Big Daddy Dune is an incredible feat of nature located between Sossusvlei and Deadvlei in Namibia. Standing at a magnificent 325 meters, it elevates above the other dunes of the area. Climbing to the top provides eye-catching views of the surrounding area, including the vast panorama of Deadvlei below. Big Daddy is definitely not for the timid, but is a popular destination for those brave enough to climb its summit. When you arrive at the top it's a must to run down the dune into the deadvlei, an amazing experience! A trip to this majestic dune makes for a great adventure and is a must if you are exploring the Sossusvlei area.
