Welcome to the next episode of the Namibia series, where we take you on a journey through Namibia, a country known for its stunning landscapes and natural wonders. Today, we are exploring the Sossusvlei dunes, one of the most iconic and breathtaking destinations in the country.
The Sossusvlei dunes are part of the Namib-Naukluft National Park, located in the southern part of Namibia. These towering sand dunes are among the tallest in the world, reaching heights of over 300 meters. The unique orange colour of the dunes is due to the high iron content in the sand, which reflects the sunlight in a spectacular way.
We arrived at the park early in the morning, and unfortunately, we were greeted by heavy fog. However, despite the weather conditions, I decided to make the best of it and explore the dunes. I walked through the fog, feeling the dampness and the coolness of the air. As I walked through the dunes, I couldn't help but feel small and insignificant in comparison to the towering peaks around me.
One of the highlights of my trip was climbing the highest dune in the park, known as "Big Daddy." The climb was challenging, but the fog provided an eerie and unique atmosphere. I couldn't see the views from the top, but it was an adventure I will always remember.
After my climb, we headed back to camp for a well-deserved rest and some lunch. The rest was much needed after the hike and it helped me to recharge for the rest of the day.
The next day, we flew to Altekalkoefen, our last stop on our way back to South Africa. It was an amazing experience to see the landscape from above and watch the dunes pass by. I couldn't help but think about how lucky I am to be able to see the world from such a unique perspective. It was however short lived as once again the fog had rolled in from the ocean causing us to land on a farm road and wait it out.
Overall, the Sossusvlei dunes are a must-see destination for anyone visiting Namibia. The natural beauty, the adventure, and the sense of awe that you will experience will stay with you for a long time. I hope you enjoyed this episode, and don't forget to subscribe to the channel for more flying adventures. Namibia and Sossusvlei dunes are truly a magical place, and I can't wait to come back and experience it again.
The biggest of thank you's once again to the people that helped make this trip possible:
