Where to stay Inside the
Namib Naukluft Park at Sossusvlei
For early access to the dunes at Sossusvlei you should stay at one of the lodges or campsites situated inside the national park gate. Guests staying inside the park at Sossusvlei will have earlier access to the dunes as the internal access gate to Sossusvlei which is locked at sunset, just like the external park gate, opens approximately 1 hour before the park entrance gate (which only opens at sunrise). If you arrive at Sesriem after the park gate closes at sunset then you will not be allowed access into the park or into these Sossusvlei camps even if you have a reservation.
