Day 1) Departure Windhoek/Meet South African participants in Rehoboth or Betta and travel via Mariental and Maltahöhe to Betta where we are able to fill up petrol for the last time before entering the concession area of the former forbidden zone of the Diamond Area 2, where Offroad Tours & Safaris holds a special concession. This is a pristine and uninhabited wilderness landscape. The route leads to Farm Springbokvlakte, which borders the park, through scenic landscapes which sports a variety of antelopes and other desert game. We camp on the edge of a valley next to an imposing granite hill in the middle of the wilderness.
Day 2) Today the real adventure starts. The route leads westwards to a bulldozer which was used for Diamond prospecting and was left behind in the desert. From here we turn north-westwards through captivating dune landscapes until we reach the Atlantic coast, where we shall camp in the wilderness again.
Day 3&4) We drive along the beach until Reutersbrunn at the southern end of Meob Bay. We will notice a few trawlers which were used by diamond prospectors to transport their valuable findings ashore. Along the way we shall view old horse carriages and deserted mining villages like Grillenberg and Charlotenburg. We turn further north-eastwards into the dune belt where we camp between the dunes for the next two nights
Day 5&6) The Namib Desert offers a personal challenge for any serious all-wheel enthusiast. Driver and vehicle will be highly stressed during this trip. We drive over and along high sand dunes and spot the Tsondab Vlei (pan) from the distance with its large grassy plains between the dunes. Again our camp is erected under a clear & sparkling african sky, which allows for excellent stargazing.
Day 7) This extraordinary wilderness safari which leads us off the beaten track through commercially unexplored territory and ends at the small town of Solitaire, from where guests can carry on on their own.
The former forbidden and inhospitable land north of Lüderitz (Diamond Area 2) has only recently been made accessible to a few operators to conduct safaris there. An extension programme to the northern part of Namibia is offered on request
