Dead Vlei
Dead Vlei is a surreal and otherworldly landscape located in the heart of Namib-Naukluft National Park in Namibia. This ancient clay pan is surrounded by towering red sand dunes that have been sculpted by the wind over millions of years. The stark contrast between the white clay floor and the deep red sand dunes creates a dramatic and unforgettable scene. Dead Vlei is a popular destination for photographers, who come from all over the world to capture the unique beauty of this desert landscape. The area offers a variety of photography locations, including the iconic dead trees that stand in stark contrast to the surrounding sand dunes, as well as the sweeping vistas of the desert landscape.

Big Daddy is the tallest dune in the Sossusvlei area. This magnificent dune is situated between Sossusvlei and Deadvlei and at 325 meters it dwarfs the other dunes. Should you want the ultimate bragging rights, take a lot of water and trek to the top of Big Daddy where you can look down onto Deadvlei.
