Deadvlei - A Photographers Dream

Posted on 6/4/25

Just a short drive from Sossusvlei, you’ll find the breathtaking Deadvlei - one of the most popular spots in the Namib National Park. It’s easily one of the most stunning sights in all of Southern Africa.

Imagine this: petrified trees standing tall, their parched limbs stretching out like arms across the vast, white expanse of the pan. It’s a surreal scene, especially when you pair it with the deep blue skies and the towering orange sands of Big Daddy, the tallest dune in the area (at 325 meters).

I’ve been lucky enough to visit this place three times over two different days, and I can tell you that the best time to capture its beauty is either at dawn or dusk. But no matter which time of day you go, it’s a photographer’s dream come true.
