Essentially, the Sossusvlei is an enormous clay pan surrounded by giant sand dunes. Situated in the heart of the Namib Desert, it truly is one of Namibia’s top tourist destinations. Some of these sand dunes reach a world-record height of 300 metres. The clay pan fills with water on the rare occasions of heavy rainfall, when guests are treated to the spectacle of a beautiful turquoise lake.
The Sossusvlei dunes are found in the Namib Naukluft Park; the biggest conservation site in Africa and the fourth-biggest in the world. Shaped by the sheer force of wind over millions of years, the dunes of the Namib Desert are magnificent, for lack of a better word, and a vital inclusion to any African holiday itinerary.
Sossusvlei accommodation captures the heart of this captivating destination, and ensures that guests leave feeling relaxed, fulfilled and inspired. Take your pick from a range of available lodges, campsites, and guest farms and brace yourself for the holiday of a lifetime!
