| Day One: After breakfast we leave Luderitz and after 35km on the tar road we turn into the desert. Tyres will be deflated to ± 0.9 bar (depends on the baggage), then we drive through the most beautiful mountains and dunes and the first dunes will be tackled. Everyone will be assisted throughout the dune driving process (communication radio). Camp near Suzie “The Ford Truck” area is reached and we put up our camps and the fire will be lit. Day Two: After a nice healthy breakfast and the camps are taken down we drive further. Driving past the bulldozer of Moshe Kahn on the way to St Francis Bay, where we our next campsite will be. The tents will be put up, bodies will be cleaned, eat and be sociable. By this time there will be lots to talk about. Day Three: The same will be done as the previous mornings and then we will go into the dunes and then down to the sea. There are very big dunes waiting and everyone will concentrate because this is Heavy Dune Driving at its best. The experience of the previous two days will help a lot and we will drive in the direction of Meob Bay, sleep under the stars and the fire will be burning while we wait for supper. Day Four: After breakfast we drive further and the dunes open up. We will travel over the diamond fields of the previous century, crossing a couple of dunes till finally reaching the wreck of the Eduard Bohlen. The old towns, Holsatia, Charlottenfelder and Grillenberger, which were abandoned will be visited. These towns were abandoned because it was too expensive to take all the equipment out of the desert. We arrive at the camp and will make ourselves comfortable around the fire while we are waiting for supper. Day Five: After breakfast we will drive north along the beach in the direction of Sandwich Bay and the shipwreck Shawnee will be visited and the interesting history about it will be unfold. Lunch will be held in the vicinity of Sandwich Bay. This is where the massive dunes run into the sea and it must be 100% low tide before we can get through. After this we drive into the dunes, and here the dunes are getting bigger and bigger. All the experience from the past days will now be tested to the extreme in the dunes. The last evening in the dunes and for old time’s sake we will enjoy our evening next to the fire, while waiting for supper, after a hard day’s 4X4. A good night’s rest before we take the long road to Walvis bay. Day Six: After breakfast we still have a couple of dunes to cross on our way to Walvisbay. On the one side you have the sea and on the other the dunes, sand and more sand. Important ! The programme of everyday can be changed because the whole programme works around the tides, whether it is high or low-tide. The tides will determine on which of the roads we will be able to drive. | 30 MAY - 4 JUNE 2022 26 JUNE - 1 JULY 2022 25 - 30 JULY 2022 22 - 27 AUGUST 2022 OMALWEENDO SAFARI'S CONCESSION WITH THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND TOURISM FOR THE LUDERITZ - WALVIS BAY TOUR IS STILL VALID UP TO 31 AUGUST 2022 WHEREAFTER OTHER ARRANGMENTS WILL COME INTO EFFECT.
