„When visiting Sossusvlei, you will stay at Sesriem Campsite which gives you a head start to other travellers. The park gate opens at sunrise, but those staying at the campsite can enter an hour early. When the sun begins to rise you can enjoy the stunning sunrise across the sea of sand dunes in the Namib. If there was ever a day you would get up early during your holiday, this should be it.”Mia | Namibia Travel Expert
