There are very few places left in Africa which are so unspoiled and so unpopulated, like this one. The strange world of the Dead Pan next to the Sossusvlei attracts artists, photographers and desert enthusiasts.
It is the oldest desert in the world and also one of the largest conservation areas. The Namib Naukluft Park in the Sossusvlei region provides a singular desert experience with their red dunes. See the solitary Finger Rock and the petrified forest of Khorixas and the Erongo Mountain Nature Conservancy. Wonder at the prehistoric rock art with ancient tribes men and animals etched on the rock faces at Damaraland,Twyfelfontein and the Brandenburg Mountains, which has the highest point in Namibia, towering at the Konigstein Peak of 2,573 meters. The Hoba meteorite is the largest in the world! The area also has the world’s largest underground lake and the Dragon’s Breath cave. You’ll be able to see antelope, rhino and buffalo. The 200 meter high red sandstone is dramatically wild. The Waterberg Plateau Park north east of Etosha. Fancy bird-watching? There are over 400 bird species in the Kavango Zambezi Trans Frontier Conservation Area. Take a camel ride to Bushman land or a river boat trip. There are five national parks in the region: Mangetti, Mamili, Bwabwata, Mudumu, and Khaudom. You enter an African scene untouched by modernity, an unspoiled natural paradise. This lush wilderness fed by many rivers is completely different from the desert-like interior in the rest of Namibia. In the North east of Namibia you will encounter the Caprivi Strip and Kavango. See desert elephants lumbering across the open desert with surprisingly longer legs and larger feet which have long adapted to desert life. Stay in safari lodges or under the stars in campsites.

The Kaokoland mountain passes, including Van Zyls pass and the Marienfluss valley, are both challenging for drivers yet memorable. This contrasts with green river banks and valleys.
When the rainy season comes and saturates the salt flats, pink flamingos will begin settling down in the thousands within the waters.Ī real challenge for four wheel drive vehicles is the Kaokoland and Kunene River area with its stark rocky and sandy turfs, a completely otherworldly landscape. Etosha is very accessible even to non four wheel drive vehicles and unlike the Serengeti and parks in Kenya there is no fear no danger of tourist vans creating soil erosion. There are also smaller carnivores like hyenas and bat-eared foxes. The lunar landscape of the salt flats and wilderness hosts elephants, oryx kudu, black rhino, lions, cheetahs, and leopards.
