The Namib-Naukluft National Park was quite an experience. The dry veld and desolate environment gave an almost eerie feeling driving around in the park. The lodge was lovely and we enjoyed our stay.

The scenery is amazing and very pleasant. This is not a crowded area bringing the tranquility atnosphere that we were looking for.
The birds are all over the place and at night you can easly observe the starts.

We loved our trip to the Sossuvlei Desert. It is a unic place with scenic views and a good energy. It seams that Namibia is still evoluing in the tourst business. I think that the service given on the trip is too expensive for what they offer, but it is still worth. I would do it again.

The Namib desert is bleak and barren and vast, but also can be beautiful and surprisingly varied.
Plus there is some great wildlife here if you have a good local guide who knows where and how to find it.

Wilderness in its entire splendor!

An ideal place to experience quietude and divinity. Barely witnessed any sign of human presence at all throughout my staying in the park. Immense areas of empty desert and desolate mountains where various refined for such harsh conditions creatures live. Climbing a dune through dawn to marvel at the desert sunrise, and hiking for a few hours through the extreme desert heat to Sossusvlei salt/clay pan and its for-ages-immemorial-dead trees were among the highlights of the trip.

The breathtaking beauty of the desert left me speechless.

I had high hopes of the park as a I like deserts. But the colours and shapes of the landscape far exceeded my expectations. I loved the Namib desert. It is surprising how animals can survive in such a harsh environment but they do. The sight of Oryx (in my view the most beautiful of the antelopes) set against the massive, golden dunes will stay with me forever. The lodge we stayed in was the friendliest and prettiest in our whole trip.

The Namib naukluft national park is a great spot to see and experience a rugged red rock sand and desert landscape. It is however rather poor for wildlife viewing, except a few Orzx Antelopes.

Stunning park with great scenary and good wildlife (although not as good for wildlife as other Namibian parks). You would need to be mental to miss this place if you're going to Namibia.
