Park entry fees are paid at the Parks office desk by the reception desk at Sesriem

Quick tip, you can buy your park entrance permit the day before you intend to go into the desert, this is essential if you want to get into the desert early just be clear that you want the permit for the next day - give them the date you need it for.
So when you arrive in the area (staying either inside or outside the park you can access the parks desk from just after dawn until an hour before sunset) go to the desk tell them you want a permit for the next morning, pay and take the permit.
Next morning drive straight to the second gate show them your permit and away you go.
