As from October 2024, the NWR Shuttle to Sossusvlei departs from the Sesriem office and not from the parking area at Sossusvlei. Tickets are purchased at Sesriem Reception. There is a Shuttle Service at the parking area that is operated by About Africa, but this is for lodge guests. Guests with their own 4x4s, may still drive into the Sossusvlei area but this will change in 2025, check with Sesriem Reception on arrival. (Dec-24)
The ancient sand dunes of Sossusvlei forms part of the Namib Sand Sea World Heritage site (http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1430) and travellers are reminded to minimise their impact on the environment when visiting this eco-sensitive area by adhering to a few simple guidelines:
• Stay on the main trails rather than walk criss-cross over the sensitive vegetation areas – they may seem bare and lifeless, but many plants remain dormant until the first rains.
• The “lifeless” trees in Dead Vlei are preserved by the harsh, dry climate and are estimated to be about 900 years old. Do not damage them by climbing on them, or break branches off for firewood or keepsakes.
• The red dunes in the area has been formed over millions of years. Limit the shifting of sand down the dunes by following the trails of others, rather than sliding or running down, taking half the dune down with you.
