A dead but photogenic camel thorn stands out beautifully against the red-colored dunes and blue sky. This is the picture of <a href=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/en\/africa\/namibia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Namibia<\/a> that everyone knows and which appears on covers of books. It is what attracts tourists to the Sossusvlei. It is therefore fair to say that Sossusvlei is the country's most famous highlight. It is a surreal place made of nothing but sand.

To enter the national park, you must be in the town of Sesriem. At the entrance gate, your license plate number is noted and you can buy a permit at the front desk. We paid 325 NAD (about \u20ac19) per person in July 2022. This price is based on 3 days of Sossusvlei, excluding our overnight stay at Sesriem Campsite. Once you have a permit you can drive to the next gate after which a road of about 60 kilometers stretches ahead of you into the national park. This road will lead you to the highlights of Sossusvlei. <\/span><\/p><p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, keep in mind that the national park is open from sunrise to sunset.

This is because you drive over very loose sand here and good driving techniques are definitely important. We braved the loose sand with our 4\u00d74 jeep, but I must honestly admit that it was an exciting 5 kilometers. If you don't dare, you can park your car in the parking lot at Hiddenvlei and take the transfer to Big Daddy, Deadvlei and Sossusvlei. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once parked, continue on foot and walk toward Deadvlei. To the left in front of you you will see the giant sand dune Big Daddy. Soon you will see the flanks of the dune to your left so you can start the climb up from here. Climbing up over the edge of the dune is a tough challenge so be sure to have plenty of water with you and easy clothes on. The sun slowly rising above the horizon and giving the dunes a beautiful golden glow is breathtaking and makes it well worth the challenge. Allow at least an hour to an hour and a half for a climb to the top. Watch the sunrise while braving the 325-high sand dune. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

However, you will be standing here with dozens of other travelers, which is not our preference. The 170-meter-high dune can be reached after a 45-kilometer drive from the entrance gate, which takes about half an hour. Depending on how fast you walk up through the sand, the climb to the top takes about 45 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3ca9bed elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"39661\" data-id=\"3ca9bed\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5440abd\" data-eae-slider=\"64225\" data-id=\"5440abd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eeb9a9d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"eeb9a9d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"902\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Dune-45-zonsopkomst.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-41003\" alt=\"Dune 45 sunrise\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Dune-45-zonsopkomst.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Dune-45-zonsopkomst-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Dune 45 in the morning sun<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5184500\" data-eae-slider=\"6314\" data-id=\"5184500\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8992a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a8992a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"902\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Dune-45.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-41004\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Dune-45.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Dune-45-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The climb up for the sunrise<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-999d714 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"17175\" data-id=\"999d714\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8dd259c\" data-eae-slider=\"93706\" data-id=\"8dd259c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c7c6a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3c7c6a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>3.

The water disappeared and the once muddy ground transformed into a broken up white clay plain. The dead camel thorn trees in Deadvlei are hundreds of years old.

The glare of the sun in the water and the reflection of the trees and dunes are dazzling. You can walk around the Sossusvlei or climb the sand dune called Big Mama.

This canyon was once created by the Tsauchab River, which made its way between the huge rock formations. You can hike through the eroded canyon.

Elim Dune<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Close to Sesriem Campsite is Elim Dune on the edge of the national park and, according to a local, a beautiful place to watch the sun set. We drive to Elim Dune which at first appears to be just a mountain. But the closer we get we see that like all dunes it is a sand dune, but one with vegetation. Where we climbed Big Daddy barefoot, this is not recommended for this dune. The dune reeds are quite sharp and can sting the soles of your feet. The climb to the top, at least 1 hour, of the dune is tough, especially since you can't see the top from the start. Every time you think \"after this climb I have reached the top,\" another hill comes up. Once at the top, it is definitely worth it. The sun sets beautifully as it turns the Sossusvlei and Namib-Naukluft National Park insanely beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f36117d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"85682\" data-id=\"f36117d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-173ad58\" data-eae-slider=\"38274\" data-id=\"173ad58\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfccc66 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bfccc66\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Zonsondergang-Elim-Dune-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-40999\" alt=\"Sunset Elim Dune\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Zonsondergang-Elim-Dune-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Zonsondergang-Elim-Dune-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Zonsondergang-Elim-Dune-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Zonsondergang-Elim-Dune-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Zonsondergang-Elim-Dune.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">View from Elim Dune<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-65120eb\" data-eae-slider=\"58021\" data-id=\"65120eb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa2b456 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"aa2b456\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"902\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Elim-Dune-Namibie.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-40998\" alt=\"Elim Dune Namibia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Elim-Dune-Namibie.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Elim-Dune-Namibie-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Sunset from Elim Dune<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a0c1fca elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"57766\" data-id=\"a0c1fca\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3838eb4\" data-eae-slider=\"2566\" data-id=\"3838eb4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d609e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9d609e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Staying overnight in Sossusvlei national park<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The very best tip we can give you for visiting Sossusvlei is to stay overnight in the national park. The advantage you have with this is that you can enter the park one hour earlier and also leave the park one hour later than visitors staying outside the national park. We stayed with our 4\u00d74 jeep with rooftop tent at one of the camping spots of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwr.com.na\/resorts\/sesriem-campsite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NWR Sesriem Campsite<\/a><\/strong>. It is advisable to reserve a camping spot on time due to the popularity of Sossusvlei. Reservations can be made online through NWR.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, there are other interesting accommodations where you can stay in the Sossusvlei. For example, you have <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwr.com.na\/resorts\/sossus-dune-lodge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sossus Dune Lodge <\/a><\/strong>of NWR, but also the beautiful <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/na\/desert-quiver-camp.en.html?aid=1543033&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Desert Quiver Camp<\/a><\/strong>.

Sossusvlei<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sossusvlei in Namibia is a particularly unique place to visit and should really not be missed in your itinerary. To get the most out of your visit, we have listed some more practical tips for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">Spend the night in Sossusvlei National Park. Because you can enter the park earlier and leave the park later, you can get so much more out of your day.<\/span><\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit the national park with your own car, preferably a 4WD. There are many tours you can book but driving around independently, climbing dunes and enjoying the panoramic views whenever you want gives you the ultimate feeling of freedom.<\/span><\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you drive through the loose sand to the parking lot for Deadvlei, you do not necessarily need to lower your tire pressure. Of course you will have more grip if you do. But a good 4WD will get you through the loose sand just fine.<\/span><\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is only one paved road in the national park, but if you want to go off the beaten path and discover new places then it is recommended to use the app maps.me. On this you can navigate offline at all times!<\/span><\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walking barefoot is always nice through the sand, but the sand here can get very hot. Therefore, it is recommended to wear closed and sturdy shoes.<\/span><\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take plenty of water with you into the national park.<\/span><\/p><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not least, bring your camera and make sure the battery is fully charged!<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-97c83bb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"57939\" data-id=\"97c83bb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-93369b9\" data-eae-slider=\"78933\" data-id=\"93369b9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01c7324 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"01c7324\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Reisvoorstel-op-maat-Travander-1024x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-61307\" alt=\"customized travel proposal - Travander\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Reisvoorstel-op-maat-Travander-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Reisvoorstel-op-maat-Travander-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Reisvoorstel-op-maat-Travander-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Reisvoorstel-op-maat-Travander-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Reisvoorstel-op-maat-Travander-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Reisvoorstel-op-maat-Travander-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Reisvoorstel-op-maat-Travander.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a598d1f\" data-eae-slider=\"75648\" data-id=\"a598d1f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ed8280 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0ed8280\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Take a tour of Namibia<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ff8dcc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4ff8dcc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Do you want to take a trip through Namibia, but aren't quite sure how to go about it?
