The sand dunes of Sossusvlei are one of the world’s most amazing sights and the highest in the world. This remote region is about 300km away from any main highway, but well worth a visit. The park is open from sunup to sundown and you will need a permit to enter the park. The Dead Vlei (a salt encrusted dry lake) is about 1km away from Sossusvlei and also well worth visiting. Dune 45 is not far from the entry gate and also well worth climbing to the top. Stunning pictures can be taken on this dune and in this park. Sossusvlei is definitely a must-see on any itinerary!!!

The Kunene Region gets its name from the Kunene river and it is home to three ethnic groups – the Damara, Herero and the Himba people. It borders Angola to the north and is situated in the remote north-west of Namibia. This region offers stunning landscapes, desert mountains, plains, rivers, zebra, giraffe and various antelope. You will also find the rare Desert elephant in this region.

The Skeleton Coast Park is the northern part of the Namib Naukluft Park and is very dry.  There are a lot of shipwrecks along this coast because of the rough sea.  The northern part of the Skeleton Coast is really an unspoiled wilderness with rare and threatened desert elephants.  You will find mostly a rocky desert and dunes north of Swakopmund and sandy desert on the beach south of Swakopmund. This area offers seals, birds, jackal, brown hyaena, and the desert elephant.

Etosha National Park is one of Southern Africa's most important and largest Game Reserves and was declared a National Park in 1907.  It is home to 114 mammal species, 340 bird species, 110 reptile species, 16 amphibian species and one species of fish. Game viewing in Etosha is excellent (buck species, elephant, giraffe, rhino and lions).  There are three rest camps (Namutoni, Halali and Okaukuejo) in the Park.  Visitors from private game lodges can stop at these camps.  Most people prefer to stay at the private game lodges and then visit the park during the day.  The park is only open from sunrise to sunset.  Ongava Private Game Reserve shares a common boundary with Etosha National Park.     

Damaraland now forms part of the Erongo region in the south and the Kunene region in the north.

You will find game species such as desert elephant, black rhino, ostrich and springbok in this area of Damaraland in Namibia.
