Top 5 Luxury Lodges in Sossusvlei | Ultimate Namibia Safari | Africa Incoming

Located in the southern region of the country in Sesriem, Sossusvlei is set within the heart of the park. Sossusvlei itself refers to the clay pan or 'vlei' (an Afrikaans word meaning ‘valley’ or ‘pan’) that is created by a river that flows through the Namib Desert every 5 to 10 years. Mostly dry, the pan rarely fills with water, but it is surrounded by towering dunes of up to 300 metres from the desert floor, and it is this stunning combination of scenery that makes it so enchanting. Interestingly, the word ‘sossus’ also means ‘place of no return’ which you can understand when you are there amidst the isolation of the place; there are no towns nearby, which does however mean that the night’s sky offers you the some of the most incredible star gazing in the world.
