Sossusvlei
In the heart of the Namib-Naukluft Park, surrounded by a sea of ever-changing dunes lies Sossusvlei – a place of awe-inspiring beauty and home to some pretty spectacular scenery.
Burnt orange dunes tower into the vast blue sky, some 300 metres above the desert floor. It’s hard not to be moved by this desolate wilderness.
Scenic air and hot air balloon flights, sunset game drives, hiking trips, horseback trails and more await; and for those with an added sense of adventure, climbing the dunes is an unforgettable experience.

Illona Cross
Before joining Steppes Travel over 25 years ago, I spent a decade working as a ranger, guide and lodge manager across Southern and East Africa. It’s also a deeply personal place for me: I got married in Africa, honeymooned in Africa and still return every year with my family – proof that my love for the continent runs far deeper than just professional experience.
