Sossusvlei is one of Namibia’s most iconic visitor attractions and is almost always top of people’s list of things to see and do when planning a trip here. The area is characterised by towering red sand dunes, some of which are permissible to be climbed by visitors. Visits to the dunes generally take place in the early mornings so avoid the heat of the day for walkers and to allow photographers to take advantage of the extraordinary natural light, which often leaves one side of the dune in complete shadow and the other in bright sunlight.
Best experiences
Trek through the Sossusvlei
Take a hike up Dune 45; the fine sand does make it a bit of an arduous journey but the views over the dunes to the Deadvlei Sea are incredible. Top tip is to take off your shoes and wear your socks to climb, they create more traction on the fine sand.
Experience a desert dune safari
Travel to the heart of the Sossusvlei Desert in your jeep with your guide who will show you around this vast, breathtaking landscape. Challenge yourself with a climb to the top of the massive ‘Big Daddy,’ the tallest dune in the Sossusvlei area at 325 metres.
Take a quad bike across the dunes
Spend the day racing around the dunes of the Namib Desert on a 4x4 vehicle. With the sun, sand and wind in your hair, this is a thrilling experience not to be missed. The quad bikes will give you a sense of freedom, and adrenaline, like no other.OUR FAVOURITE PLACES TO STAY
