"Namib Naukluft Park" Top 5 Page for this destination Namib-Naukluft Park by Myndo

Namib-Naukluft Park Travel Guide: 143 reviews and 397 photos

One big National Park from Swakopmund south to Lüederitz.

Located at the Atlantic Ocean but dry as a bone.

The highest sand dunes you can find on the world. (See Soussouvlei),

Diamond fields - unfortunately not for you to see..

You would think that such a stretch of dry land would be boring, but you are wrong.

Nowhere else the desert has such a wonderful face. The colors the dunes have in the early morning, the wide, open landscape, the plants (eg the miraculous welwitchia) and the animals that survive here... all this makes this a beautiful place in this earth.

Last visit to Namib-Naukluft Park: Sep 2003

I think someone was reading your pages and took action because the Sussusvlei road is now real smooth and a pleasure to drive :-) Great pages!

Personally I loved Soussosvlei and the dunes there, I didn't mind the road access, the dunes more than made up for it! Great pictures of the dunes!

Great tips showing that beauty can be found in some what we call the World's most desolate places - it just takes the discerning eye.
