Namibia

From Windhoek to Sossusvlei

Sossusvlei and its surroundings are a must-see at least once in your life. The drive there gave us a perfect taste of what the coming week had in store: endless gravel roads. You’ll drive 190 km straight before needing to turn. But the landscape you pass through feels surreal.

A day on the road

We drove about 7 hours toward our first stop. Along the way, we already caught glimpses of wildlife: ostriches, oryxes, and baboons. And the scenery was absolutely stunning!

Sunset in the oldest desert in the world

The Sossusvlei is the oldest desert in the world and very famous. Everywhere you look, you’ll see the tallest dunes you can climb. It's great to drive through during golden hour!
