Today, discover Sesriem, your gateway to the iconic dunes of Sossusvlei (approximately 465 kilometres). As there is no accommodation at Sossusvlei, visitors to this desert wilderness will stay in Sesriem, 65 kilometres away, where camps and lodges serve as a base from which to explore the dunes. Sesriem Canyon, a deep chasm carved through the rocks by water, is a striking natural feature of the area that is best explored on foot. Stony walls rise up sharply on both sides of the canyon, while birds roost in its crags and lizards dart along the ledges. The canyon’s name was coined when early settlers used it as a water source, using six lengths of leather (‘ses riem' – six thongs) tied together to lower buckets into the water at the base of the canyon).

Desert Camp
Desert Camp is situated just 5 km from the entrance gate to Sossusvlei and Sesriem Canyon in the Namib Naukluft Park.

Each air-conditioned room features twin beds. Utility boxes with most utensils needed are available at reception and fresh food supplies can be ordered daily.

Facilities at the main building include a fully stocked and serviced bar with big screen television, a sparkling swimming pool and 2 communal bomas.

Meals can be enjoyed at the nearby Sossusvlei Lodge restaurant.

A fully stocked shop, fuel and an Internet café is available at the Sossus Oasis Service Station.

Overnight: Desert Camp, Sesriem

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Embark on an unforgettable journey as your day unfolds in the captivating desert landscapes surrounding Sesriem. Your adventure begins at Sossusvlei, where the towering red dunes create a mesmerising backdrop capturing the beauty of the vast, untouched Namib Desert.

Next, explore the surreal landscapes of Deadvlei, a white clay pan surrounded by some of the highest dunes in the world. Marvel at the ancient camel thorn trees, frozen in time against the backdrop of vivid orange dunes. The otherworldly atmosphere of Deadvlei provides a unique and awe-inspiring experience.

Continue your exploration to Sesriem Canyon, where the forces of nature have carved a deep gorge into the desert rock. Wander through the canyon, marvelling at its towering walls and discovering the history behind the six-length leather thongs that give Sesriem its name.

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group. 
 
Tour Leader
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined. 
 
Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.
