When the shadows are still long, the dead trees of Deadvlei in the Sossusvlei Desert glow in the soft light of early morning. The silhouettes of the decaying trees cast long shadows on the white, cracked ground, while the imposing red dunes in the background glow in the first rays of daylight. The golden glow of the sunrise bathes the scene in a mesmerising tranquillity that emphasises the untouched vastness and majestic beauty of the Namibian desert. This mystical atmosphere is unique and captures the essence of the desert experience.
