Sossusvlei & the Red Dunes: The 15 Best Trips

15 reviewed

The gate at Sesriem opens before sunrise and the good light on Dune 45 lasts about an hour, so the trip you book decides whether you are inside for it. Compared here: two-day and three-day runs from Swakopmund and Windhoek, who walks you into Deadvlei, who sleeps at the gate, and what the whole thing costs per person.

“Great tour if you want to see Sossusvlei on a budget with a good guide. We were a group of 9 tourists from different countries, some travelling solo like me. Camping, good schedule (the afternoon is free, as it is too hot), dinner was good (lunch could have been better), and there is a transfer to/from the airport included.”

“Helt fantastisk tur fra dør til dør. Utrolig bra service fra sjåføren min Eroll. Logen vi bodde på er så luxurious og beliggenheten fantastisk. Mat service 5 av 5 stjerner. Aktivitetene -Dette er en «må gjøre» tur. Det å gå opp Dune 45 i morgensol er fantastisk. Utsikten er utrolig. Utrolig heldig at det har regnet her for første gang på år. Utrolig vakkert. Å gå inn i Deathvlei med trærne og kontrastene mellom røde sanddyner, knall blå himmel hvit grunn og svarte trær er utrolig. Canionen var også utrolig. Så flere dyr på kjøreturen og naturen er til å miste pusten av”
