NAMIB-NAUKLUFT PARK

This is the largest conservation area in Namibia, measuring almost 50,000 sq. km and incorporating most of the 130 million year old Namib Desert after which Namibia takes its name. This is a land of ethereal landscapes and endless horizons, sun-bronzed and untamed, it is a place of silence and of solitude.

A climb to the top of one of the gigantic sand dunes surrounding Sossusvlei to watch the sunset slowly cast its shadows over the ancient sea of surrounding dunes is so haunting, it will be etched in your mind forever. Near Sossusvlei, the Sesriem Canyon has been gouged out of rock over the centuries by the Tsauchab River and is now mostly small pools of water on a gravel bed, attracting many birds and animals. To the far south of the park near Lüderitz, one can explore the deserted houses in the ghost town of Kolmanskop and to the west at Swakopmund, one can marvel at the fantastic rock formations of the ‘Moonlandscape’ and visit Sandwich Harbour where the sand dunes meet the sea.
