Sossusvlei has become one of Namibia’s main tourist attractions. It is located in the South Western part of the Country and the closest “town” is Sesriem. I say “town” because this literally only consists of a petrol (gas) station. Sossusvlei is located in the Namib Desert, the oldest and driest desert in the world. It is located at the end of a river which is called the Tsauchab. The Tsauchab river flows from the Naukluft mountains and ends where the dunes start to become bigger and bigger. Here for many years water collected and formed several clay pans among which are Deadvlei and Sossusvlei.
