Visitors arriving in Namibia via Hosea Kutako International Airport near Windhoek can either rent a vehicle and drive the 360km (223mi) or join an organised tour, accessing the Namib-Naukluft National Park within which Sossusvlei is located, via the gate at Sesriem. The drive should take about five hours. For self-drive visitors, a 2WD vehicle is sufficient on the main routes. For minor roads, a permit and a 4×4 vehicle are required. For those wishing to fly into the area, Africa’s Eden travel members can plan your trip, including all your travel and accommodation arrangements.

The best time to visit Sossusvlei is from May to September when the temperatures aren’t as hot, and there are fewer tourists. In May and June, the price of accommodation is a bit lower, with the high season kicking in from July through to November, when tourist numbers increase significantly along with accommodation prices. While the area is not regarded as a wildlife hotspot, game viewing is best from May through to November. For those willing to brave the heat, the best time to see the Sossusvlei area carpeted in colourful wildflowers and the arrival of migratory birds is during the wetter months, from November to April.
