We will spend most of the day in the dunes exploring the area. After a light picnic breakfast in the desert, and if you are up for it, climb Big Daddy, one of the highest dunes in the world. Returning from your adventurous excursion you will have some time to sit and enjoy a lunch, which is well earned after the morning out in the desert. “The area is simply breath-taking and no words or photographs can really do it justice. At sunrise and sunset, the light highlights the dunes and brings to life the multitude of colors which give it depth and dimension.” Spend the afternoon relaxing or if you simply can’t get enough of what this area has to offer, head off again on an afternoon activity. An hour before sunset we will meet with our guide for an afternoon sunset nature drive and a short meditation walk on this magical land, before our private outdoor bush dinner in the Desert.
