Directions

Welcome to one of the most surreal and photogenic landscapes on Earth. Here in Deadvlei, or 'dead marsh', you'll wander across a stark white clay pan, punctuated by the dark, skeletal remains of camel thorn trees that died centuries ago. The pan is framed by some of the highest sand dunes in the world, their fiery red and orange hues creating a breathtaking contrast against the deep blue sky. From the 4x4 car park, it's about a 20-30 minute walk over the sand to reach this unforgettable scene, so be sure to bring water and sun protection for the journey.
