Namibia's Red Desert Luxury Play Method You Should Know About N Things!

🏜️The oldest desert in the world is the Namib Desert in Namibia, a World Natural Heritage site, located in the largest national park in Africa, Namib-Naukluft National Park. The representative main visual of Namibia that we have seen countless times everywhere is the Death Valley here, next to the Sossusvlei Salt Marsh. Over 900 years ago, the climate suddenly became dry, and the sand dunes cut off the river that supplied water here. The camel thorn trees died, and the intense sunlight scorched them. The climate was too dry, and the trees didn't even have a chance to decompose and rot, so they became the black tree branches that are now over a thousand years old, and the desert behind them is called the Red Desert because of its reddish color. 🎫Tickets: Drive in the morning to get a registration number at the entrance, remember this number and drive directly into the gate to the shuttle bus at the farthest end to get into Death Valley. Generally, you won't drive to the farthest end yourself, because pure sand is too dangerous and easy to sink. Come back and take this car, get off the car and buy a ticket for 180 Namibian dollars/person in the small house. When leaving by car, buy a park ticket in the green house on the left hand side near the park gate, 650 for a car with 4 people. Give the slip to the park gate guard, register and leave. You can re-enter within the same day with the ticket, such as going to Dune 45 at sunset. But you must leave by 19:45. 🏨Hotels: From a personal preference and experience perspective, the feeling of seeing the Red Desert Death Valley is far less than staying in a desert luxury hotel. If you want to enjoy both the luxury hotel and the Red Desert, you need to stay in the desert for two nights. 1️⃣Desert Quiver Camp The price is lower, about a thousand, only includes breakfast. Dinner can be ordered from the hotel's menu of ingredients, and you can barbecue yourself in front of the room. The ingredients are very cheap, the quantity is large, and they are all marinated, just grill them directly. Including large antelope meat, steak, chicken wings, onions, potatoes, etc. Drinks can only be ordered at the bar, so it is recommended to buy them from the supermarket and bring them. There is a pool under the hill where you can watch the sunset, the scenery is very good. It is especially suitable for star shooting, with very little light pollution. The guest rooms are spacious, with bathrooms, toilets, and washrooms all available, and the quality is good. The breakfast is very rich, you have to go to the Sossusvlei Lodge opposite to eat. The hotel is more upscale than Quiver Camp, a standard desert luxury boutique hotel. Disadvantages: The room has no internet, only the pool bar has. Plugs: European standard, Swiss and South African, Swiss sockets with European ends can also be used. It is recommended to stay here when going to the Red Desert. 2️⃣Le Mirage Resort It is said to be the best resort in the area, a 20-minute drive from the Red Desert, a luxury resort hotel that looks like a black castle + yellow castle. The room rate includes breakfast and dinner, the breakfast quality is relatively poor, and there are few types. Dinner is a set meal, with a choice of large antelope meat and chicken. The potato soup tastes like mashed potatoes with water and instant noodle seasoning, it's very delicious, suitable for Chinese taste. The hotel looks good, but it's messy and can't be photographed. The room is spacious and good-looking, and there is a fun room without a roof on the top floor, with all open-air beds, toilets, and bathrooms, suitable for taking big shots. There is a massage bath in the grass next to the pool, the temperature is relatively high, can be used for relaxation. Internet: The room has no internet, only the front desk and pool bar have. It is recommended to stay here and not go anywhere. The main source of guests for these hotels is said to be mostly Germans and French.
