ITINERARY IN BRIEF
Day 1 Arrive Windhoek by 09h00, to Sossus Dune Lodge, Sossusvlei

You then depart Windhoek in your safari vehicle with your personal guide and drive towards the Sossusvlei area, making your way over the Great Escarpment. You have lunch and visit the Sesriem Canyon in the afternoon, before arriving at the Sossus Dunes Lodge in the later afternoon. The rest of the afternoon is at leisure.
Day 2 Sossus Dune Lodge, Sossusvlei
After an early wake-up call you depart and head into Sossusvlei itself and you also have the option to walk into the pan at Deadvlei. The early morning provides great colour and shadows of the dunes, and after exploring the area, you settle down for a picnic breakfast under a shady tree. You return to the lodge in time for lunch. The afternoon is again spent at your leisure.

Day 5 & 6 Hoanib River Camp, Northern Palmwag Concession
This morning, after a leisurely breakfast, you depart on a 2 hour scenic drive back to Puros where you meet with your guide again.

You join the Hoanib riverbed to continue east into the true wilderness of the private Palmwag Concession.
Day 7 & 8 Etendeka Mountain Camp, Etendeka Concession
