Known as the ‘Sand Sea,’ Sossusvlei is sandwiched between the Atlantic’s cold Benguela Current and a rocky mountain escarpment that runs parallel more than 100 kilometres (62 miles) inland. It is a photographer’s dream.
Rich sunsets, the finest nights skies on the continent and some of the world’s most dramatic sand dune scenery will make any photograph beautiful and every day spent memorable. Visitors never get tired of goggling at the scenery here and could be kept busy for days getting lost in this vast land of photographic opportunity.
However you like to explore, it will be possible in Sossusvlei. Hiking is particularly good here and the view from the top of a Sossusvlei dune is quite breath-taking. If you are inspired by a bird’s eye view of the ocean of sand, take a hot-air balloon ride and see how far the dunes stretch from above. Or embark on a game drive in the dunes area looking for springbok and the various smaller animals which call Sossusvlei home. One thing is certain; Sossusvlei will leave you in awe.
Namibia certainly does not do anything in halves. The skies are starrier, animals’ stranger and the landscapes more dramatic than anywhere else in Africa. An arid and never-ending land of sand dune horizons, pink sunsets and desert adapted animals sets Namibia apart as a one of a kind African adventure destination and certainly not the safari “norm”.

The Skeleton Coast is wild, desolate and has definitely earned its name. It has everything from roaring sand dunes and windswept plains, to towering canyons and salt-pans.
Etosha National Park rivals some of the very best game viewing areas in Africa. The animals concentrate here like nowhere else on the continent.
