An absolute great video I chanced upon and giving good tips. I have a question. We are a grp of photographers and intend to visit Deadvlei. One of our interest is astro photography, ie shooting star trails and milkway using the trees as back drop. In your video also shown a segment of star galzing. How is it possible to stay for the night (some star trails may take 3 hrs or more) since the 2nd gate closes ard 8pm if we understand correctly. Any idea are we allowed to stay inside? If you can elaborate how the two gates operate that will be very helpful. I learned that it is best to stay in the camp site that is after gate 1. Only then we can roam around freely in the night. But then there is gate 2. Is it always open so we can go into the dead pan in the night? Its quite confusing in some of the youtubes. TQ
What are the food options inside the park? (I mean near the gate, of course deep inside the dunes there won’t be anything obviously) And do you know if you can, for example, leave the park, put fuel in your car or eat at that petrol station you showed at 2:15, and then come back to the park for sunset with the same entrance fee? Do you have to pay again? Do you know how that works? Great video as always
They have a basic restaurant at the NWR reception I showed and a restaurant at the Sossusvlei lodge. At the garage they have pies and sandwiches. Probably more once covid is over. Yes, you can exit and re-enter as many times as you want. The park fees cover the whole day
Great information! This is the first video that mentions about the last 5km being 4x4 only. I’m coming to Namibia in November and I’m excitex to explore this beautiful country
Fantastiese videos in jou reeks, dankie. Ons is oor n week by Sossusvlei. Ons bly by Sossus Oasis vir een nag en daarna by Rostock Ritz. Hoe sal jy voorstel om tyd optimaal by Sossus te spandeer, gegewe dat ons rondom 12 uur daar aankom en weer ry due volgende dag.
Ry dan maar direk Sossusvlei toe. Gaan bietjie warm wees so op die middag. Die wind hou ook daarvan om op te tel namiddag. Doen dalk middag ete by Sossusvlei, daarna die stap na Dooievlei en op die pad terug kan julle by Duin 45 stop en/of Elim duin stop. Die mense doen gewoonlik sunset by Elim
thanks Nick for an informative video. would you be able to recommend a 4 day self driving trip in Oct this yr starting from kambaku lodge ?

enjoyed your video the fantastic skies and the beautiful desert it has some sort of magic to it
It really is magical, pity I have to leave soon
Beautiful Namibia! Mooi video Nick 👌🏼
Dankie Reinier. Sossusvlei maak dit maklik om mooi videos te maak🙂
Such an amazing place. I was there 10 years again, hope to visit again soon.
Hope you get here soon🙂
Awesome Video, very informative and concise
Thanks Eugen!
Great video, as always! 👍
Thanks Gert!
Are you fully cadaan
Say again?
great video, visiting in March. thanks for the details. quick question, are drones allowed?
Great video. We are planning a trip there this year.
Nice Videos Nick.., is it possible to drive from Rooiklip Guest Farm via Spreetshoogte Pass and get to Walvis Bay?
with a 4x4?
Never mind my question in your other video, this one gave me exactly the information needed !
Great information! This is the first video that mentions about the last 5km being 4x4 only. I’m coming to Namibia in November and I’m excitex to explore this beautiful country
Its a pleasure, hope the planning is coming along well👍
Beautiful Namibia.. Landscape looks like you are on the moon, except for the water 😂😂 How many kilometres is it from Windhoek?
the water is lucky, if you swim in it you will become a rich man with many wives😂about 400km roughly, 350 if you dont get lost along the way
I would say so many things... but I guess for today, I should just summarise them all to: You're simply the best! Thanks a lot 🙌
Thank you! 😃
I drove to deadvlei in my 4x2 about a month ago…it can be done but you must know how to drive in thick sad 😹😹🙈
yip, you and I can do it, but Ive helped so many there stuck with big 4x4s
U travel nice men wow
Because of the climate change from now on Sossusvlei will be wet each year, I expect.
Very possible. I think out of the last 3 years Sossusvlei has had water for 2 of them...

Hey, I'm going to Sossusvlei on this June. is there any guide or we have to walk the dune solo ?
There are no guides. You will have to book a private one, if you want to use a guide
nice! thanks! Did u say u r leaving Africa, wasnt very clear.
Thanks Dinka, no I am leaving Namibia, where I am from to explore the rest of Africa for 10 years
Great stuff Nick
Was here in September. Amazing place
Yip, one of my favorites in Namibia
Looks much dryer than almost 20 years ago and then ...... water in Dead Vlei :) :)
yeah always very dry, did you see water in Sossusvlei when you visited?
@@NickfrNamibia No, it was like (I thought) always: white and dry... so you brought surprising news ;)
