About this experience
This tour showcases the best of Namibia, combining the dramatic beauty of **Sandwich Harbour** and the iconic **Sossusvlei**. At Sandwich Harbour, where towering sand dunes meet the Atlantic Ocean, you'll discover a paradise for photographers. The interplay of golden dunes, azure waters, and diverse birdlife creates an otherworldly setting that captivates every visitor.
In the scenic **Namib-Naukluft National Park**, Sossusvlei offers the iconic red dunes of the Namib Desert, rising nearly 400 meters. These dunes come alive in the morning and evening light, providing endless opportunities for stunning photography. The area is home to unique desert wildlife, including oryx, springbok, and ostriches. Visitors can climb ‘Big Daddy,’ one of the tallest dunes, and explore Deadvlei, a surreal white clay pan scattered with ancient trees—a sight found only in Namibia.
This journey offers the ultimate experience for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike.
