Breakfast amongst the sandy giants of Sossusvlei, and if you are truly daring, climb Big Daddy! Make sure to ware closed shoes, and if you plan to climb, do so as early as possible, as the desert sand can become scorching hot in minutes. You can also take the short walk to the famous Deadvlei for some spectacularly serene and abstract photo opportunities. On your way out, stop at Sesriem canyon, and go for a rock pool swim to cool from the blistering sun above.
Go on a two-to-three-hour drive with our guides. Wonder at the strange creatures, vast landscapes and endless skies. Drinks are supplied on the drive, best times are early morning and afternoons.
Available at both We Kebi Safari Lodge and Desert Hills Lodge, you can experience a mix of our homemade produce paired with the best South Africa has to offer in wines.
It is never too late to be who you might have been.
All good things are wild and free.
The gladdest moment in human life is a departure into unknown lands.
And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.
The world is not in your books and maps; it’s out there.
Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.
Life movies pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around every once in a while, you could miss it.
Jobs fill your pockets, but adventures fill your soul.
Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.
Then I realized that to be more alive, I had to be less afraid. So I did it. I lost my fear and gained my whole life.
Take a trip into the desert to see the small five with experienced guides, drive to sandwich harbour on a road less travelled, with its desert mysteries, or climb on the back of a camel and let the Bedouin in you lose! The guided drives take a full day, while camel rides are about an hour, there are also options for fatbike desert trips, or quad-bike tours.
Departing from the Mole in Swakopmund, boat trips generally stay within view of the coast. You can request either a scenic trip or experience some Atlantic boat fishing with our experienced skipper. Boat trips generally last about three hours, but it does depend on the weather. Take jackets, as the wind on the Atlantic can get very cold.
