Sossusvlei, Namibia

Deadvlei

Sossusvlei is located in the southern part of the Namib Desert, in the Namib-Naukluft National Park of Namibia. These dunes are among the highest in the world. The tallest sand dune in Sossusvlei is 'Big Daddy' at 1066 ft/325 m.

It was about 380km drive from Walvis Bay. We spent 2 days here. Driving back and forth from our lodge in Hammerstein which is about 104km away. The long drive was absolutely worth it.
 

Amazing views - love the contour and shadows of the sand dunes

The sand here is about is 5 million years old, its so soft and fine that I had to take my shoes off as they just kept getting filled in. I kept my socks on though, because the sand gets quite hot at some spots.
