Deadvlei is a photographers' paradise as the contrast between the pitch-black trees, the bleached white pans, the rust-red dunes, and deep blue sky creates incredible images.

Near Sossusvlei is the Deadvlei, a clay pan characterized by dark, dead camelthorn trees that stand out from the white pan floor. The pan was formed when the river Tsauchab was flooded and the abundance of water allowed camelthorn trees to grow. The climate changed, however, and the sand dunes invaded the pan, preventing the river from reaching the area. The trees are estimated to be 900 years old but have not decomposed due to the dry climate.

The largest population of desert-adapted elephants in the world lives in this arid environment. Recent estimates indicate that probably about 600 of these adapted elephants are in this Area.

There is a debate among zoologists and scientists about whether these desert animals should be classified as a subspecies of the elephant. Desert elephants are particularly well adapted to desert life and dry conditions. They routinely pull at long distances between feeding grounds and the scattered waterholes where they drink during the dry season. Distances of up to 70 km are covered.

While no animal sightings are guaranteed, the local herds visit the Riverbeds as a constant source of water and so the guides and trackers always have a very good chance of finding the elephants there.
