Day 2 Sossusvlei Area

This day calls for an early rise, as you will
forever remember the picture of a sunrise over
the mighty dunes of the Namib Desert. Gaze at
the bright splash of sun-baked sand combined
with the mighty play of shadows cast onto the
layside of the dunes. From Sossusvlei visit
Dead Vlei, a surreal white clay pan surrounded
by monumental dunes and dotted with age-old
camelthorn trees. Travelling back, visit the
Sesriem Canyon, an 18 million year old gorge
eroded into the conglomerate floor.
