Day Trips

To fill your days spent with us with epic memories you can embark on one of our daytrips.

From daring mountain trails either on foot or with mountain bikes overseen by Klipspringer and Mountain Zebra or exploring the unusual beauty of the magnificent Namib Desert, Namib Coastline and Etosha National Park, you will be entertained!

Or being witness to an African sunset on a scenic drive through the wilderness in the hope of encountering a white rhino…

Day Trip
Dune

These are but some of the glorious adventures you can partake in with Daosa Africa.

Sossusvlei Area (Desert Hills and We Kebi Safari Lodge)

Sossusvlei trips (Service provided by Daosa)

  • Enjoy the magnificence of the Namib dunes in all their splendour. The day starts early, as the desert sun quickly heats the sand. Once inside the park, it is another hour drive to the actual vlei (Afrikaans word for a ‘marsh’). Here you can climb the monstrous Big Daddy dune, see the ancient Deadvlei and have a refresher with our lunchpacks under the massive old camel thorn trees. You can round of your day with a quick visit to Sesriem Canyon, and if you are lucky, even have a swim in its cool waters.

And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.

Adventure may hurt you, but monotony will kill you.

Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.

- Ibn Battuta

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.

- Terry Pratchet

The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure.

- Christopher McCandless

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.

- W.M. Lewis

Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.

- Ernest Hemingway

Life movies pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around every once in a while, you could miss it.

Swakopmund Area (Ocean House Guesthouse)

Sandwich harbour trips (Service provided by external contractors)

  • Spend the day along the beautiful coastline South of Walvis Bay into the protected area known as ‘Sandwich Harbour’. The trip is very scenic, but also delivers a rush of adrenalin as your driver charges up the massive sand dunes with specialized vehicles. A light lunch with oysters and sparkling wine is normally served at the harbour lookout point.

Boat trips and Mola Mola tours

  • Take a boat trip, normally from Walvis Bay Harbour, and experience the desert from a different perspective. Guests also regularly get visited by seals and pelicans, keep an eye out for dolphins, and occasionally guests have the pleasure of seeing the elusive sun fish or mola mola.


Fishing along the coast

  • Go with a trained and kitted angler to try your luck at pulling in ‘a big one’. The Namibian coastline is very well known for its good fishing all year round.
