Sossusvlei & Deadvlei: Climbing “Big Daddy”

TL;DR – The Namib Desert holds some of the tallest dunes on Earth, but nothing beats the view from the top of “Big Daddy.” Climbing this 325-meter dune gives you a bird’s-eye view of Deadvlei – a white clay pan filled with 900-year-old skeletons of trees. It is a quiet, visual reset that feels like walking through a surrealist painting.
