Naukluft National Park

Desert on one side. Mountains on the other. Namib Naukluft National Park brings together two landscapes that each shape Namibia in their own way.

Discover everything about this location.

Where desert and mountains meet.

With an area of almost 50,000 km², Namib Naukluft National Park is, according to the current page, the largest wildlife park in Africa. A large part consists of the Namib Desert and the Naukluft mountains.

Sossusvlei and Deadvlei also lie within the boundaries of the park. Two places that define the dry desert landscape of this part of Namibia.

The dryness is clearly present here. Even so, there is wildlife. In Naukluft Mount Zebra Park you may come across zebras. The mountain area is also suitable for continuing on foot.

Sand below. Mountains ahead.

Namib Naukluft is not about one landscape. The open desert gives way to the rougher Naukluft mountains. That also changes the way you experience the area.

In the mountains you can walk and look for zebras in Naukluft Mount Zebra Park. Take the heat into account. Setting out well prepared is simply part of the route here.

Further on lie Sossusvlei and Deadvlei. In this way one national park brings together desert plains and mountain landscape.

From desert route to walking trail.

  • Drive through a national park of almost 50,000 km².
  • See how the Namib Desert gives way to the Naukluft mountains.
  • Visit Sossusvlei and Deadvlei within the park.
  • Head into the Naukluft area on foot.
  • Look out for zebras in Naukluft Mount Zebra Park.
  • Prepare well for the heat during walks.
