Deadvlei, located within Namib-Naukluft Park, is a stunning clay pan dotted with ancient, skeletal trees against a backdrop of towering sand dunes, most notably Big Daddy. Accessibility involves driving through sandy terrain, often requiring a 4x4 vehicle and sometimes a shuttle service from Sossusvlei. Exploring independently is possible, but guided tours offer valuable insights into the area's geology and ecology. Be mindful of the intense heat, especially during the summer months (November to February), and plan your visit for early morning or late afternoon. The entrance fee to Namib-Naukluft Park is approximately N$80 per person per day, plus vehicle fees. A typical visit lasts 2-4 hours, including the walk to and from the parking area. Remember to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and a hat to protect yourself from the harsh sun.
