Sossusvlei has some of the highest sand dunes in the world. The tallest is “Big Daddy” which is 380 tall.
It’s hard to think of a more spectacular sunrise than the one at Sossusvlei – or so I’m told. No, I wasn’t too lazy. I did get up in the wee hours of the morning while it was still dark to get that photo that everyone gets when they go to Namibia. You know, the one of the sunrise peering over some of the highest sand dunes in the world, illuminating the sand? I didn’t get that because my driver slept in and was 45 minutes late picking me up. You can’t make that stuff up.
