After breakfast, your guide will transfer you to Swakopmund Airport (SWP), where you will board your private charter and fly to your Lodge. The flight takes you south over the great Namib Sea Sand (declared a natural World Heritage Site) all along the coast, where (weather dependent) you will see deserted mines, shipwrecks, and seal colonies on the way towards the famous Sossusvlei dunes. A highlight is a flight over the Eduard Bohlen, a German cargo ship that ran aground in 1909 while it was on its way to Table Bay from Swakopmund. It is believed that thick fog caused the ship to founder close to Conception Bay. Years after the ship ran aground the desert began encroaching on the ocean and the ship that was once stranded in the ocean slowly became stranded in the desert. The wreck currently sits about 500 meters from the ocean, ensuring that it’s the best-preserved shipwreck along Namibia’s Skeleton Coast and making it a must-see for photographers.
Upon landing at the lodge airstrip you will be met by your local guide who will transfer you to the lodge. The rest of the day can be spent exploring the area on one of the scheduled activities as arranged by the lodge or you can just relax and soak in the scenic and tranquil surroundings (B, L, D).
