• A Day in the Twyfeifontein Areo
  Breakfast. Join a guide to visit the nearby Twyfelfontein Rock Art site. This UNESCO World Heritage site
  is small (less than 1 km2). Still, it includes some great galleries of rock engravings (petroglyphs)
  depicting an extraordinary diversity of wild animals - rhino, elephant, giraffe, Oryx, ostrich, flamingo,
  zebra and many more - and footprints. The engravings are often superimposed on one another. They
  are engraved on the massive rock faces of free-standing boulders in completely exposed positions,
  They were probably made over a period of 2.000 years by local San hunter-gatherer peoples and
  represent an important aspect of San ritual and belief systems. Return to the lodge for lunch and rest

Enjoy breakfast, after which we recommend visiting the nearby Cape Fur Seal colony. (Cape Cross is
open daily from 10:00 to 17:00, and entrance costs N$ISO per person and N$50 per vehicle). Mornings
offer the perfect opportunity to visit the seal colony, as there are fewer visitors then. The colony emits a
strong odour, so we recommend bringing a buff or scarf to cover your mouth and nose if the wind
blows from the 'wrong' direction. Then, travel south along the coast, through the fishing town of
Hentiesbay, to Swakopmund, This quirky, historic town offers visitors an excellent base to explore the
area Enjoy dinner at one of Swakopmund's many excellent restaurants. The journey time from Cape

Swakopmund - Sesriem
Breakfast. Today, you leave the Atlantic waters and travel deep into the ancient Namib Desert. Drive
along gravel roads with dramatic landscapes unfolding around every corner. The rock formations
around the Caub and Kuiseb Canyons are genuinely marvellous. These ephemeral riverbeds were once
home to elephants, rhinos and lions. Their petrified footprints are still visible in the clay today -
preserved by the shifting sands covering them. The Kuiseb River Valley divides the sandy southern dune
area and the vast northern gravel plains. Cross the Tropic of Capricorn and stop at Solitaire for their

• A Day in the Sossusvlei Area
  Breakfast. This morning is an early start to grab a light breakfast before departing the lodge for the
  Sesriem gate into the Namib Naukluft Park. This gate opens at sunrise, and you might find a queue of
  cars waiting to enter the park. Once you've completed the entry permit paperwork and paid the entry
  fees (N$150 per person + N$50 per vehicle - the permit is valid for a day and allows multiple entries), you
  drive the 60km to the Sossusvlei dunes. This route to the dunes is a well-maintained tar road, except for
  the last few kilometers of sandy tracks. Sossusvlei will be on your right, and the parking and route to
  Deadvlei will be on your left. It is best to visit Deadvlei before the day gets too hot. If you're feeling
  energetic, we recommend the climb up the crest of Big Daddy Dune. The panoramic views over the
  sand sea are spectacular. To visit the Sesriem Canyon, you'll find the access road running along the
  perimeter fence from the Sesriem gate into the Naukluft Park. Park your car at the Sesriem parking area
  and walk down into the canyon to marvel at the layers of sediment that clearly show the passage of
  time over millions of years. Exit the park, return to your lodge for lunch, and relax for the rest of the day.
  You also have the option to visit Sesriem in the late afternoon when it is cooler.
