Sossusvlei, located within the Namib-Naukluft National Park in Namibia, is a mesmerizing and iconic destination in the heart of the Namib Desert. Renowned for its towering red sand dunes, some of the highest in the world, Sossusvlei captivates visitors with its surreal and ever-changing landscapes. The most famous dune, Big Daddy, rises dramatically, offering panoramic views of the vast salt and clay pan known as Deadvlei.

The stark contrast of the vivid orange dunes against the clear blue sky creates a photographer's dream. Deadvlei, dotted with ancient, desiccated camel thorn trees, adds an eerie beauty to the scene. Visitors can explore the dunes on foot or by 4x4, witnessing the mesmerizing play of light and shadow during sunrise and sunset. Sossusvlei stands as the raw and haunting beauty of Namibia's desert landscapes.

Let us take you on a memorable adventure to the Sossusvlei. We also offer various Namibia Tours to all other Destinations in Namibia.

Award-Winning Stories, And Opinions To Fill Your Life With Adventure

My wife and I and good friends (party of 4) joined Allan and his team in an unforgettable adventure in Kenya, Tanzania and in Rwanda, to see the great city of Kigali and to visit the mountain gorillas and golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park. Of course, we would only go with our good friend Allan.

Gary S USA

I recently booked a trip to Tanzania with Mappe Tanzania, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the post-trip follow-up, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. Our itinerary was perfectly tailored to our interests, and we had an amazing time exploring the country. I would highly recommend Mappe Tanzania to anyone looking for a stress-free and unforgettable travel experience.

Skivrmt USA

Highly recommend Maapi Tanzania and Allan Mollel! This was our first trip to Africa and it met our expectations and more. Allan is respectful of the animals, knowledgeable about the wildlife (animals, birds, and plants), local culture and provided a 5+ star experience.

S. Saville USA

MAAPE provides an incredible focus on the customer experience, with deep knowledge of the “big five” animals but also the birds, plant life, local tribes and their customs. We spent almost three weeks with Allan and could not have expected a better experience.
