Namibia Hardap Region Sossusvlei
Deadvlei
A barren clay pan surrounded by towering red sand dunes, featuring dead camel thorn trees that have stood for centuries in a dried-up river valley.
Tips from the community
The name Deadvlei means “dead marsh,” which sounds ominous enough and looks even more so. Remnants of trees jut from the ground with sun-soaked branches, starkly contrasting the bright orange backdrop of desert dunes. The ground surrounding these tree skeletons is a dried up white clay pan, adding another layer of uniqueness to this already mind-boggling sight.
