Maltahoehe to Sossusvlei
Day 4 - 25th January 2007
A late-ish start to cover the short run
to Sossusvlei. A relatively cool day, and fantastic scenery made for a very
pleasant run to the Sossusvlei Lodge. The dust road towards the end of the
journey was pretty poor. Got to Sossusvlei before lunch, and checked into the
accommodation. These consisted of individual tented extensions to a brick
ablutions area. No aircon, but cool. Lunched and then took the tour to the Dunes
and Deadsvlei and Sossusvlei areas. Did some dune walking, and drove back after
dark to an excellent buffet with various game meats and DIY stir fry, topped off
with some wines.
168 kms.
