Today we spend most of the day in Sossusvlei, an Unesco WHS, exploring the magnificent dunes with dead trees and lizards all around us

One of the best lodges on the trip is Sossus Dune Lodge with beautiful views of the dunes, great food and our own personal springbok

We continue south to Sesriem through dunes visiting canyons and seeing rare plants while being followed by ostriches

Another highlight of our Namibia trip is kayaking with the seals while also seeing flamingoes on the shore and dolphins in the water

We spend two nights in Swakopmund to recuperate and visit the historic downtown as well as to kayak with seals from Walvis Bay

One of the more memorable stops along the coast is at Cape Cross to view the huge seal colony and the site where the first European explorer landed in Namibia

Most of the day today we explore the famed Skeleton Coast with two major stops at the abandoned Toscanini Diamond Mine and the very interesting abandoned oil rig

First stop of the day is at the first Unesco WHS in Namibia the interesting and expansive petroglyphs of Twyfelfontein

We spend the evening exploring the Organ Pipes and Burnt Mountain as well as the interesting petrogyphs at Twyfelfontein

We have seen petrified trees before but we want to see them also in Namibia so we stop for an hour at Khorixas Petrified Forest to admire them and to see our first welwitchia plants
