3-DAY SOSSUSVLEI FLY-IN

Windhoek - Dead Vlei - Namiba Naukluft Park.

Magic Moments in a Spellbinding Desert Panorama

Sossusvlei is a world of fascinating ecology and unearthly geography. Vivid white clay saltpans tinged with pink, petrified drifts and towering deep-red sand dunes make for a desert experience that is beyond compare. See the changing colours of the desert sands by sunset on a magnificent sundowner drive. Explore the rugged Sesriem Canyon where you can view millions of years of sedimentary layers in the ravine walls. The unique desert wildlife is fantastic, from graceful melon-eating antelope to fog-collecting beetles and the resilient black-backed jackals. This is truly one of the world’s most remarkable regions.

Highlights

• Visit the achingly beautiful Dead Vlei, where endless blue skies stretch over a hauntingly alone terrain.

• The extraordinary and unforgettable spectacle of the desert sands changing colour as the sun sets.
