DAY 6
Our sixth day began with a drive down to Walvis Bay where we were taken on a boat tour hoping to catch some dolphins but we didn’t see any unfortunately. We did see the coast, along with the oyster farms the area is known for as well as local wildlife like pelicans and seals.
We then headed down with the X5s along the coast and beach to a surprise lunch spot.
From here, we were advised how to drive on the sand, as we were heading to the sand dunes! We spent a good few hours out in the Namib desert before heading back along the coast back to our hotel.
DAY 7
Our seventh day would be our last day of driving, as we headed back toward Windhoek and the Okapuka Ranch by way of a sweeping mountain pass called the Gamsberg Pass. Stunning scenery! After arriving back where we started everything, everyone met up for a long dinner and saying some goodbyes to new friends. The people we met were really wonderful and it was unique that an event like this brought people from different countries together, all united with a common interest.
Our final day was short as it was just breakfast, a few more goodbyes then our shuttle back to the airport where we made our long trek back home. Truly, a trip of a lifetime! If you have the chance to do it, gofor it! The program will run this year then will be on hiatus until the new model X5s arrive.
