Namib-Naukluft National park is Namibia’s largest wildlife conservation area with stunning sights that you just have to see if you are visiting country. The park encompasses part of the Namibia Desert and the Naukluft mountain range and measures 49,768 kilometers squares making it the largest in Africa. With ancient archeological sites dating back over 200 years, a wealth of abundant wildlife and mesmerizing other worldly landscapes; this national park certainly has something that will appeal to everyone. Possibly the most famous sight in the whole of Namibia are the towering sand dunes at Sossusvlei. Under the perfectly blue sky, beautiful red sand dunes form a stunning backdrop to the withered and burnt black trees that emerge from the white sands down below. The mosaic of contrasting colors is indefinably remarkable and a must-see in the county.
The marvelous canyons at Sesriem are also fantastic to explore as are the mountain ranges within the parks. Like at Skeleton Coast National park, a number of shipwrecks are dotted along the coast, testifying to the brutal and unforgiving power of the ocean just off the shore. Somewhat mirroring the ocean in terms of its harsh environment, the arid and dry desert is now home to some abandoned towns that make for interesting exploring, their former inhabitants having long moved away.
