3-Day Sossusvlei Adventure

Description

This 3-day tour will take you to Namibia’s most popular sights. You will go to the Namib Desert and Sossusvlei, where some of the tallest sand dunes in the world are found. One of Namibia’s most beautiful places is in the country’s south. Sossusvlei can be regarded as a year-round location in terms of avoiding rain with an annual rainfall of barely 50 mm (2 inches). Almost all rain falls in the summer, typically as thunderstorms from December through February. The vleis, low-lying spaces between the dunes, occasionally fill with water and create stunning scenery. The scenery will astound you whenever you arrive, regardless of the season. Although admittedly slightly warmer in the summer, temperatures are warm all year round. In typical desert tradition, it is also exceedingly dry. But occasionally throughout the summer, it may rain over the surrounding area, and on exceptionally rare occasions, it can even rain in the Sossusvlei region itself. You might catch a glimpse of the extremely rare sight of patches of green grass on the dunes and generally dry pans filled with water during this season.
