Verified traveler

This entire area from Sossusvlei to Solitaire is so beautiful and precious, we are thankful that we’ve had a chance to experience it. The words that kept coming up (besides “beautiful”) were “otherworldly” and “psychedelic”!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Lots of activities to do in the area

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

You must be very physically fit to climb the dunes or not worth the trouble of driving there on the worst gravel roads. Unfair policy that only those who pay a high price have access to the dunes at sunrise and sunset. Limited food options.
