Absolutely stunning place to visit! Drive there as early as possible to avoid high heat. Walk to Deadvlei valley from car park is 30 mins or less ON SAND! can be difficult terrain. So peaceful and special - what an absolute honour to visit here. Pictures have no filter

Deadvlei is a majestical wonder! I always make a point of going past this location even if I have seen this before. It is just breathtakingly beautiful! It is a bit of a walk to get to the deadvlei from the parking area (+-2km), the difficult park of this is the thick sand. Once there you won’t regret it.

I was seriously blown away by the view—it looked like something straight out of a Windows wallpaper or another world. Even driving through the desert road to get there was so much fun!

It was indeed a full day trip out. At DeadVlei main car park, you can pay for a 4×4 to take you nearer to the sight or use your own vehicle. A little walk gets you to DeadVlei. The heat was 40 degrees C, and one should keep themselves well protected from the sun. Plenty of water is needed too. What a beautiful and interesting place. Was it worth my 225-mile drive to visit? Yes.

It was the best experience until now. The feeling you run off the top of the sand dune after walking up 45 mins was the best! It's very hot and dry, cover yourself with sun cream carefully 🥹

A must when in Namibia. We climbed the dunes as well, it was really exhausting. There was a lot of people there. Go as early as possible in the morning. If you’re not use to drive in sand - take the shuttles instead and leave the driving to the professionals.

Me, My mother and my son just had a wonderful and unforgettable time here, enjoying not only the natural beauty and cultural diversity but also the comfort and amenities of Camping site. You can stay in the campsite for the night, and pay the entrance fee in advance before 18:00, then the next day you needn’t to worry about the long queue. You will have plenty of time to wait for the sunrise on top of Dunes 45.

Long drive, but well worth it. Bring snacks and a good appetite for a sandy hike. Absolutely stunning
