点评:The Big Daddy Dune in Sossusvlei is massive, and I completely underestimated it. The climb was quite difficult, as it's dune sand all the way from the bottom to the top. We took it slow (just over an hour to the summit) and often paused to rest and take in the views. Reaching the top is definitely worth it as a sense of achievement washes over you. From here, you have breathtaking views of Sossusvlei, as well as the seemingly endless sea of dunes stretching out before you. To descend, you have multiple options, with most opting for the straight down route towards Deadvlei. We ended up deciding to go straight down and it was a lot of fun, and very exhilarating as you move quite quickly. It is however good to note that this option is potentially risky and not for everyone. At the bottom, we headed back through Deadvlei towards the main Sossusvlei area. If you're planning on visiting Deadvlei as well, I highly recommend climbing Big Daddy first. I have climbed multiple dunes in the past, but Big Daddy was special. It was one of the highlights of my trip through Namibia and something I will never forget!
翻译:苏丝斯黎的大爸爸沙丘很大,我完全低估了它。攀登相当困难,因为从底部到顶部都是沙丘。我们走得很慢(只需一个多小时即可到达山顶),经常停下来休息并欣赏风景。到达顶峰绝对是值得的,因为成就感会笼罩着你。从这里,您可以欣赏到苏丝斯黎 (Sossusvlei) 的壮丽景色,以及在您面前延伸的看似无尽的沙丘海洋。要下降,您有多种选择,大多数人选择直接下行前往 Deadvlei。我们最终决定直接下去,这很有趣,而且当你移动得很快时也非常令人兴奋。但值得注意的是,这种选择存在潜在风险,并不适合所有人。在底部,我们穿过 Deadvlei 返回 Sossusvlei 主要区域。如果您也计划参观 Deadvlei,我强烈建议您先攀登 Big Daddy。我过去爬过多个沙丘,但“大爸爸”很特别。这是我纳米比亚之旅的亮点之一,也是我永远不会忘记的事情!
