After breakfast, just enough time for a last morning drive and then off to
Little Kulala at the edge of Sossusvlei, which has the highest shifting sand
dunes in the world. Little Kulala was a more conventional camp, but had roof-top
sleeping platforms where we spent the first night. Only problem was, the full
moon woke you up at 3 a.m. making sleep nigh impossible!
