Namib-Naukluft Park encompasses part of the Namib Desert, the Naukluft mountain range, and the lagoon at Sandwich Harbour.

The Park was formed from four regions namely Namib, Naukluft, Sesriem/Sossusvlei and Sandwich Harbour. Here some parts of the Restricted Diamond Area have been added.

The roads are spectacular, so make sure you leave plenty of time to stop, take photographs and have a picnic surrounded by space and silence.

An hour’s drive northeast of Sesriem, the main escarpment juts out into the desert forming a range known as the Naukluft Mountains.

In 1968 these were protected within the Naukluft Mountain Zebra Park – to conserve a rare breeding population of Hartmann’s mountain zebra.

Shortly afterwards, land was bought to the west of the mountains and added to the park, forming a corridor linking these mountains into the Namib National Park.

This allowed oryx, zebra and other game to migrate between the two, and in 1979 the parks were formally combined into the Namib-Naukluft National Park.

Sossusvlei, Dead Vlei and Sesriem

Your 3 day Sossusvlei tour goes about 4km from Sesriem, following the signs left as you enter the gates, is Sesriem Canyon. At Sesriem the Tsauchab River has dug an approximately 1 km long and 30 metre deep canyon into the ground.

This is a narrow fissure in the sandstone, 30m deep in places, carved by the Tsauchab River. It was used by the early settlers, who drew water from it by knotting together six lengths of hide rope (called riems). Hence it became known as ses riems.

Sossusvlei is the name of a salt-clay pan surrounded by dunes. A 3 day Sossusvlei Tour to Sossusvlei takes you approximately 60 km away from Sesriem.

The road from Sesriem to Sossusvlei is soon confined into a corridor, flanked by huge dunes. Gradually, this narrows, becoming a few kilometres wide.

This unique parting of the southern Namib’s great sand sea has probably been maintained over the millennia by the action of the Tsauchab River and the wind.

The major parts of the Namib Naukluft Park are inaccessible for humans. Of the huge area of which 32,000 km² exist of dune fields. The 3 day Sossusvlei Tour will access the area north of the Kuiseb River, the Naukluft Mountains and the Sossusvlei can be visited.

Since 2010 the Namib Naukluft Park belongs to the Namib Skeleton Coast National Park. Together, this forms the biggest protected area of Namibia and the eight biggest worldwide.

This Park was formed by the merging of the Skeleton Coast Park andthe Namib Naukluft Park. Others are the Restricted Diamond Area and the Dorob National Park.

Dead Vlei is an old pan with merely the skeletons of trees left – some over 500 years old. Many consider it to be more starkly beautiful than Sossusvlei.

The Fish River Canon and the marine reserve Meob-Chamais are also part of this conservation area. This newly developed Namib Skeleton Coast National Park stretches along the entire Atlantic coast of Namibia.

It starts from the border of Angola in the north down to the border of South Africa in the south and has a length of 1570 km.
