Namibia in February — Sossusvlei dunes, Dead Vlei and a 4x4 that needs a co-pilot

Trip Description

Booked flights to Windhoek for early Feb and I'm going full send. Plan is to watch sunrise over the Sossusvlei dunes, hike into Dead Vlei before the heat melts me, and squeeze in a night in Swakopmund. Self-driving a 4x4 but I'd rather split the wheel (and the fuel) with someone who's up for dirt roads and dumb jokes. February heat is no joke, so bring grit and a good hat. Anyone in?
