What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Windhoek for May 1 to July 31, 2027, round trips of 4 to 7 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- The last five kilometres to the pan are deep sand; without a four wheel drive you need the park shuttle.
- Sunrise is the point of the trip, so stay inside the park gate or at Sesriem to be there when it opens.
- Windhoek is the arrival airport and Sossusvlei is a long drive south west, usually broken over two days or flown by light aircraft.
