Explore The Highest Sand Dunes In The World


Explore the highest sand dunes in the world
browse (1 / 3)

A world of untouched beauty unfurls in the ripples of enormous sand dunes that crest gorgeous amber sunrises and sunsets – Sossusvlei is home to some of the highest sand dunes in the world, towering at some 300 metres. The age-old castles of the world's oldest desert are monuments of unparalleled beauty. The vast openness and serene solitude are portals to a world of beautiful loneliness. Sossusvlei is a dried-up clay pan that is surrounded by towering dunes that close in on each side.

The remoteness is punctuated by the vacant gaze of the Oryx and Gemsbok standing beneath rare Acacia trees with the giant blue dome of the sky as a backdrop. The apricot-coloured sand dunes stretch out infinitely into the distance and the dunes at Sossusvlei make for the perfect sundown and sunrise spots to enjoy breath-taking views and cocktails as the sun melts behind the shifting oranges, reds and mauves of the dunes. Distance lends enchantment to the view.

4-wheel drive vehicles are a pre-requisite to reach the Sossusvlei, particularly the last five kilometres. Explore the sandstone gorges of the Sesriem Canyon with their towering sides and rock pools. The photo opportunities at the Sossusvlei are unparalleled. In the mornings the colours of the dunes change from orange to red to mauve almost at will. Return to luxury lodgings in the evenings to enjoy star-gazing from the roof-top platforms and mouth-watering meals around raging bondfires. Guided walks and drives in the Sossusvlei are also available.
