Very harsh landscape and driving over dusty roads in the middle of nowhere

We witnessed the lunar eclipse and slept under the milky way. This was a lifetime experience.

Beautiful scenery, the desert elephant are a must find and the local culture makes this a great destination for the adventurous.

Amazing scenery here, for us there was not so much wildlife after being to Etosha,
but we got to see some desert elephants as well as lizards and birds - also very few tourists so great bush vibe!

Damaraland is rather barren and dusty, the wildlife are the illusive Desert Elephant (which we did not see) however, we were the only people staying at our campsite so had all the facilities to ourselves.

Damaraland is interesting for its strange landscape, with conical hills scattered over the countryside. I'm told that Namibia is the part of Africa that was once connected to South America before the continent split off, so this geological event can be seen in the landscape. In terms of wildlife, other than the seals on Cape Cross, the wildlife here is mainly in the form of reptiles such as desert chameleons, lizards, snakes or spiders. What mammals there are in the desert are small, like mice.

Damaraland is beautiful purely because of the starkness

If you have not the chance to visit the San people (Bushman), then listen carefully when they speak, all with click. The Sptizberg is great.
