The period between July and October is selected to fully allow tourists to be mesmerized by the million-year-old Sossusvlei dunes, “an otherworldly landscape unlike anything they’ve ever seen.”
Travel Bloggers, Deb and Dave from The Planet D, said the massive dunes of Sossusvlei in Namib Naukluft National Park attract visitors from around the world, adding however, they were mesmerized by Fish River Canyon.
“The 550 m (1804 feet) deep canyon is the largest in Africa. The city of Windhoek was a lovely break from our bicycle ride through the Kalahari Desert,” the pair said.
