Top Deserts in Namibia

If you're planning to climb Dune 45, go around 5 AM to catch the sunrise. Trust me, the views are breathtaking, and it's much cooler!

Pack a good pair of binoculars! You’ll find wildlife unexpectedly in the desert – perfect for bird-watching at sunrise around 6 AM when they're most active.

Bring a refillable water bottle and lots of snacks. Water sources are scarce and food prices in remote areas can be steep, so be prepared!

My advice is to bring plenty of water and some snacks. It can get super hot out there, and wandering around the dunes can make you thirsty faster than you'd think. I ran out of water too soon!

I suggest getting there by sunrise, around 6 AM, to catch that gorgeous light for photos. The morning colors are just breathtaking and you’ll avoid the midday heat too!
