Day 1: Windhoek - Sossusvlei
There is no reason to leave Windhoek particularly early today, you have a drive of around 300km's which will take you around 4-5 hours (although the majority of travel will be on unsealed gravel roads). There are several routes to take -however our favourite is via the Spreetshoogte Pass - which offers stunning views from the top of the escarpment over the desert plains below. The pass is so steep that it is only possible to traverse it from top to bottom - so you will need to use one of the other routes on your return journey
If you arrive in time you can participate in a guided nature drive or walk this afternoon.
Meals: Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Little Kulala
Day 2: Sossusvlei
This morning you will be awoken before sunrise for tea and coffee, before heading out with one of the lodges guides and vehicles towards the dunes at Sossusvlei. Making use of the lodges own private entrance you enter the park at sunrise. On arriving at Sossusvlei their is time to explore the area, climb the dunes and generally enjoy this amazing part of Namibia. On returning to the vehicle your guide has laid out brunch for you under one of the large shady camelthorn trees.
Once you have eaten it is back to the lodge, possibly with a short visit to the Sesriem canyon if you are interested.
This afternoon you are welcome to join a nature drive (or other activity) on the Kulala property before dinner and bed.
