Luxury holidays in Sossusvlei

When to go

Sossusvlei is a year-round destination; from November to May, it’s rainy season, so for the driest experience, it’s best to visit between June and September.

Getting there

• Planes

  The closest international airport is Hosea Kutako in the capital, Windhoek, from where you can either self-drive or take onward air transfers arranged by your safari camp.

• Automobiles

  If you’re coming from the capital, Windhoek, it’s a five-hour drive to reach Sossusvlei and you’ll need 4WD. What the route lacks in brevity, it compensates for with shifting desert views.
