Camping Namibia

Park / Reserve: Sossusvlei & Namib-Naukluft

Sossusvlei and the wider Namib-Naukluft National Park are home to the world’s tallest sand dunes and the eerie, sun-bleached camelthorn trees of Deadvlei — Namibia’s single most photographed landscape and the reason many visitors come to the country at all. Dune 45 and Big Daddy draw sunrise hikers, while the gateway settlements of Sesriem and Solitaire (famous for its apple pie) offer the closest camping to the park gates, letting campers reach the dunes before the morning heat and the tour-bus crowds. Sesriem Canyon itself is an easy afternoon walk from most campsites in the area.

Stop by the Padstal on your way to Sesriem or Sossusvlei for a drink, a snack, or a hearty meal on the veranda.

It is a first in the world innovation, and we guarantee you will want to stop here again on your way back from Sesriem.

    While you soak up the scenery and enjoy a refreshment at Rooi Dak Padstal, you can also browse for the perfect gift or souvenir for a loved one (or for yourself). We have a wide selection of Namibian-made artisanal products available, such as pampering products, rustic home décor, clothing and shoes, artworks and photography prints and more!

    Once you are well fed and hydrated, and you have enjoyed some retail therapy, you need to stop by our key attraction – the infamous Soviet rocket! It certainly will make for a good photo opportunity. You may be wondering how and why a Soviet rocket ended up in the middle of nowhere in the Namib Desert, so come and find out from our friends Rasputin and Nazalinsky at the Rooi Dak Padstal. +264 83 000 0007/ +264 81 389 7670/ +264 81 389 7670/ www.barkhan.africa
