“How many nights will you stay at the Rest Camp?” – “Six” I say. “How many<\/span> nights will you stay at the Rest Camp?” – “Six<\/span> ” – I say again. “Siiiixxx nights” ???? <\/span><\/strong>

Most visitors to Sossusvlei only stay one or at most two nights at the state-run Rest Camp of the Namib-Naukluft National Park. The black man at reception is beside himself. He said we would beat a record with our 6 nights. – Soon everyone knows about it. “These are the ones who stay 6 nights”. From the second day of our stay we get the most beautiful pitch of the Rest Camp, pitch no. 28.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Sesriem is the starting point for a visit to the world-famous dune area known as Sossusvlei. Sossusvlei, the depression at the end of the Tsauchab River where the water collects when it rains enough, is about 65 km away. However, the Tsauchab only carries water every 10 years or so. The park gate opens at sunrise, but an hour earlier for those staying at the state-run Rest Camp.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
