What to expect
The Spreetshoogte Pass traverses the Great Escarpment, connecting the Namib Desert to the Khomas Highland. The pass is 50.4 kilometres long, connecting Solitaire to Nauchas and offers stunning vistas of the surrounding landscape. Originally constructed during World War II by farmer Nicolaas Spreeth, the pass was built to facilitate access to his farm, Ubib, located at the base of the escarpment. One of Namibia’s most spectacular views is from the top of the Spreetshoogte Pass, where the land drops off by roughly 2000 metres, creating a natural vantage point overlooking the vast, semi-desert plains and the arid mountains beyond
Solitaire
Situated in the Khomas region of Central Namibia, the desert town of Solitaire serves as an oasis in the Namib Desert. The town provides an important stop on the way to the ancient dunes of Sossusvlei, allowing travellers to stock up on essentials as they make their way further into the wilderness. Solitaire also has a small bar and is renowned for its famous apple pie - said to be the best in the country. Enjoy a scenic sundowner with views of the Spreetshoogte Pass Solitaire spectacular Namib desert, hike and bike through the unspoilt natural surroundings, or visit the wonderful local Cheetah Sanctuary
Sesriem Canyon
Sesriem Canyon is a captivating natural wonder located in the heart of the Namib Desert in Namibia. Carved over millions of years by the Tsauchab River, this narrow gorge is a testament to the power of erosion. The name Sesriem comes from the Afrikaans and Dutch words for six leather straps, which early pioneers used tied together to draw water from the deep pools within the canyon. Sesriem Canyon is not only a geological marvel but also a haven for unique desert flora and fauna, making it a popular stop for tourists exploring the surreal landscapes of the Namib Desert
Located in the scenic Namib-Naukluft National Park, Sossuvlei is where you will find the iconic red sand dunes to make this one of the most scenic natural wonders of Africa and a photographer's heaven. This awe-inspiring destination is possibly Namibia's premier attraction, with its unique dunes rising to almost 400 meters - making them some of the highest in the world.
An early morning is required to make your way to the Namib Naukluft Park gate. Once the gate is open, your guide will proceed and drive to Dune 45 where you will be hiking up the dune then after proceed to Deadvlei, Big Daddy, Sossusvlei and finally a short hike into the Sesriem Canyon. A well deserving lunch at Sesriem if time permits then drive back to Windhoek where you will arrive in the late afternoon.
