Located in Namibia’s Namib-Naukluft National Park, Sossusvlei is one of the most beautiful and popular places in Southern Africa.
The name “Sossusvlei” is often used to describe a large park area, including well-known spots like Dune 45, Deadvlei, Big Daddy, and Sesriem Canyon. These attractions make Sossusvlei a top destination in Namibia.
“Sossusvlei” means “dead-end marsh,” which describes how the sand dunes in this area come together and stop the Tsauchab River from flowing any further.
However, in the dry Namib Desert, the river rarely reaches this far, leaving a dry, cracked pan most of the time. While the whole area is called Sossusvlei, Deadvlei is the main highlight, though Big Daddy, the highest dune in the park, is also a must-see. Sossusvlei is one of the best places to experience Namibia’s incredible desert landscape.
