    hrs Estimate Duration

Experience the treasures of the Namib Desert during this memorable off-road expedition that includes a stop at the renowned Walvis Bay Lagoon. Board your off-road vehicle for a drive to the Namib-Naukluft National Park, which encompasses the Naukluft Mountain Range and part of the Namib, one of the world’s oldest deserts and site of the world’s highest and most vividly colored sand dunes. As you explore the unique plant life and terrain of this arid region, you’ll discover Moon Landscape, a vastly eroded valley that is reminiscent of the lunar surface due to the wind’s effect on the rock formations and sand. You’ll proceed to the Welwitschia Valley, where thousands of bizarre welwitschia plants are scattered about. After stopping to view these distinctive specimens as well as a variety of interesting lichens, you’ll continue to a scenic location for a refreshment of orange juice and savory snacks.

HIGHLIGHTS
• See the rugged mountains, shifting dunes and vibrant colors of beguiling Namib-Naukluft National Park.
• Gaze in awe at a lunar-like topography carved out by the wind at Moon Landscape.
• Study the uniquely unattractive welwitschia plant, found only in the Namib Desert.
