  • We will meet at the airport where we will directly depart for Sossusvlei via the scenic Spreetshoogte Pass. We will camp at Sesriem, to enter the park already on day one, meaning we will get to Sossusvlei & Deadvlei before most people as we do not have to enter the park again.

    Accommodation: Camping

  • On day 2, we will have a very early departure towards Sossusvlei, where we will be some of the first visitors for the day. The early morning light will enhance the visual experience of this magical UNESCO World Heritage Site.
