7 Tage geführte 4x4 Safari Reise
Discover the Namib, experience the Desert
Windhoek - Solitaire - Desert Crossing - Diamond Area No 2 - Langewand” und Sandwich Harbour - Rooibank – Walvis Bay - Windhoek
If this is going to be your first introduction to the Namib it will really be an exceptional experience. The emphasis is not only on the adrenaline thrill of dune driving, but a huge part of the focus of this tour is a special look at the plants; small creatures and wildlife that made this desert their home. Our guides will capture your imagination with their knowledge on the fauna andflora of the desert. If you are a seasoned desert traveller this is the ultimate! The adrenaline rush isunparalleled to any other you might have experienced withprevious desert tours.
The dunes along this stretch of Namib are higher and more challenging and require technique to manoeuvre from one dune strait to the next. The magnitude of what awaits you is difficult to express in words. Although the emphasis is not on the 4x4 and off-road driving, the adventures is taking place amongst the world's highest sand dunes thus implying that you should be proficient in off-road driving and previous sand driving is a recommendation.
**Please note: Although some experience of dune driving and previous ‘wild camping’ (no formal facilities at camp) are recommended this does not mean that this will be a “Dakar Rally”. The emphasis is definitely on what the Namib has to offer but crossing massive dunes and doing a lot of off-road driving forms a large part of this experience. Participants must definitely have off-road endurance and a taste of adventure.

05.06.08 Windhoek - Solitaire
Everybody assembles at Solitaire. It is time to get last minute supplies and filling to the brim on fuel needed for the next 6 days. Tonight you will have the opportunity to meet the guides and the tour group. After a detailed briefing of what to expect the next couple of days, you will be treated to a nice meal around the campfire.
06.06.08 Solitaire - Homeb
We will leave Solitaire and enter into the Namib Naukluft Park, 35kms north of Solitaire - restricted Namib area. This is the start of a unique adventure offering you aspects of the Namib not generally experienced by the normal ‘tourist’. The route leads to the Kuiseb River and then the area is slowly changing from the typical Namib Plains into a colourful landscape of red sand dunes separated by grassy plains. We proceed westwards along the edge of the canyon until we reach a spot were the dunes fall right into the river near Homeb. Here we will ‘slip’ into the river enjoying its unique eco system of trees and abundance of birds. We will cross over onto the Northern bank of the Kuiseb Canyon, offered by the contrasts created by the rock formations edged against the red sand dunes.
The night is spent at Homeb, a very basic campsite amongst the trees on the banks of the Kuiseb river.
07.06.08 Desert Crossing
From Homeb, we head southwest into the “sand sea”. On the way to Conception Bay massive dunes are negotiated. The Dune straits are massive and are even more impressive. Most of the dunes are in excess of 150m high!!
The night is spent under the desert sky!!
08.06.08 Diamond Area No 2
We are on our way to the ‘ghost towns’ of the desolated, previous prohibited ‘Diamond Area No 2’. The scenery is awesome! Leeukoppie is a beautiful campsite in the heart of the Namib Desert overlooking “ghost towns” Holtsatia and Grillenberger!! It is in this area between Conception Bay and Meob Bay that the mining settlements of Holsatia, Charlottenfeld and Grillenberger was established and no form of engine-driven transport was available during the first 15 years of exploration. Various shipping casualties occurred, such as when the Eduard Bohlen intended to off-load mining equipment and was consequently lost at Conception Bay (1909).
09.06.08 “Langewand” and Sandwich Harbour
The dune belt opens up between Meob Bay and Conception Bay, but immediately after Conception the dune belt stretches right onto the beach. From Conception Bay you will be driving on the beach with magnificent scenery. We are heading northwards towards Sandwich Bay. En route the wrecks of the Eduard Bohlen & Shawnee are visited. Passing ‘Langewand’ where massive dunes end in the sea, given a very limited time span to negotiate this stretch of beach. After Langewand the trail once again leads into the dunes, circumnavigating the Salt Pans ‘extensions’ of Sandwich Harbour.
10.06.08 Sandwich to Rooibank
From Sandwich the trails enters the ‘Roller Coaster’, a series of massive ‘roaring’ slip faces, not only giving you a new thrilling experience but also offering breathtaking views of Sandwich Harbour and a panorama of Sands capes on the way to Rooibank in the Kuiseb River. The last night is spent at Lauberville – a former police training camp – renovated by the Topnaar Community. This is right next to the early missionary settlement of Schepmansdorf (1800’s).
11.06.08 Rooibank – Walvis Bay - Windhoek
From Sandwich the trail enters the ‘Roller Coaster’, a series of massive ‘roaring’ slip faces, not only giving you a new thrilling experience but also offering breathtaking views of Sandwich Harbour. The “4x4-Tour will end at Walvis Bay from where we drive back to Windhoek.
