Where light gives the land its edge.
Look closely at Sossusvlei, Deadvlei and Sesriem, then connect the places with a considered plan.
Different ground, different ways of looking
A dune edge, a pale pan and a narrow canyon ask for different kinds of attention. Start with the place itself.
Sand and pale ground
Separate the dunes around Sossusvlei from Deadvlei’s pan, and keep the name of each place close to its photograph.
Sossusvlei and Deadvlei are often paired in an itinerary. Look at what each named stop contains, how it fits the route and where you want time to pause.
