1
Moon Landscape |
We leave base camp at about 12h00 along the usually dry Swakop riverbed. With a bit of luck might see some of the very scarce desert wildlife such as jackal and springbok. Pass the big ana trees, an important source of food for animals living in the desert. Our first overnight camp will be at the ringing stones on the edge of the countless valleys, also called the moon landscape. Accommodation: Camping (D) |

2
Rossing Mountain - Namib Desert |
After a healthy breakfast, we will ride to the Rössing Mountain, where you can enjoy the spectacular view of the surrounding plains. Many interesting rock formations can be seen and there is a chance to find some semi precious stones. Accommodation: Camping at Rossing Mountain (B, L, D) |

Welwitchia Plains |
Today we will have a fairly long ride during the morning. We enjoy lunch in the shade of the riverbed where the Khan river meets the Swakop river. If luck is on our side, we might see bigger desert wildlife such as ostrich, baboons and oryx. You will also have the opportunity to see the Welwitchia mirabilis, some being 1 500 years old. This plant is endemic to the Namib Desert. Accommodation: Camping (B, L, D) |
