Budget Travel in Namibia
The sand dunes of Sossusvlei and Deadvlei are amongst Namibia's most memorable sights. However, to get to them, the last 5km of the journey is over sand and you need a 4WD. If you're a budget traveller, and could only afford to rent a 2WD, you have the option of paying for a 4WD taxi, or walking, which would save you 10 Euros one way (in 2006).
In the early morning, quite a few of us walked in. But by noon, with the temperature up in the thirties, sanity prevailed and the taxis were doing a good trade for the journey back to the tarmac road.
