This old-style serviced camping safari recreates a sense of adventure for the traveller seeking an authentic African experience.

Adventurer Explorations camps provide serviced spacious dome tents, designed for comfort in remote wilderness areas.

The route followed on this Exploration aims to reveal the evocative scenery of the desert and the life-rich, rugged Atlantic Coast and the moving dune fields of the Namib Desert around Sossusvlei. On this journey there are excellent opportunities to view enormous dunes, seals up close from a kayak trip, pelicans and flamingos, to name but a few.

Day 1: The Stiltz Lodge, Swakopmund
After arrival in Windhoek, where you are met by our representative, we transfer by road to The Stiltz Lodge in Swakopmund on the Atlantic. The journey takes us through some fascinating landscapes, gravel plains and stark mountains before arriving in the late afternoon. The Stiltz is a unique lodge, built on stilts thus providing breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, the red iron rich beach dunes and also the Swakopmund River mouth.

Days 2 & 3: Kulala Adventurer Camp, Sossusvlei
After an early breakfast, we drive southwards to Walvis Bay Lagoon. Here in a protected bay, hundreds of flamingos, pelicans and other waterfowl amass. On the calm waters of the bay, we experience a sea kayak trip, a spectacular activity that allows us to approach the waterbirds in their habitat at a respectable distance, often allowing for some unique photographic opportunities of birds flying low over the bay.

We enjoy a seafood lunch served on the beach and afterwards drive inland to the Kulala Adventurer Camp in our private Sossusvlei concession, arriving in the late afternoon.

Here we enjoy access to the Sossusvlei dunes, walks in the immense moving sands of the Namib, game drives and stargazing. Photography in the early morning of the dunes is particularly stunning with rich reds and dark shadows completing the dazzling reality that is the enormity of the Namib Desert.

Day 4: Transfer to Windhoek
After breakfast we transfer by road, including lunch overlooking the view of the plains nearby, to Windhoek and bid farewell to the adventure.
