The desert covering most of this region is believed to be the oldest desert known to man. The amazing sand dunes at Sossusvlei refract spectacular colours with the changing light, turning from bright orange to red to a dark mauve. One of the best ways to experience the dunes is to climb them. Getting to the top does require a certain amount of effort but its well worth it and the slide down with shoes off feeling the sand between your toes makes for an exciting ride.
Although almost 300 kilometres from any main road, a visit to Namibia would not be complete without visiting Sossusvlei within the great Namib Naukluft National Park. If you are not on a self drive safari then the best way to view the awesome scenery would be by means of a light aircraft or hot air balloon.
Based on our local knowledge, Africa Uncovered has selected an excellent portfolio of Sossusvlei Lodges for you to choose from.
