Is a holiday rental in Sossusvlei worth it?

Sossusvlei in the Namib-Naukluft National Park is home to the highest sand dunes in the world — some over 300 meters high — in colors ranging from bright orange to deep red. The Namib is the oldest desert on Earth (80 million years), and Sossusvlei is its most dramatic expression. The most famous dune, "Big Daddy" (325m), offers a strenuous climb with a reward that makes every step worth it: the view over the endless dune landscape and the white Deadvlei with its 900-year-old dead camel thorn trees — one of the most photographed subjects in Africa. At sunrise, when the dunes glow in red and orange and the shadows create knife-like contrasts, it is clear why photographers from all over the world flock here. The surrounding Sesriem and Sossusvlei lodges offer a luxury safari feeling in the middle of the desert.
