DAYS 1&2

Depart
Eros Airport, Windhoek by light aircraft to Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp
for two nights. Departure is in the morning at a time best suited to the
guests and their incoming flights. All guests coming off international
flights will be given enough time to connect off the incoming flight
without overnighting in Windhoek, if they so wish. It is one hour's
flight down to Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp. Activities include a safari
down to the very end of the Tsauchab River and the heart of Sossusvlei
for those wonderful dune scenes. The nature drives will take place in
4x4 vehicles, and will also include a visit to Sesriem Canyon. Nature
trails on the reserve highlight the unique Namib flora and fauna. |

The
flight takes you over the dunes of the Namib and over Sossusvlei itself
for an alternative view from the air and then due westwards to Meob Bay
on the Skeleton Coast. From here on up the coast there is spectacular
desert and Skeleton Coast scenery, where the dunes and the desert meet
the Atlantic Ocean. The flight up the coast takes you over the site of
the Eduard Bolen shipwreck, past Conception Bay and the wreck of the
Shaunee, over Sandwich Harbour and its famous lagoon, past the flamingos
of Walvis Bay and up to Swakopmund. Here you are met and transferred to
the Walvis Bay Harbour where they set out on a dolphin and seal cruise
with the opportunity to see leatherback turtle, sunfish, penguins,
dolphins, seals, flamingos, cormorants and other sea birds. We will then
stop for a seafood lunch. After lunch we will cruise back to the wharf
and be transferred by road to Swakopmund for a short city tour and onto
Swakopmund Airport for departure at approx. 1500. (included in the
cost). In the afternoon you depart from Swakopmund for a scenic flight
further up the Skeleton Coast, past the Cape Cross Seal Colony, before
turning east to fly up the Huab River to Damaraland Camp for two nights.
Highlights of the stay at Damaraland Camp are nature excursions into
the rocky desert in search of the rare and endangered desert elephant
and rhino. This is an area where the chances of encountering the
elephants is very high. Damaraland is one of the few really good tented
camps in the country. All tents have en-suite bathrooms with flush loos,
even though the area has water shortages. |
