Day 3 Sossusvlei After breakfast, explore the canyon in one of the lodge’s vehicles. You then fly on to Sesriem, the gateway to the Namib Desert. On the second day, an excursion in an open off-road vehicle takes you to the famous dunes, the highest in the world. The lodge where you stay lies right at the entrance to Namib-Naukluft National Park. Overnight at the Sossusvlei Lodge or similar.
