Sossusvlei, Elim Dune and Sesriem Canyon, on foot and on our mountain bikes. On our trip up towards Swakopmund, the route takes us through the ancient Gaub and Kuiseb Canyons. After cycling through the gravel plains and desolate grasslands of the Namib Naukluft Park, we arrive at the well known Inselberg/granite mountain called Blutkoppe. This lovely area is off the beaten track and we have the opportunity to cycle the surrounding stone desert, dotted with granite boulders and Quiver trees. On the final day, we cycle out of the desert into Swakopmund, where we'll stay in a centrally situated guesthouse overnight.
