Go early 9 (6 am when gate opens) for light, temperature and loneliness. Not necessary to take shuttle from parking (R100pp) to drive the last meters to Dead Vlei, easy drive with your own 4x4. More

The Namib part of the Namib-Naukluft park with Dune 45, Elim Dune, Sossusvlei & Dead Vlei is definitely worth your visit! We stayed at the Sossus Oasis Campsite, the closest one outside the park. The climbs and the views are superb in early morning, and by 11am we were back at the campsite. A tip if you want to see... More

At the entrance to the park there toilets, cafe, grocery and curio shops. The park reception is also here where park fees should be paid (180 $NAB for 2 adults and car). This permits entry to the park and to the Canyon. The vehicle is logged in (and out) of the park about 500m on the park road. Speed limit... More

The road into Sossusvlei is very good easy to drive. Don't miss the Dead Vlei which is at the far end of Sossusvlei. Just spectacular. A must... More

It's a long way for just about anyone to travel, unless you have a private jet, but it's worth the time and effort. The Sand Dunes are monumental and the rest of the scenery and wildlife only add to the adventure. Climb at least one of the several dunes, but do so EARLY in the morning - that means getting... More

Take a walk (or the shuttle) to a lake that runs death in the desert in between the sky-scraping red dunes. An amazing landscape. Climb Dune 45. Test yourself and hike up to Death Vlei with it's crackled clay floor and petrified trees. Once there, take the 1,5km hike to other side of Death Vlei and experience the confusion of... More

When I was booking my African Adventure tour (Northern Experience) with Jenman Safaris, the photos of Sossuvlei were some of the most exciting and intriguing. As a amateur photographer, I was dying to see this attraction in person! We had a very early start from our camp, which turned out to be a great idea since it is cooler in... More
