Internationally celebrated as a photographer’s paradise, Sossusvlei is defined by its monumental sand dunes, sculpted by multi-directional winds. The area’s breathtaking scenery and wild, romantic spirit make it truly unforgettable. At its heart lies a vast, dry clay pan, surrounded by what are said to be the highest dunes in the world. After sufficient rainfall, the pan comes alive with flamingos and other aquatic birds.

There are countless ways to experience the desert from Damaraland Camp. Track desert-adapted elephants and other wildlife on game drives while learning their remarkable survival strategies in this arid landscape.
