The Namib Naukluft National Park is by far the biggest game park in Africa and the 4th largest in the world. The Namib Naukluft National Park covers 2 different zones the arrid Namib Desert – thought to be the oldest desert in the world and the Naukluft mountain range. it is best not to expect to see it all, with an size of about  49.768 km², it would take you months to cover! The most often visited area of the park is the Sossusvlei, which is the one of the biggest attractions in Namibia. You will visit it on many of our Africa Overland Truck tours.

You would think that nothing lives out there, due to the desert being so dry, however you will be surprised to see snakes, geckos, unusual insects, hyenas, gemsboks and jackals have all adapted to survival here. They get their moisture from fog from the Atlantic as rainfall here is very infrequent.
