This program begins with a charming overnight journey by train from Windhoek to Swakopmund. The Desert Express is renowned for its luxurious service and the breathtaking scenery of its route. Upon arrival, spend three nights in Swakopmund, your base for exploring the dunes and the coastal environs around the town. Enjoy sunsets over the ocean, marine safaris and cruises, and tours of the city's multi-cultural history. A full day excursion to Sandwich Harbor takes you along the Kuiseb River bed, to meet the people who live in this region. This is also one of the best places in Namibia for bird watching. After three nights in the Swakopmund area, fly to Sossusvlei for three nights in the heart of the desert. A full range of activities introduces you to this unique ecosystem and the flora and fauna that survive in this harsh and arid land. Travelers tend to revel in the space and silence of Sossusvlei.
