Sossusvlei

The beautiful red dunes of Sossusvlei offer some of the best landscape photography in Namibia.

Dead Vlei

Dead Pan no longer receives any flow of water because dunes cut it off. The bottom has dried to a white salt pan, and the dead acacia trees have turned into black skeletons. This is a beautiful place to hike around sunrise, but gets very hot by mid-morning.
