Absolutely stunning place to visit! Drive there as early as possible to avoid high heat. Walk to Deadvlei valley from car park is 30 mins or less ON SAND! can be difficult terrain. So peaceful and special - what an absolute honour to visit here. Pictures have no filter

This place was awesome. It's a challenge to get to, but worth the effort. The regular trail is easy, no real fitness is needed. Walking along the dead trees is otherworldly. The huge dunes rise right up around them. You can all climb to the top of the dunes if you wish. A reasonable round trip up to the top of the dune and walking back through the trees will take about 90min to 2hrs.

Gets very steep close to the top. Rewards you with a really nice view on top though, definitely worth the hike! Be sure to walk up Big Mama early and if possible in the shade, otherwise it'll be a real challenge! Also bring enough water.

When you see the dune from the bottom you are surely not so thrilled to climb it in that extreme heat. But it is well worth it. The first half is much much harder than the second and the views from the top are just something else. Absolutely breathtaking. Plus you can get down in like 5 minutes and it is so much fun. Well well worth it to climb all the way to the top when you are there.

It may not be as well known as Deadvlei , but Hidden Vlei is quite special. Surrounded bye the orange Sand dunes with a couple of preserved trees emerging from the white, cracked and perfectly flat clay surface, it’s solitude and expanse are quietly mesmerising, and well worth the walk from the car park for Dead Vlei. An early start is best!

(Translated by Google) Fairy circles are strange circles of sand bare of grass in places where there is a lot of grass around them in the sandy desert pastures of Namibia. They form and then disappear after years for no known reason The reasons for its formation are still unknown. The reasons for the formation of these circles were attributed to the formation of underground termite nests, but excavations have not shown any evidence of this. Other explanations for these circles have failed, such as differences in nutrients in the soil or plant death due to toxic fumes from the ground. A comparison was made of satellite images from 2004 to 2008, and it was discovered that the circles are completely stable. These circles sometimes appeared in their full size, sometimes they appeared and then quickly grew to their full size, and sometimes they disappeared. The sizes of these circles range from large to small, with the diameter of the smallest reaching two meters, while the diameter of the largest can reach 12 meters. (Original) دوائر الجن (بالإنجليزية: Fairy circles) هي دوائر غريبة من الرمال عارية من العشب في أماكن يكثر العشب فيها من حولها في المراعي الصحراويه الرملية في ناميبيا. وهي تتشكل ثم تختفي بعد سنوات بدون سبب معروف ما زالت أسباب تكونها مجهولة. وقد عزيت الأسباب لتشكل هذه الدوائر إلى يكون أعشاش النمل الأبيض تحت الأرض لكن لم تظهر الحفريات أي دليل على ذلك. وفشلت تفسيرات أخرى لتكون هذه الدوائر مثل الاختلافات في العناصر الغذائية في التربة أو وفاة النبات بسبب أبخرة سامة من الأرض. جرت مقارنة لصور ألتفت بواسطة الأقمار الصناعية في الفترة من 2004 إلى 2008 وتم بموجب ذلك معرفة أن الدوائر مستقرة تماما. وقد ظهرت هذه الدوائر في حجمها الكامل أحيانا وأحيانا تظهر ثم تنمو بسرعة إلى الحجم الكامل واحيانا تختفى. تتراوح احجام تلك الدوائر بين الكبير والصغير حيث قطر أصغرها يصل إل مترين في حين أن قطر أكبرها يمكن أن يصل إلى 12 متر
