Named for its location of 45 kilometres past the entrance gate at Sesriem, Dune 45 is renowned for its elegant shape, which, along with its close proximity to the road, has earned itself the distinction of ‘most photographed dune in the world’. If you’re not keen for the strenuous hike to the top of Big Daddy Dune, Dune 45 is a more forgiving alternative, standing at only 170 metres and featuring a much gentler gradient.
