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.
Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.
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.
Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.
Travel far enough, you meet yourself.
I travel because I’d rather look back at my life, saying ‘I can’t believe I did that’ instead of ‘if only I had’.
A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving.
It feels good to be lost in the right direction.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And venture belongs to the adventurous.
Oh, the places you’ll go.
There’s only one place I want to go, and it’s to all the places I’ve never been to.
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.
