Sossusvlei Desert Luxury Experience - Image 1

Tour Overview

Sossusvlei is home to the tallest sand dunes on Earth, some rising over 300 metres in spectacular shades of red, orange, and apricot. This desert landscape has been sculpted by wind over 5 million years and is one of the most photographed destinations in Africa. This luxury desert experience includes sunrise at the iconic Dune 45, the surreal Deadvlei clay pan with its 900-year-old dead camel thorn trees, hot air balloon flights over the dune sea, and guided nature walks to discover the extraordinary desert-adapted life that thrives in this seemingly barren landscape.
