Day 3
Today you drive south to the Namib Naukluft Park and the Sossusvlei area where you stay at the Desert Homestead for the next two nights.
The Desert Homestead and Horse Trails
If you are planning on visiting the magnificent red dunes of the Namib or the jewel-like rock pools of the Naukluft, you'll be hard pressed to find a more idyllic setting than our lodge situated only 25km from Sesriem. The view from your bedroom is of the distant Nubib mountains, and as the sun rises each morning, these mountains turn the most glorious shade of purple. Each of our rustic chalets has its own en-suite bathroom complete with farm-style enamel basins and copper taps. You'll notice our attention to detail and personal touches everywhere - even the loo paper. Our swimming pool is a popular attraction in the heat of summer, and offers a welcome respite from the extreme desert temperatures. This year in January, we had a few days where the thermometer registered in excess of 50°C. If a tranquil afternoon in the pool doesn't tempt you, perhaps you'd be interested in our sundowner drive. It's a 4x4 track up a steep mountain road, and then a footpath the last little way to the most magnificent sundowner location in the south! Alternatively, you may be interested in meandering across grassy plains or discovering ancient watercourses on the back of a beautifully groomed horse.
