Leave early, to be at the Sesriem gate at sunrise to catch the cooler weather and magnificent morning light. A short walk leads to the vlei, where ancient skeletons of camelthorn trees reach heavenwards from the chalky pan.

Dead Vlei is one of the most striking sites in Namibia and a photographer’s dream. Be sure to wear closed shoes and take a small bottle of water with you – for your own comfort on this incredible walk through the dunes.
