  The desert rains

  1. jan. – 31. mar. · normaltMonsunRisiko

  Rain here is a handful of storms rather than a season, but a big one cuts the Sesriem road, runs the canyon and puts grass on the dune streets within a week. It is also the emptiest the park gets.

  The inner gate opens an hour early

  1. jan. – 31. dec. · normaltLukninger

  The outer gate at Sesriem opens at sunrise; the inner gate opens an hour before, and only guests staying inside the fence get through it. That hour is the difference between shooting Deadvlei in low light and arriving with everybody else. Kilde ↗

  Water in the vlei

  1. feb. – 15. apr. · normaltHøjvande

  Every few years the Tsauchab runs far enough to put water into Sossusvlei itself and it stands for weeks. It is not annual and it cannot be planned for; the years it happens, getting down the last stretch is the problem.

  Milky Way over the dunes

  1. apr. – 30. sep. · normaltMørk himmel

  The reserves either side of the park are among the darkest measured places on earth, and the dry months put the core of the Milky Way overhead on cloudless nights. No lodge here fights it with outdoor lighting.

  The cool dry months

  1. maj – 30. sep. · normaltTørsæsonTætpakket

  Cold at dawn, warm by ten and cloudless throughout. It is the comfortable half of the year for climbing a dune before breakfast, and the half everybody else has also booked.

  Heat before the rains

  1. okt. – 31. dec. · normaltEkstrem varme

  From October the dunes are unclimbable much after nine in the morning and the walk into Deadvlei is a first-light job or nothing. Carry your own water; there is none between the gate and the vlei. Kilde ↗

  The Sesriem campsite and the handful of lodges within reach of the gate are full over the holidays, in the hottest weeks of the year. The alternative is a two-hour drive in the dark from further out. Kilde ↗
