Sossusvlei
Published by Shebeen
26th January 2008
Sossusvlei is a salt pan in the central Namib Desert, lying within the Namib-Naukluft National Park. Fed by the Tsauchab River, it is known for the high, red sand dunes which surround it, forming a major sand sea.

The Dead Vlei and Hidden Vlei lie near Sossusvlei. Entry path to Dead Vlei starts cca. 500 m before entering Sossusvlei with your 4x4. It is 1.1 km (one way) heavy trip over sand dunes to the exciting salt pan with both dead and green trees. The oldest trees are cca. 900 years old. The whole pan looks like big white soccer playground surrounded by red dunes and dark blue sky.
