Sossusvlei Namibia, Safari Sossusvlei Wilderness, Lodges
Sossusvlei is a key destination in the whole of Namibia with several dune monuments projecting as high as 325 meters from the ground. The star-shaped dunes are much looked for by photographers plus artists. They were formed as a result of powerful multi-directional winds and are most scenic when the Tsauchab River flowing in the west drains entirely into the vlei. The warm colors of the sand that vary between orange, maroon, apricot and red differ brightly with the vivid white surface of the big clan pans at their bottom. After heavy rains and the Tsauchab River over floods into the main pan, several flamingoes plus additional aquatic birds are seen in this region.
At the entrance of Sossusvlei is Sesriem Canyon where many centuries of severe erosion have curved a narrow gorge one kilometer long. The gorge sinks 30 to 40 meters below into pools that get refilled after heavy rains. The Canyon got its name from the era when the ancient pioneers ties 6 lengths of animal hides together so as to draw water from the several pools below.
