Tour Sossusvlei | Tour Deadvlei | Tour Sesriem

This morning requires an early start, around 7:00am. You will visit Sossusvlei (Dune 45), Deadvlei, and Sesriem Canyon in your rented vehicle.

You'll spend the morning exploring the dune fields. The Namib Sand Sea is the second UNESCO World Heritage Site for Namibia (2013). One of the oldest, driest and most pristine areas on Earth, the Namib Desert is a world of vast spaces, endless horizons, dramatic deserts capes and jagged mountain heights. The best
time for photography in the dunes is early in the morning when the rising sun still casts shadows that give depth and contrast to the dunes.

You'll drive along the ancient Tsauchab riverbed until the tar road ends, the last few kilometres of thick sand to reach Sossusvlei: "the gathering place of the water." Sossusvlei is a striking white pan surrounded by ancient Camelthorn trees and the towering orange dunes of Namib. You'll visit Sesriem Canyon, a 30-meter deep gauge incised into the desert floor by the Tsauchab River. You'll rest in the afternoon and relax.

The sand dunes of Sossusvlei are one of the greatest natural wonders of southern Africa, and you'll get to see it all. Access to this remarkable place is along a long sand valley lined with dunes of seemingly impossible size and beauty. Climb one for incredible views, and then enjoy the warm and softening colors of the sand near sunrise and sunset.

Climb to the top of Dune 45, one of the most shapely and accessible of the dunes in Sossusvlei. The dune gets its name from the location (it's 45km from Sesriem). It's a challenging climb in the soft sand, but you can take your time and your reward is fantastic views from the summit. There are some good trees nearby for photos with dunes in the background.

You may decide on an optional activity. Why not? For sunrise, a trip in a hot air balloon. You will float in the air while admiring one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. You will be served a glass of champagne and a full breakfast at the landing. This activity is not included in the price and will be charged at ZAR 11352 per person (which is equivalent to US $615 per person).
