An early morning rise with snacks and coffee enables you to arrive at Sesriem gate around sunrise, traversing the Tsauchab dry riverbed, which has found a way through the dunes until it reaches the clay pan - Sossusvlei. The early morning sun offers spectacular pastel colors in the star-shaped dunes.

Your first stop will be at Dune 45. You'll climb one of the dunes and you might be overwhelmed by the sight of the dynamic and living desert!

You'll enjoy a picnic breakfast under a shady camelthorn tree before you continue to the 'Dead Vlei'. You'll also visit the Sesriem Canyon, a 30-metre deep rift, for a leisurely walk, before you return to your accommodation for a late lunch.
