Deadvlei Hiking Trail — photo spot in 772R+W9V, Sossusvlei, Namibia
Deadvlei Hiking Trail
The Deadvlei Hiking Trail leads through striking desert dunes to Dead Vlei, where pale dead trees stand in a salt pan under rust-orange dunes. Visit at sunrise or late afternoon for warm rim light and long shadows; midday is harsh but reveals dune texture. Reaching the trail starts from Sossusvlei—4x4 access is common, with limited parking at nearby gates and strict entrance rules inside the park.
