The dunes of Sossusvlei are some of the highest in the world, as the sun hits the red sand, dramatic shadows play across their surface and a hike up either Big Daddy or Dune 45 offers truly unbeatable panoramic views.

Other dramatic locations include the Sesriem Canyon, carved by an ancient river, as well as Hidden Vlei, all in all, cementing Sossusvlei as a bucket-list destination for adventurers and photographers alike. 

Amidst this stark desert beauty, Sossusvlei’s luxury lodges offer a haven from the desert conditions. These lodges blend seamlessly with the landscape, providing comfortable and luxurious accommodations while allowing you to remain intimately connected with the desert surroundings.
