Namibia is a land of contrasts with red sand dunes in Namib Desert which are the number one tourist attraction. The spectacular red dunes cover 34,000 square kilometers and stretch 130 kilometers inland from the coast. Sossusvlei are the highest and the most spectacular sand dunes in the world.
You can climb the 200-metre-high dune and then launch yourself down its sheer face, running in slow-motion as the sand sucks you down. It’s like running on a sponge.
If you move faster than your feet can pull out of the sand then you will face problem as your feet struggle to keep up with you. It is critical to keep control or you can swallow half the dune and there’s a lot of dune to swallow.
The best time to view the sand dunes is at sunrise. At this time the colors are strong and constantly changing.
As the rising sun strikes them, creating spectacular wavy lines, the eastern side of the dunes turns bright red and the shaded side stays a deep black. It will allow you for wonderful photographic opportunities. Sunset also offers excellent photo opportunities.
Go on safari here and enjoy wide open spaces nestled between the vast desert landscapes. These are awesomely enormous and eerily tantalizing. I’m sure you will be really stunned by the spectacle arranged by nature.
