 Day 1 : Depart Windhoek for 2 nights, Kulala Desert Lodge, Sossusvlei
Depart Eros Airport, Windhoek, by light aircraft to Kulala Desert Lodge for two nights.
The Kulala Desert Lodge is situated on a 21 000 hectare private Reserve with spectacular desert scenery. It affords close access to Sossusvlei, but also offers privacy and exclusivity. The design and decor are both imaginative and sensitive to the fragile ecosystem of the area. Each 'kulala' has cool clay walls, en suite facilities and a private veranda from which you view the stunning sunsets. Above is a delightful rooftop sleeping area so you can sleep out under the stars of the desert sky if you wish. From the comfort of the veranda watch the wildlife at the waterhole while enjoying the ever-changing colours of the imposing Sossusvlei dunes. Or cool off in the plunge pool. The main living area is under thatch with an outdoor deck where guests enjoy dinner under the stars.

Day 2 : Activities at Kulala
Activities include a safari down to the very end of the Tsauchab River and the heart of Sossusvlei for those wonderful dune scenes. Activities include a safari to the heart of Sossusvlei for those wonderful dune scenes. The nature drives will take place in 4x4 vehicles, and will also include a visit to Sesriem Canyon. Nature trails on the reserve highlight the unique Namib flora and fauna.
Sossusvlei rivals a visit to Etosha as the highlight of a Namibian holiday. You rise with the sun to see one of the most exhilarating sights in Namibia - the towering dunes of Sossusvlei, some of the largest in the world, rising more than 1000 feet above the desert. Many of our visitors lose their hearts to Namibia after seeing Sossusvlei. This is paradise for the photographer, as the shadows create a magnificent contrast of colours. Marvel at the gemsbok and other animals that manage to survive in these dry conditions.

 Day 3 : Flight back to Windhoek
