Here is a free advice – don’t drive this wild stretch alone. It’s not because you will be in danger of any form but, it’s just the cruelty you will do to others who could have been on this wonderful journey with you, through a truly beautiful country.

With a knowledgeable guide and advanced driving skills, this becomes one of Africa’s most exhilarating adventure road trips, in one of the still truly wild destinations on earth. During the day, you brave golden dunes ten story condos high.

The views from the top of these behemoths send your heart rate rocketing as you gaze over fields of rippling dunes, with the Atlantic ocean shimmering in the distance. At night, you sleep under a 1000 carat diamond sky, with no artificial light for hundreds of miles. The star gazing here is epic.
