The Namib Desert is one of the oldest deserts in the world, and stretches along the western part of Namibia along the coast and up to the south-western part of Angola.
The huge red sand dunes at Sossusvlei are the most popular and visited tourist attraction in Namibia. If you want to experience them for yourself, please ask us to plan an itinerary for you including Sossusvlei as part of your trip to Namibia.
Even if you have never been here before, the scenery may look familiar, due to the fact that it has been used as the setting for many films and advertisements worldwide.
The dunes have almost become the 'trademark' of Namibian tourism and are the photos most featured in tourist literature about the country.
Whilst the journey to get there is long, it is truly worth the effort.
The contrast between the clear blue skies, deep red dunes, and the cracked white base of the dry lakes (vleis) lends itself to some truly stunning photography, and climbing the easily accessible dunes to get a view over the spectacular 'dune sea' is unforgettable.
Balloon rides and scenic flights are very popular as well, and provide a fabulous opportunity to see the full extent of the dune sea which the Namib Desert is so famous for.
