Sossusvlei & Deadvlei
The world's most photographed dunes — rust-red, 300 m high, and the surreal white clay pan of Deadvlei at their feet.

Namibia's must-see highlights
The places that make Namibia unlike anywhere else. Tick the matching interest above and the planner will route you through the ones that fit your dates.
Etosha National Park
Namibia's wildlife crown — elephant, lion, rhino and giraffe gathering around floodlit waterholes on the edge of a vast salt pan.
Fish River Canyon
The second-largest canyon on earth — 160 km long, 550 m deep, best at sunrise from the main viewpoint or soaking at Ai-Ais hot springs.
Skeleton Coast & Cape Cross
Shipwrecks half-buried in fog-drenched dunes, and a 100,000-strong Cape fur seal colony at Cape Cross.
Damaraland & Twyfelfontein
Desert-adapted elephants, UNESCO rock engravings, and the red sandstone cathedrals of the Organ Pipes and Burnt Mountain.
Spitzkoppe
The "Matterhorn of Namibia" — 700 m granite peaks, a natural rock arch, and some of the darkest night skies on the planet.
Kolmanskop Ghost Town
A deserted German diamond-era town slowly being swallowed by the Namib — photographers' dream from first light to 10 a.m.
Swakopmund
A Bavarian-looking seaside town where you can sandboard in the morning, eat oysters at lunch, and walk a Victorian jetty at sunset.
Epupa Falls & Himba Country
Palm-fringed waterfalls on the Angolan border, deep in the homeland of the semi-nomadic Himba. 4x4-only, and worth every kilometre.
Zambezi Region (Caprivi)
A green ribbon of river country linking four rivers and four countries — boat safaris, hippos, elephants and a totally different Namibia.
Kalahari Red Dunes
Rust-red parallel dunes, San Bushman walks, oryx against the sunset — and some of the clearest stargazing in the Southern Hemisphere.
Walvis Bay Lagoon
Pink flamingos on a turquoise lagoon, kayaking with curious seals at Pelican Point, and 4x4 tours to towering Sandwich Harbour dunes.
