Dunes of Sossusvlei

$200.00$2,800.00

The sand here is 5 million years old and is red in colour due to its iron oxide content.  The wind in the Sossusvlei area blows from all directions, which means that the type of the dunes hare are known as “star dunes”.  This is because the winds cause the sand to form a star shape with multiple arms. In the morning and evening light the floor of the pan has been described as a “moonscape” and is truly a sight to behold.

Situated in the largest conservation area in Africa (the Namib-Naukluft National Park), Sossusvlei is possibly Namibia’s most spectacular and best-known attraction. Characterised by the large red dunes that surround it, Sossusvlei is a large, white, salt and clay pan and is a great destination all year round. The dunes in this area are some of the highest in the world, reaching almost 400 meters, and provide photographic enthusiasts with wonderful images in the beautiful morning and evening light. Sossusvlei literally translates to “dead-end marsh”, as it is the place where the dunes come together preventing the Tsauchab River to flow any further, some 60km east of the Atlantic Ocean.
