Sossusvlei Road – Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namibia
The starting point of the Sossusvlei Road is Sesriem in Namibia, a small village hosting most lodges and campsites. This roadway features about 37 miles of a paved path followed by an off-road section through sandy untamed terrain of almost 3.1 miles that requires an SUV. The entire route is a must-try for visitors.
The most remarkable sights along the way are Dune 45, renowned for its stunning colors, and Big Daddy, Namibia’s second most famous dune, from the peak of which tourists can take in the magnificent vistas of the vicinity. The arid location is surprisingly home to various animals, including hyenas and leopards.
