Sossusvlei - Deadvlei

Depart before sunrise with your guide to enter the Namib-Naukluft Park in the beautiful early-morning light. Travel along the dune corridor, where the rising sun gradually illuminates the enormous red dunes on either side of the road.

Stop at Dune 45, where guests may climb part or all of the dune for wonderful panoramic views.
