Sossusvlei was one of the most amazing places we've ever visit! Nature at its best and we will always remember the dunes that seemed on fire at sunrise. A real pity though that the toilets were so extremely dirty!

I can never grow weary of this place because every time I visit it, it looks completely different! Nature is indeed! To reach sossusvlei, you can drive with a 4x4 ( highly recommend) or 2x4 However, deadvlei can only be reached with a 4x4 which if you don’t have can be hired in the park for N$ 200 per adult and N$100 for children. There are various forms of accommodation around sossusvlei!

Sossusvlei was a surreal and incredible desert experience — never thought I’d make it to a place like this. We hiked the soft sand dunes and reached impressive heights. The heat was intense and the 4-hour hike was tough, but absolutely worth it!

Deadvlei is a must visit. Advisable to get there by 8am. Don't wear open shoes. You'll need water on your way back

Definitely a must see if you are in Namibia. Beautiful National park which open the entrance at the sunrise. So be there early to get a beautiful view. You have several things to see like dune 45, big daddy dune and the stunning deadvlei.
