The Namib-Naukluft Park, covering over 49
768 km is not only the largest nature conservation
area in Namibia, but it is rated as the fourth
largest in the world, and the most unusual.
Landscapes range from an impressive mountain
massif to desert plains and high dunes, from
deep gorges to an estuarine lagoon.
Sossusvlei -This is a dune wonderland, with
towering dunes up to 300 m high surrounding
a huge, dried-up pan. Dunes extend as far as
the eye can see and their rich tints vary from
pale apricot to vivid reds and oranges. These
dunes are known as the dune sea. During an exceptionally
good rainy season the Tsauchab River flows into
the pan, which creates a haven for water birds.
During the dry season, oryx, springbok and ostriches
can be seen feeding off the sparse vegetation
along the water courses.
