Namib-Naukluft Park - Namibia |
|||
Highlights |
The Namib-Naukluft Park, located in the central Namib, is a massive desert and semi-desert region that includes the diverse habitats of the Namib Desert Park, the Naukluft (until recently the Naukluft Mountain Zebra Park), the dunefields of Sossusvlei and the bird lagoon at Sandwich Harbour. |

Probably one of the most remarkable areas is Sossusvlei that provides best access to part of the 300km by 150km dune expanse stretching from the Khoichab River in the south to the Kuiseb River in the north. Sossusvlei itself is a huge ephemeral pan amid red sand dunes that tower as much as 300 metres above the underlying strata. Aside from the bewitching scenery and geological fascinations held in store at Sossusvlei and Sesriem Canyon, the area is ideal for observing some of the dune life for which the Namib is so well known. Early morning traces in the sand will often tell a tale or two about the nocturnal activities of the desert's highly adapted insects, spiders, scorpions and reptiles. Two camps, Wolwedans Dunes Lodge and Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp, situated on private property just outside of Sesriem offer the best opportunity for privacy and a degree of exclusivity whilst exploring the area. |
