Our first stop will the famous Dune 45 which we will have the option of climbing, as the view of this remarkable landscape is even more mesmerizing from the dune summits. We will spend most of our time around the Deadvlei area, famed for and characterized by the dark, dead camel thorn trees contrasted against the white pan floor.
