Welcome to the capital of Namibia, the colonial city of Windhoek, which is surrounded by high mountains and vast desert expanses. In the morning, immediately upon arrival, we will go to the rental point, where we rent Toyota Hilux expedition jeeps, they are already equipped with everything necessary for long and comfortable trips, including 2 tents on the roof of the jeeps. After that, we will go for breakfast to a local restaurant to get to know the national cuisine of Namibia. In this country, food is one of the main attractions, because in local establishments it is absolutely legal to order dishes from exotic animals (zebras, antelopes, etc.), as well as enjoy a variety of fish and seafood.
Leaving Windhoek, we start an expedition through the untouched nature of the African continent. We are waiting for a long and scenic drive to Sossusvlei - we will drive 405 km in jeeps. and we will spend about 4-5 hours on the road. This desert is considered the oldest in the world and stretches for 1600 km. along the coastline of Namibia. This is truly a cosmic place - rich orange dunes around and an azure blue sky - and all this color splendor in the ringing silence of the desert! In the central part of the desert, right next to an extinct forest in the middle of huge dunes in the Namib-Naukluft National Park, there is a clay Sossusvlei - one of the most popular attractions on the planet, which has gained popularity due to its monumental dunes, the highest of which is 325 meters. These star-shaped dunes inspire artists and photographers from all over the world. In the evening we will drive to the famous dune 45 to see off the setting sun. The evening sun will illuminate the orange dunes - the view will be breathtaking! Today we will consider the night sky and look for the constellations of the Southern Hemisphere. Overnight stay at Desert Quiver Camp. The hotel is very well located - just 5 km from the entrance gate to Sossusvlei.

In the morning we wake up in the realm of silence, where the air is saturated with calmness and serenity. Today we have an early rise because at sunrise we will go to the valley of death - Deadflay, to take thousands of beautiful photos and collect full sneakers of sand. The valley of death was formed on the site of a dried-up river, surrounded by 400-meter dunes, where the skeletons of large trees still continue to stand against the background of a dazzling blue sky and bright red hills. Once upon a time there was an oasis and trees grew, but then the river changed its course, and due to lack of moisture, all plants died. Moreover, it is so dry here that the wood could not even rot naturally, but was mummified. When the sun rises over Death Valley, dead trees cast their shadows on the hot sand. All this together, with the blue of the sky and the red hues of the dunes, creates an impressive landscape in a completely lifeless place! In the afternoon we will drive through the deserted roads of the Namib Desert National Park to the Sesriem Canyon. This canyon was formed about two million years ago, when the Tsauchab River, which was full-flowing in those distant times, carved its way through solid sedimentary rocks. The gorge is 1 kilometer long, 30 meters deep, its width in some places is only 2 meters. We check into Moon Mountain Lodge - a place with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain ranges and desert landscape.

On this day, we say goodbye to Namibia. Flight home, according to the flight schedule!
