Namibe Desert & Coast Expedition: Baía dos Tigres & Cunene River Mouth 5-Day

Arrive in Namibe where you will be met and transferred to your accommodation. After check-in, you’ll
have time to settle in and review the route briefing with your guide/driver, including safety, supplies,
and timing for the remote days ahead. Depending on your arrival time, enjoy a short scenic outing
around Namibe’s coastline or nearby desert viewpoints for a relaxed introduction to the region before
returning to the lodge for dinner and an early night.

After an early breakfast, depart south toward Tômbua, the last major coastal town before the remote
stretch. Here you’ll stop to refuel and finalize any last supplies. Continue by 4×4 along rugged coastal
and desert tracks toward the extraordinary Baía dos Tigres, a dramatic meeting point of dunes, ocean,
and abandoned settlements. Arrive in time to explore the shoreline and capture the late-afternoon light
over the dunes and Atlantic coast. Set up camp and enjoy a bush-style dinner under the stars.
