Scenery was beautiful. We could observe wild life often but most of them was a little far and difficult to see the detail.

This is truly a must-see in Namibia. It was our first experience with the desert in our lives and it was absolutely breath-taking.

Start your days early (the ground temperature can rise to 80°C) and visit the Deadvlei, Sossusvlei and climb the Dune 45 (before 11:00, because of the exposure and heat).
Be sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen. The view from Dune 45 is astonishing. It gives a broad overview of the area and you’ll be able to see the massive Big Daddy and Big Momma dunes.

An advice we learned while visiting: if you go early enough then climb it on your bare feet. If you can’t make it to the dune early in the morning then climb it while wearing socks.
The soft sand makes it hard to walk on either sneakers or walking shoes.

Most campsites have waterholes for the Oryx’s. In our case we had one just a few meters from our cottage so during the day (and especially the night!) it was swarming with desert foxes and Oryx’s.
If there is a pool near your campsite/cottage then make sure to visit it at night. It usually attracts thirsty wildlife.

The Namib-Naukluft is vast and is a place of spectacular scenery - from the Atlantic coastline, the sand sea of the Namib to the rugged terrain inland.

Not sure if Namib Naukluft National Park qualifies as a safari destination. However, the scenery is breathtaking beautiful. A definite-must.
